Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 - Everything You NEED to Know!

[@ESOdanny]

A few more details to add: - The Kuttenberg map will be a little bit bigger than the KCD 1 map, the Trosky castle map will be a little smaller than the kcd1 map. So in all both maps make it double the size of the first game. - Theirs only one loading screen between the two maps. Beyond that they have no loading screens! - Warhorse confirmed that Kuttenberg is under siege by Sigismund during the gameplay - We were right, blacksmithing is getting added to the game.

I remember when I found KCD on sale on steam 2 years ago with no knowledge of it . The game blew me away . I absolutely love KCD . It’s truly one of a kind , there’s no bother game that does what it does . It is kind of a niche game for a certain audience but I didn’t know anything about Bohemia /Czech Republic prior to kcd . I love medieval settings , but I only really knew like Englands , Frances and Germanys history for that time period . I learned so much playing kcd and it’s such a fascinating time period . The codex was such an amazing touch they added . Everything from the voice acting , the combat , environments, castles , weather , quest , the original music , writing , the dlc, the rpg mechanics and everything else is just so well done . This game was clearly made by very passionate people who put their hearts and souls into . Bg3 is the only game I’ve bought on release In about the last decade , but I will absolutely get KCD2 because the people at warhorse seem fantastic and really listen to their fanbase . I’ve seen devs and even the voice actor /capture model for Capon on the KCD subreddit many times . You can tell they really love what they created and love engaging with the player base

Yes but they also switched some other events around. So some battles that took place in 1402 will take place in 1403. Markwart died in 1402 but in the game he is still alive and will probably die in 1403. So they made some changes to the timeline when they wrote the story for the 1sr and 2nd game. So I think there will be battles in the surrounding areas of Kuttenberg that historically happened in 1402.

​@@raskolnikov6443perhaps it'll be a situation similar to the first game where the real historical event happens. KCD 1 = Skalitz destruction KCD 2 = Sacking of Kuttenberg.

The first game released my senior year of high school. As a medievalist, I preordered it, and when it finally came out, it became my all time most favorite and beloved video game. Cumulatively, I have put probably a thousand hours at least into it between my various playthroughs. Yesterday when I saw the trailer and announcement, I was actually tearing up. The first game got me through some very difficult times in my life, especially when I deployed overseas with the Army. So many of us have kept it close to our hearts, and we have been waiting so patiently for the next chapter of Henry's story. This is the only game I have actually looked forward to since 2018. Fans can now rest assured and find peace, knowing that our beloved little-known game is getting the attention it deserves. I look forward to spending countless hours in the sequel, hopefully it includes early Hussites and the Rosenberg forces involved. Only time will tell though.

[@jessehines4044]

Gun powder was in use in Europe at least since 1297 when king Edward the 3rd used it against the Scott's which would of been 106 years before Henry's time. It's most likely that Europeans and Asians invented it independently of each other. Asians probably had it longer but never developed it into an effective weapon, besides for some really primitive rockets that didn't have any use against fortifications because of how weak they were. In contrast, Europeans had used it for hand cannons by 1326, and shortly after that, into mounted cannons that were powerful enough to be used against strong fortifications.

[@thisismyname1701]

Ive read that china had entire sieges with bamboo runs stuffed with rocks and gun powder and tbey lined up along walls n stuff and would blast the archers from under

[@jessehines4044]

@thisismyname1701 It took a while for metal to get up to the needed quality to be used as an "effective" material for cannon barrels. Go try and knock down a castle with a bamboo cannon and see how that turns out. Also, most of these claims about cannons used in medieval China are not based on archeological findings but rather a few cave drawings (southeastern China I believe). Obviously, that's insufficient evidence. You could also make the claim that the vikings had fire spears because there is one referenced in the sagas about a spear that spits fire, and maybe there was - or maybe not. We don't know because one has never been found.

[@thisismyname1701]

@@jessehines4044 interesting thanks for the input

[@jessehines4044]

​@thisismyname1701 You're welcome. One last point I'd like to make is that china's gunpowder formula used less saltpeter because it was artifical (harder to produce) than the European formula did. This means that thr chinese version has less ballistic yield and wasn't powerful enough to hurl heavy objects at high speeds. However, it was appropriate for the making of fireworks, rockets, and incendiary weapons which explains how gun powder in China was used in only fireworks for at least a century after its invention.

