Gameplay

Like the first game, Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 is a first-person action RPG set in an open world. Throughout it, you can customize Henry’s appearance, skills, and equipment as you travel the land and engage in unique activities like blacksmithing, and alchemy.

In a blog, the devs shared more details about how players will be able to shape and evolve Henry, with a big emphasis on the skills you decide to learn, the discoveries you make, and how you interact with the world.

Discussing the RPG mechanics, the post states that: “Kingdom Come: Deliverance II is a proudly traditional RPG that’s driven, first and foremost, by its underlying systems, rather than heavily scripted encounters.

In other words, this is a world that remembers your actions and the choices you make and pushes back against you accordingly. Each inhabitant of this sprawling world is a real character, with their own motivations, emotions and experiences of 15th-century life. Present yourself to them bloodied and bruised from battle and they’ll judge you accordingly. Choose to kill an ally of theirs and they’ll shun you.”

Combat will play a big part and be a visceral experience as you can either attack enemies on foot, on horseback, or take a stealthy approach. A variety of weapons and combat styles will be available to experiment with from blunt melee options to ranged weapons.

There will also be an emphasis on player choice with Henry’s actions impacting his destiny and how the world reacts to him.
