Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 Promises Diverse Range of Ethnicities

The gaming community is abuzz with the announcement that Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 will expand its game world significantly and showcase a wider array of ethnicities. Set in a bustling city far larger than the rural settings of its predecessor, the sequel, developed by Warhorse Studios and published by Plaion, promises enhanced diversity and a richer experience for players.

The PR Manager of Warhorse Studios, Tobias Stolz-Zwilling, shed light on serious efforts to not repeat the criticisms faced by the first game regarding its lack of representation. Historians, universities, and external advisors of various ethnicities and beliefs are on board to ensure an authentic and believable medieval world. The game aims to reflect the historical presence of diverse peoples in Europe during the Middle Ages.

Launching in 2024 on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S, Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 seeks to marry historical accuracy with an inclusive narrative. While the extent of its success in this regard remains to be seen, fans are hopeful that the game will not only entertain but also educate on the less-discussed aspects of medieval European demographics.

Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 is scheduled for release in 2024 on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S.

Kingdom Come: Deliverance, the original game, is renowned for its historically accurate representation of 15th-century Bohemia. Developed by Czech studio Warhorse Studios and initially released in 2018, it was praised for its detailed open world and immersive RPG mechanics but also criticized for its portrayal of an ethnically homogeneous society. The game attempted to deliver a realistic simulation of medieval life, including combat, survival, and an intricate storyline based on historical events and figures of the time.
