Kingdom Come Deliverance 2's Delay Is Actually Better For The Franchise
was intended to be released in late 2024 after a six-year wait since the original. Fans of the franchise were left watching Henry of Skalitz ride off into the distance with his companion Capon, his story of revenge left incomplete. This cliffhanger may have been controversial at the time, but it set up the almost certain follow-up game to wrap up Henry’s journey. The end of 2024 was supposed to begin the next act.
On August 16, Warhorse Studios announced that their anticipated sequel would be delayed until February 15, 2025.

Rushing a game has a proven record of numerous unpolished problems.