[@notribadsvault]

Gunpowder traveled to Europe from Asia, and a lot of effective uses for gunpowder were pioneered by Turkic peoples who lived in between. Many firearm technologies and tactics were developed independently of each other but it’s use definitely traveled from east to west, and actually quite fast all things considered.

[@peregrination3643]

I rewatched KCD a few days ago (good timing--as I fished for the letsplay, I discovered there would be a major announcement). Trosky Castle is a three days ride mentioned in-game. But Kuttenberg is one day (a third this distance), which confused me map-wise. So it makes sense to have those two regions separate. I also won't be surprised if Hans is the only non-villain to recur in the game. The ending of the first game made out the next adventure to be Hans and Henry getting a taste for the outer world and not having the seniors guiding them. What I can't wait to find out though is what kind of trouble those two get into that gets them sucked into politics and war more than simply delivering a message.

[@orbit1894]

The dude we released at the end of the game will probably be back for revenge maybe an ambush after the ride with Hans, he will capture Henry and torture him, causing him to lose his stats, get chubby over few years of imprisonment with Hans. My guess is Hans will get ransomed earlier than Henry, then he will probably re-train Henry and thats when we will start the game with Henry being shit at everything again due to his past injuries and a few years of not picking up a sword.

[@narratorka]

One thing I can't agree on is about how being a bad person qets like unnoticed in KC1. It's not true. In KC1 if you're stealing, or killing in the villages, it hurts your rep significantly, causing people to dislike you or even guards to search you (or attack you in order to put you in the jail). I count very much for it to stay that way in the KC2, as it adds a lot of realism to the gameplay. I'm very curious about this branding thing though. Could it be a part of the main play or just something extra we don't really want? xD I also hope that they will still keep the bow in the game regardless of the crossbow, because it is a real fun to feel, how difficult it is to use it, and how it becomes practically impossible if you use a bow which is too advanced for you.

With the crime mechanics being expanded; one thing I hope for are clothing options that can be used for it. I.e. cowls and hoods. If you are wearing a cowl and hood and are detected committing a crime, you have to ability to flee without Henry being positively identified as his face and head are concealed especially if repercussions are greater than just 10 days in a cell. Always bothered me in KCD1 Henry cannot put his hoods up nor put a bit of cloth over his face to avoid being identified if caught and needs to get away.

[@Bassalicious]

Yup, or that they can identify you when wearing a full face helm. Or know you stole something when nobody was looking. In reality 99% of crime wasn't caught. That's a big reason why punishment for crime was as severe as it was back then, because it was so unlikely to get caught unless you you got caught and apprehended in the act or robbed your neighbour who finds out or something like that.

Also, as someone who has fought in armour, the stamina damage that's incurred rather than health when armour takes the hit? That's real. You might not get hurt through your harness, but you'll be rocked around and it takes energy (ie: stamina) to recover from that. Also, the crossbow shown there has the lugs that serve as the pivot point for a goat's foot lever. So one could brace the butt end against their hip or armour, and use the goat's foot to span the bow from horseback. Mind you, that means it won't be one of those windlass-cranked monsters.

Clearly he'll be starting at least with basic skills in KCD2 as it wouldn't make sense for him to just... forget everything he learned. Like I imagine you'll start out with "basic" combat skills, literacy, etc but need to develop those skills further. I'd prefer him to carry over all the skills, but then scale up the difficulty and incorporate new abilities so that Henry can be stronger/better than ever. That would come with a TON of balance issues tho bc Henry could get crazy strong. Still like to maintain all the basic skills or every skill he got through a quest at least

They straight up tell you that the siege of Kuttenberg already happened and now Sigismund has turned his attention to Sir Radzig and the other lords of the 1st game.

From what I've seen and heard, there seems to often be a consensus in various circles that gunpowder was brought over from the East through trade and Mongol invasion both - but endless European wars saw that technology being developed at a far greater pace than in China, who'd often go through centuries at a time of (relative) peace, without a need to seriously innovate to get a leg up over their neighbors. It wasn't a necessity that came up until European gunboats were blowing through junkers and European infantry was slaughtering Qing dynasty soldiers in one-sided fights. And well, you all probably know the history of the Boxer Rebellion and Opium Wars.

