Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 (KCD2) remains one of the most anticipated RPGs on its way to PC and consoles. The sequel to Kingdom Come: Deliverance promises plenty of action alongside some rich storytelling.

With fans patiently waiting to get their hands on the game and reunite with Henry, all eyes are turning towards the release date.

When exactly is KCD2 launching? Keep on reading for everything there is to know!

When is the Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 release date?

The Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 release date is 4th February 2025, the developers have now confirmed.

The game was previously announced for 2024 before being pushed back until 11th February. Now Warhorse Studios has moved the date a week forward which is great news.

February has become a popular time to launch games, though, with Hogwarts Legacy last year and Elden Ring the year before that. And this year, Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League was in that slot.

KCD2 will join a well-attended February club when it launches, then!

Can I pre-order Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2?

Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 is available to pre-order for PlayStation and Xbox platforms.

Those planning to play on Microsoft’s or Sony’s consoles can purchase the game ahead of its launch now.

For PC players, both Steam and Epic Games Store have options to add the game to a wishlist, but no option to pre-order just yet.

When a release date is confirmed by Warhorse Studios, there’s a high chance the PC storefronts will open pre-orders then.

There’s no news on whether pre-ordering will provide players with any bonuses or exclusive content. When an announcement is made, we’ll update the page as soon as we can.

Which consoles and platforms can play Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2?

The Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 is releasing on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S and PC.

It’s unclear if Warhorse Studios has plans to release the game on the Nintendo Switch. The developer did release the original Kingdom Come: Deliverance on the console, giving fans some hope they can take the RPG on the go.

If there are any developments surrounding a Switch release of Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, we will share the latest information as soon as it appears.

Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 gameplay and story details

Based on what’s been announced, Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 players will experience the majority of the story from a first-person perspective with third-person cutscenes scattered throughout.

While the game does contain several elements typical of an RPG, such as interactive NPCs and skill trees, there are no classes or character creation options.

The story is a direct sequel from Kingdom Come: Deliverance, with the main narrative of Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 focusing on the exploits of Henry of Skalitz. Players will play as a skilled soldier battling in a war against Sigismund the Red Fox.

Players have plenty of options when it comes to choosing how they play and progress through the main narrative. Some players may opt for the life of a thief, utilising pickpocketing to generate income at the risk of being caught by the authorities.

Others may choose the life of a knight, using charm and assisting others along their journey.

Regardless of choice, players will have an extensive range of options to choose how they shape their version of Henry, the main protagonist of Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2.

Is there a Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 trailer?

Yes, alongside the official announcement trailer, there was an official game reveal trailer that released in April.

In the game reveal, Warhorse Studios shares more details surrounding what players can expect from Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, including how they can mould Henry into a unique character.

The trailer also showcases short snippets of gameplay, demonstrating action-packed battles from a first-person perspective and the huge variety of environments that players can explore on their journey.
