Available Platforms
Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 will be accessible on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via both Steam and the Epic Games Store. Players can add the game to their wish lists on all platforms to stay updated.
While the original game made its mark on previous generation consoles like PS4 and Xbox One, there are no current announcements regarding the sequel’s availability on these platforms. The developers have indicated that technical challenges with the Series S hardware contribute to this uncertainty.
Game Pass Availability
Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 will not be available on Xbox Game Pass at launch, and details regarding potential future inclusion remain unclear. The first title made its debut on Game Pass in 2019, two years post-release, before being removed in August 2020.
Trailers Overview

Gameplay Mechanics of Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2
Continuing in the same vein as its predecessor, Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 remains a first-person action RPG set in a richly detailed open world. Players will have the ability to customize Henry’s appearance, skills, and gear while engaging in various activities ranging from blacksmithing to alchemy.
The game boasts two expansive maps, each comparable in size to the original game’s landscape. Initially, players will explore the picturesque countryside surrounding Trosky Castle, eventually making their way to the vast Kuttenberg map:
A recent blog post from the development team highlighted how players can uniquely shape Henry’s journey, emphasizing character development based on skills learned and interactions within the game world.
According to the developers, “Kingdom Come: Deliverance II is a proudly traditional RPG that relies more on underlying systems than on heavily scripted encounters.” This approach means the game world genuinely reflects player choices; townsfolk will react based on Henry’s actions and demeanor, creating a living, breathing environment where decisions yield tangible consequences.
Combat remains a fundamental aspect of the gameplay, offering visceral experiences where players can confront foes on foot or horseback, or opt for a more stealthy approach. A diverse selection of combat styles and weaponry, including traditional melee options and ranged weapons such as the hand-canon, which represents an early form of gunpowder firearm, will enrich the player’s tactical choices.
Player decision-making is crucial; Henry’s actions will significantly impact his narrative arc and how the game world responds to him.
Narrative Insights
Picking up where the original game concluded, Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 unfolds in a tumultuous early 15th-century Bohemia, where the kingdom is embroiled in chaos. Following Sigismund of Hungary’s violent coup against his brother, Henry finds himself rekindling his quest for retribution against those responsible for the tragic loss of his family.
As a trusted ally of the rightful king, Henry is tasked with escorting Sir Hans Capon on a diplomatic venture. However, an ambush disrupts their mission, launching the pair into a series of hazardous adventures that test their skills, character, and friendship.
The sequel is expected to include more than five hours of cinematic cut scenes, immersing players deeply into this historic narrative.
