Introduction

"Kingdom Come: Deliverance II," the long-awaited sequel, brings back the medieval intrigue and realism that captivated players in the original. Building on its predecessor's success, this highly anticipated game expands its vast, historically rich world, placing players once again in the boots of Henry as he navigates a realm of political conflict, brutal combat, and deep personal quests.

Players can enjoy breathtaking visuals, customizable settings, and support for upscalers and improved quality settings vs console, bringing the 15th century to life in stunning detail.



Kingdom Come: Deliverance II is developed by Warhorse Studios, the team behind the original game, known for its commitment to historical accuracy and deep role-playing mechanics. Powered by an upgraded version of CryEngine, the sequel delivers great visuals, realistic melee combat, and a richly detailed medieval world. The PC version offers support for upscalers like NVIDIA DLSS and AMD FSR, but there is no support for ray tracing or frame generation.
