Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 is one of the more successful titles from Embracer in recent memory. The game sold over a million copies in its first day, and, according to the publisher, is “fast approaching 2 million”.
Developer Warhorse Studios recently announced its post-launch plans for the game, including free updates such as horse racing and hardcore mode. There are also three planned expansions coming to the game over the next year. Lastly, official mod support was confirmed as coming in the near future.
In Insider Gaming’s official review, Grant Taylor-Hill called Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 a “masterpiece” that was tough to “find one major fault” with.
“Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 is beautiful in every aspect,” he wrote. “It’s deeply authentic and riddled with emotion and catharsis, and the way the story comes together is just perfection.”
