Do You Need to Play Kingdom Come: Deliverance 1 Before 2?
It’s understood that players don’t need to play Kingdom: Come Deliverance to play and enjoy Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, with the sequel welcoming both newcomers and fans of the original. The beginning of Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 looks set to bring players up to speed with its story, which the developers have also described as geared towards new players. Additionally, Warhorse Studios also recently shared a story recap video on the official game YouTube channel, which could be a helpful refresher for veterans or a handy introduction for new players.
That said, some players might still prefer to check out Kingdom Come: Deliverance 1 before playing 2 to learn more about what happened in the original game firsthand and get a flavor of its medieval world. Like in the original, players step into the shoes of Henry of Skalitz as the main character in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 and overall the protagonist of the franchise. The sequel’s story also picks up essentially where the first game ended. However, the inclusion of a story recap in the game suggests players shouldn’t need to worry too much about whether they’ve played the original.
Where and When is Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 Set?
Like the original game, Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 takes place in the 15th century in medieval Bohemia, a Kingdom in Central Europe that belonged to the Holy Roman Empire. However, Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 looks set to offer players a larger open world to explore compared to the original, with two new areas being the city of Kuttenberg and the Bohemian Paradise. The game is also said to offer historically-accurate city design with Kuttenberg, described as the crown jewel of the Holy Roman Empire.
Is Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 Multiplayer?
Like its predecessor, Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 offers a single-player experience, so it does not currently support multiplayer or co-op gameplay.
Is There Romance in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2?
While not much information is available about romance in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, it seems likely that the game could include romance, with trailers showing Henry engaging in romantic encounters. Of course, the original game featured several romance options, with the character of Theresa often considered by fans as Henry’s main love interest. However, as it stands, there isn’t much information about any potential romance options in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, other than there could be more diverse choices.