I was there watching when you first started talking about this experimental immersive medieval sim RPG. From the time you started making videos about it, to the time it actually released felt like ages lol.

[@chanceharper4676]

I can't remember being this excited for a sequel, Spiderman 2 and GoW Ragnarok were close contenders but this game looks fantastic. First game is incredible, I love history and it's beautiful

[@SirRockXIII]

The blacksmithing.. is actually going to make me so happy.

[@Redroomjjgfd]

Let’s pray it’s a fun addition! I wanted to smith armor and weapons so bad in the first one, haha.

[@txgoldrush]

Seems like events will be portrayed backwards historically. The key figure that attacked Skallitz in first game and killed Henry's parents was actually killed in Kuttenburg a year before in real history. So the sequel seems to cover events that historically occurred before the first game.

[@lilBugger35]

KCD is my favorite game of all time. I'm so happy about this.

[@dominicknigra]

You helped me discover KCD1 all those years ago and now here we are again. I look forward to your coverage!

[@MrBikboi]

The first was my all time favourite single player game until bg3. However it is a close fucking second. I can not wait for 2, I couldn't be happier to give money to a studio like warhorse. Absolute beauties.

[@kratosgow09]

Consider my preorder secured!

[@UnderdogFr0g]

anything mentioned about base building ? or perhaps buying properties ? great video by the way !!

[@ansur1783]

Maybe the crossbows that you can reload on horseback are the light ones, also henry does seem to use a mechanism to reload one during the presentation, he was using int in a forest behind someone. Either way, i will bet that you can reload only the small ones on horseback and the big ones used for siege will require you to stand your ground and use both legs and arms. The round metal nose that some crossbows had was to put your feet on it and the pull with your arms or some assistant equipment, the guys at Warhorse can totally do that, i'm fairly sure.

[@originalcycle9784]

just started KCD 1 this week, MAN why am i so late to the party. can’t wait for the sequel

[@Lunzium]

I wa hyped for the first game. I'm even more hyped for this. Can't wait to see what they can do with this game now that they have a much larger studio as well as more resources.

[@SpecialOrder935]

It’s come full circle I found out about this game whilst watching ESO KCD BETA and now here we all are people it’s coming !!

[@stevenhensley4340]

The first game was my favorite game ever! I cannot wait for the second.

[@B.Sav955]

I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS GAME SINCE I FINISHED KCD 1... LOVE your content ESO!

[@Tetarkall]

The first game was fantastic, it really gave a sense of the grind it would take to go from a peasant to a medieval knight! If you haven’t played the first game you should! Very very excited to play the sequel!

[@patriot639]

I loved the combat so much. It is really satisfying when both henry and the player "get good."

[@DinkyMax]

OMG!! I just can't wait! That music in your other video gave me shivers and brought me back to medieval Bohemia!!

[@dalis994]

A great video, very informative. Looking forward to the release. BTW I loved the original combat system. Frustrating at first, very rewarding later. Let's not forget the soundtrack, it was fabulous in the KCD 1. Looking forward to what they have to offer in number 2.

[@JoaoVictor-rg5ix]

So, here's a list of my expectations. (I might regret this, but, stay with me) 1° Make Henry at least competent in this game. I don't want to spend the first 20 hours of this game having to learn swordplay and stealth again. Please give us more wiggle room from the start! 2° If we will become a Knight in this game, like full on knighthood, let us be able to recruit our own squire or something. I felt that we needed more companions in the first game, so I think that would be fire. 3° The focus is on the story, right? So give us more ways to actually finish this story. Different endings maybe? Ending slides for the minor plots along the way? I want less linearity in this tale, more modular elements, or something. If I think of something else I will add it in the comments below.

