Warhorse Studios’ latest game, Kingdom Come: Deliverance II, has received widespread critical acclaim with an impressive 88 metascore across PC, PS5, and Xbox. The game’s success is reminiscent of the Baldur’s Gate series, showing that players still crave traditional, story-driven RPGs.
Since its launch on February 4, the game’s concurrent player count has been increasing daily, reaching new peaks with a 46% surge since launch day. The latest numbers show a peak of 233,000 concurrent players on February 8, with sales exceeding one million copies in just 24 hours.
Developer Warhorse Studios sees this positive reception as vindication for their work, citing that critic scores now better match the series’ fan sentiment. The game’s Steam score is an impressive 90% “Very Positive,” indicating a near-unanimous approval from the gaming community.
As the year progresses, it remains to be seen if Kingdom Come: Deliverance II will top other notable releases, such as GTA 6, but for now, its critical and commercial success is undeniable.
