Available on PC, PS4, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch the game is a RPG set in the Kingdom of Bohemia around the year 1400. It was lauded for its story and attention to historical detail and authenticity, though the launch version was also heavily affected by technical issues.
Nevertheless, the title managed to sell over two million copies in its first two weeks and peaked close to 100,000 concurrent players on Steam at the time. In June 2020, it cracked the five million sales milestone, which was corrected up to six million by February 2024.
Kingdom Come: Deliverance even led to scholarly debates amongst some historians at several European universities, who argued about the accuracy of the depictions of specific peoples and groups in the game. As is often the case, even a project as committed to realism as this one had to make some compromises and twist reality around a little bit to fit the story and mechanics of the game.
The game’s Switch port came out in 2024 and was created in cooperation with Saber Games, the company responsible for porting The Witcher 3 to the console.
