Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 delayed to February 2025: "We aimed for the end of the year and almost made it"
Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 has been delayed out of 2024 and will now arrive on February 11, 2025.
Embracer Group just published a financial report for the months between April and June 2024, but within the report were comments from CEO Lars Wingefors about the publisher's immediate future. "The transformation of our PC/console business continues, and the pipeline of games looks solid," Wingefors says of the upcoming slate.
Speaking of said upcoming slate, Wingefors then reveals Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, which was on track to launch later this year, has now been delayed to February 11, 2025. "Our highly anticipated game Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, is now confirmed for global release on February 11, 2025," the CEO says, adding that Embracer expects to release games with a combined value of SEK 3.9 billion this year.

Stolz-Zwilling also reveals that a new trailer for Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 will premiere next week on Tuesday, August 20, at Gamescom Opening Night Live.
