It seems players are struggling to use Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2’s ranged firearms, but developer Warhorse Studios reveals they’re clunky by design.
While speaking with the Czech website Seznam Zprávy (via GamesRadar), the creative director of Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, Daniel Vávra, confirmed that the game made money on its first day of release. If the title continues to sell as well as it has, it may quickly surpass the success of its predecessor.

Vávra revealed that the developers actually had a running bet regarding the sales of the popular action-RPG, which he won.
Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 Makes a Profit on Day One
While Vávra seemed largely happy with the game’s success in the interview, he has courted a bit of controversy when responding to negative reviews of Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 on social media. In a recent post on Twitter, he singled out a review by GamesHub, blaming it for bringing down the title’s initial score of 90 on Metacritic. As of writing, the RPG has a rating of 88 among critics on the popular site. Some fans were eager to join the creative director in clapping back at unfavorable reviews, while others acknowledged that such things are subjective, and a single title will never appeal to all audiences.
From the very start, Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 seemed destined for success, as it topped Steam’s sales charts before it even released. Warhorse Studios has also announced that fans can expect to see DLC along with free post-launch content as the game continues to mature. With so much on the horizon for the medieval RPG, many fans are looking forward to what the developers do next.
