After a crowdfunding campaign, launched in 2014, Czech-based Warhorse Studios signed a deal with Deep Silver in 2016 to publish console and PC versions of its first release, Kingdom Come: Deliverance. With this particularly promising medieval first-person role-playing game (RPG), set in an open-world environment, the focus is firmly on realism and player freedom. The game is slated for release on Xbox One, PC and PS4 on Feb 13.
Gamers step into role as Henry, a blacksmith's son whose family suffers a tragic fate after their village is attacked by mercenaries sent by Sigismond. But there are no legends or fantasies here – no wizard or orcs – since Sigismond is the half-brother of the King of Hungary. Set in the historical region of Bohemia, Kingdom Come: Deliverance is based on historical events that took place in the region in 1403, when King Wenceslas IV was taken prisoner by his half-brother Sigismond. In the midst of the chaos that ensues, Henry sets out on a journey to avenge his murdered family, building experience as he goes. He also ends up at the service of a Lord leading a resistance movement against Sigismund's invasion.
