Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 Achieves Major Success
Embracer Group recently announced impressive sales figures for its latest release, Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2. The medieval role-playing game (RPG) from Warhorse Studios has nearly sold two million copies since its launch on February 4, 2024. This announcement came during the company’s third-quarter earnings call for the fiscal year 2024-25. The game’s strong performance has exceeded expectations, marking a significant milestone for both the developer and the publisher, Deep Silver.
Record-Breaking Sales Figures
Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 has made a remarkable impact in the gaming community. Within just 24 hours of its release, the game sold over one million copies. This rapid success is a testament to the game’s quality and the anticipation built around it. Embracer Group’s CEO, Lars Wingefors, expressed excitement during the earnings call, stating that the game has โsignificantly outperformedโ initial expectations. As of now, the game is on track to reach nearly two million copies sold, showcasing its popularity among players.
One of the standout features of the game’s launch has been its performance on Steam. The game achieved a peak concurrent player count of 256,206, indicating a vibrant and engaged player base. This number is particularly impressive considering it only accounts for PC players. The total player count is likely much higher when including console users on Xbox and PlayStation platforms. Wingefors highlighted the game’s strong performance, emphasizing the dedication and hard work of Warhorse Studios and Deep Silver in bringing this title to life.
Future Prospects and Content Roadmap
Looking ahead, Embracer Group is optimistic about the future of Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2. Wingefors mentioned that the company expects the game to continue generating substantial revenue in the coming years. This optimism is bolstered by a robust roadmap that Warhorse Studios has planned for the game. Over the next 12 months, players can expect updates and new content that will enhance the gaming experience.
The commitment to ongoing development reflects Embracer’s strategy of providing high-quality products to the market. Wingefors noted that having the right teams with adequate resources and time is crucial for executing their visions. This approach not only benefits the developers but also enhances the experience for gamers and shareholders alike. The continuous evolution of the game will keep players engaged and invested in the Kingdom Come universe.
Continuing the Legacy of Kingdom Come
Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 continues the story of Henry of Skalitz, a blacksmith’s son caught in a larger political conflict in 15th century Bohemia. The game builds on the success of its predecessor, Kingdom Come: Deliverance, which has sold eight million copies since its launch in 2018. The sequel retains the open-world format and introduces players to a rich narrative filled with historical elements.
Players can expect intense first-person melee combat and deep role-playing systems that allow for immersive gameplay. The combination of a compelling story and engaging mechanics has resonated with fans, contributing to the game’s rapid sales. As the gaming community eagerly anticipates future updates, Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 stands as a significant achievement for Embracer Group and Warhorse Studios, solidifying its place in the RPG genre.
