Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 Has a Thousand Possible Spin-Offs Waiting in the Wings

BBG News

The primary appeal of the “Kingdom Come: Deliverance” series lies in its authentic portrayal of medieval Europe, specifically the region of Bohemia, which is seldom explored in video games. Notably, it features fictional representations of actual historical figures. The realistic presentation of Bohemia and its characters during this time period has garnered attention and has become a significant selling point for both games in the series.

Warhorse can seize this chance to expand upon this framework extensively. Although the constraint of establishing a game within historically-based Europe might seem limiting, it opens up an underutilized niche in the gaming world. While historical fiction is widely appreciated across novels, films, and other games, it’s scarcely represented in RPGs, which generally lean towards fantasy or science fiction genres. With Europe boasting a rich tapestry of cultures spanning over 2000 years, Warhorse has a vast playground to develop a series brimming with enduring, impactful narratives that immerse players into historical Europe.

Kingdom Come: Deliverance Has the Opportunity to Fill a Gap

Standing Apart From Other Historical Fiction Games

The Assassin’s Creed series achieved great popularity by portraying various time periods, however, it doesn’t mirror reality exactly due to its incorporation of supernatural elements within the narrative and game mechanics. In contrast, Kingdom Come: Deliverance offers a more realistic representation, as it focuses on historical events without introducing science fiction or fantasy aspects that compromise realism. There are other games set in medieval times in various genres, but they may not necessarily be RPGs; instead, they could be strategy or action games.

The game “Kingdom Come: Deliverance” could have room for sequels set across historical Europe, avoiding supernatural elements altogether. Instead, it could offer a genuine portrayal of diverse areas throughout European history, with each title focusing on a specific region during a particular time period. This approach would enable each game to establish its unique character and identity, while also granting the series the ability to traverse various time periods and geographical regions.

Exploring Different Time Periods

Exploring settings beyond medieval Europe could be beneficial for Kingdom Come: Deliverance. The world is richly diverse, and its various cultures, religions, and methods of warfare have intriguing differences. Representing locales such as medieval Ireland, Renaissance England, or medieval Italy would align with the same fundamental gameplay structure as Kingdom Come: Deliverance, but each setting would be distinct enough to give each game a unique identity.

What Kingdom Come: Deliverance Could Look Like in the Future

Europe’s Long History Gives Warhorse Limitless Options

During European history, distinct eras extended over many centuries and often intersected with one another. The dawn of medieval Italy bore little resemblance to its twilight, just as suggesting that Europe remained unchanged throughout the entire medieval era is akin to claiming it hasn’t transformed in four centuries. Factors such as technology, religion, politics, and philosophy significantly shape culture, and even within the same timeframe, Europe underwent remarkable changes.

This implies that Warhorse Studios might unveil two distinct video games, both based in medieval Europe, yet visually dissimilar. In essence, this opens up almost endless possibilities for captivating, revolutionary Role-Playing Games (RPGs) that offer an authentic, historically accurate atmosphere.

In most Role-Playing Game (RPG) series, you’ll find that historical accuracy and grounded settings are not common. Games like “Assassin’s Creed” and “Ghost of Tsushima,” while popular for their historical backdrops, fall under the action-adventure category. The RPG genre is primarily dominated by fantasy and science fiction titles. However, there’s a significant demand for RPG games that are historically accurate and free from fantastical elements. With its upcoming release, “Kingdom Come: Deliverance” could potentially become the RPG franchise to meet this unique need in the market.