[@HuntressGamer]

The best game ever .Even better than RDR2. So excited, did I see a finisher movement??? I loved the struggle on the combat and is do rewarding when you finally get the hang of it. My only complaint was the clunky horse controls. KCD is a gem and am sure they will deliver a more polished masterpiece this time around!! ❤

[@mrfishsticks266]

Better than rdr2? Calm down a minute

[@DarkMSG]

@@mrfishsticks266 KCD is better for me then RDR2 but KCD2 might be even better in general

[@HuntressGamer]

@@mrfishsticks266 Yes,even better. My calm opinion and I did 4 RDR2 playthroughs

[@caden_not_jayden1922]

rdr2:good graphics , fun gameplay and insane details. kcd:Fun combat, historical accurcy

[@bones1969-yes]

I'm excited to be honest. I've only just purchased the first one for under £4 with dlc on Xbox. Enjoying the start. So will get next one too

[@TheEffence]

Words can't describe how incredibly excited I am for this game. When I saw the announcement on twitter I just knew it's gonna be KCD2 but my expectation was that it's not gonna come out earlier than mid 2025 so seeing 2024 made my jaw drop. Time to replay the first game at least twice until then I guess. I just can't wait..

[@Jako-o2x]

I like how this video is just you going over what the devs went over

[@takiibii8599]

Only one NPC remembered me in KCD during my whole play-through and it was the alchemy shop guard.

[@chanceharper4676]

The crime branding WILL affect your playthrough but it isn't permanent, eventually the brand will "heal" and therefore disappear. They mentioned this in newer video or interview, can't remember which

[@kahel5820]

I actually was in Kuttenberg and in Sasau river area(my familys friends live in Kuttenberg) so I'm excited to see it in the game and also return there this year.

[@DabConnoisseur]

This has HUGE potential to be my game of the year. I’m going to enjoy the role playing aspect of mining my own ore and crafting it into an awesome sword. Hopefully we can also craft our own armor, and create different styles. (crude, noble, etc.)

[@chanceharper4676]

I'm currently playing the first one right now and I'm reminded by how beautiful it is and how incredible the story is. Best forests I've ever seen and I love the open world. The story is fantastic. I do wish I could turn the food and drinking off and that bows had reticles but this is an incredible game

[@Kraiklyn01]

So psyched for this game! Can’t wait. I think my favourite part was just faffing around with all the different layers and combinations of clothing and armour. KCD is the only game that’s ever got this absolutely bang on.

[@BillyMadison3rdGrade]

I played the first game on hardcore mode. Super difficult at first, but by the middle of it I coated my swords with poison and poked my way through the ENTIRE bandit camp you are supposed to just "escape from" at night. It kinda broke the game at first, but eventually it let me go back there with the army and there were still some people there, and I was like WHATTTT

[@Specter_1125]

Crossbows could NOT easily penetrate plate armor at all. Even the extremely heavy windlass crossbows would only pierce thin plates of even average quality armor (like on the limbs) a few centimeters with a square on hit. Most shots would just glance off or not penetrate at all. Crossbows were popular because they were easy to train people to use, and 80%+ soldiers didn’t have full plate harness. If you loose enough bolts at fully armored men-at-arms or knights, you can also get lucky enough to hit a less heavily armored area. It might not take them out the fight, but it could still hinder them.

[@aks19880]

I remember watching the trailer of AC2 in 2008 and thinking to myself "This game is going to be a classic". I am getting the same feeling here after watching this trailer.

[@saikat7457]

This is awesome news Danny🎉 Watched your kingdom Come deliverance walkthroughs and will be waiting for this too❤❤

[@ndld4955]

I hope theirs fishing 🎣 Can be a relaxing side activity 😊 Would love ot if they had lancing but they probably won't have that😢

[@nazguthir2565]

Damn Henry looks so different and I also wonder about the romance with the lady who saved him in the beginning I can’t remember her name

[@wolfpac93901]

Theresa is the girl who saved him and I hope you can continue that in the second game it would be nice to see Henry and Theresa possibly become nobles or at least at a higher status than they started in Skalitz

[@GeneCavalcante]

In 2020 I got the gane after seeing your videos about it. Now I'm playing it again with the DLCs before the second game

[@chaddbag7828]

Can't wait for the playthrough of this, really enjoyed the playthrough for the first KCD.

[@eskimon212]

I've been waiting for kcd2 for ages, I own first one on 2 consoles, hopefully I get to upgrade by the time Kingdom come deliverance II COMES OUT!!!
