Good news for fans who backed the original Kingdom Come: Deliverance (KCD) on Kickstarter. Warhorse Studios, the game’s developer, announced they will be giving away free copies of the upcoming sequel, Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 (KCD 2), to certain backers of the first game.
This decision is to thank the people who helped pay for KCD’s development in 2014 (as confirmed by PCGamesN). The specific supporter levels that qualify for a free KCD 2 copy haven’t been officially confirmed yet. But, based on information from a Reddit post and confirmation from Warhorse Studios, it’s likely that supporters who contributed at the “Duke” level ($200 or £125) or higher will get the sequel for free. Levels with higher contribution requirements like “King,” “Emperor,” and “Saint” would probably be included as well.
While a specific release date for KCD 2 is still pending, it’s expected to launch sometime in 2024. The game will continue the story of Henry of Skalitz and will feature a narrative system designed to integrate new players who haven’t experienced the first installment. This ensures that even those who weren’t part of the original Kickstarter campaign can enjoy the upcoming sequel.

For those who supported the first game at levels below the point where they get a free copy, or those who completely missed the Kickstarter campaign, KCD 2 will still be possible to buy from normal stores. This news shows how Warhorse Studios wants to keep their promise to the community that supported the first game. It’s also a good way to remember how crowdfunding websites like Kickstarter can be really helpful for both game makers and excited players.
