Yesterday, Warhorse Studios and publisher Prime Matter released a new Kingdom Come: Deliverance to celebrate the game's fifth anniversary. Additionally, PC players also received a patch with new voiceovers for the Czech and Japanese languages.
The former was the result of a fan and community initiative and highlights the love and passion of an ever-growing fanbase all around the world. Players can go for full immersion as they play as Henry Jindrich in feudal Bohemia with native Czech language.
The Japanese voice-overs were commissioned due to local demand and will expand the appeal of the franchise across Japan as players take Henry on his adventures.
Kingdom Come: Deliverance has now sold over five and a half million units, up half a million from last June's five million milestone. The game is obviously a success, but Warhorse Studios has kept its cards close to the chest so far and didn't reveal what they're working on next.
If you still haven't played it, it is a first-person open world roleplaying game set in medieval Bohemia. It prides itself on focusing on realism compared to other open world RPGs. Originally funded via Kickstarter, Kingdom Come: Deliverance is now available on PC, PlayStation and Xbox consoles (including the new ones through backward compatibility), Nintendo Switch, and Amazon Luna. There's a Collection edition that includes all of the released DLCs.
You're Henry, the son of a blacksmith. Thrust into a raging civil war, you watch helplessly as invaders storm your village and slaughter your friends and family. Narrowly escaping the brutal attack, you grab your sword to fight back. Avenge the death of your parents and help repel the invading forces!
- Massive realistic open world: Majestic castles, vast fields, all rendered in stunning high-end graphics.
- Non-linear story: Solve quests in multiple ways, then face the consequences of your decisions.
- Challenging combat: Distance, stealth, or melee. Choose your weapons and execute dozens of unique combos in battles that are as thrilling as they are merciless.
- Character development: Improve your skills, earn new perks, and forge and upgrade your equipment.
- Dynamic world: Your actions in Kingdom Come: Deliverance influence the reactions of the people around you. Fight, steal, seduce, threaten, persuade, or bribe. It’s all up to you.
- Historical accuracy: Meet real historical characters and experience the genuine look and feel of medieval Bohemia.
Kingdom Come: Deliverance is also being primed for a live action adaptation, though we don't know yet whether it will be a TV series or a feature film.
