One year of Kingdon Come: Deliverance is behind us and what a ride it’s been with YOU at our side! We are very proud to be part of this amazing community. There have been 2,000,000 copies and over 500,000 DLC's sold!!! Thank you to our amazing community for being there through all our ups and downs. Because of you, we have a very bright future ahead of us.


Kingdom Come: Deliverance

THQ Nordic has today acquired Warhorse Studios, the developers behind Kingdom Come: Deliverance. As well as the studio, the acquisition also includes 'all intellectual property rights.' The studio will be a subsidiary of Metro Exodus publisher Koch Media. 

The news comes exactly one year after the release of the medieval open-world RPG, Kingdom Come: Deliverance and has now sold over 2 million copies across all platforms. 

The game started off with a hugely successful Kickstarter campaign back in 2014, and while there were a number of bugs and glitches to iron out at launch, the overall realism and attention to detail did prompt a positive reception. You can read what Andy made of it in our review here.

Of course, THQ Nordic is no stranger to acquisitions; just last month they obtained the rights to the action-adventure game Outcast and last year saw them grab Carmageddon as well as a number of other games and studios

Here's what says Lars Wingefors, CEO of THQ Nordic AB, had to say about all of this. "Warhorse Studios is one of the leading independent studios in Europe and I am proud to welcome them to the THQ Nordic group. Kingdom Come: Deliverance, which has now sold over 2 million copies, has been a great success since the release exactly one year ago. I look forward to continuing to witness the owners run the studio and drive the creative process for many years."

We'd love to see what else is on THQ Nordic's shopping list.

Kingdom Come: Deliverance


Kingdom Come: Deliverance developer Warhorse Studios is the latest to be snapped up by publisher THQ Nordic, in a deal worth €33.2m (about 29m).

As part of the announcement, Warhorse noted it had now sold 2m copies of its medieval role-playing game.

Over the past year, THQ Nordic has continually made headlines for its acquisitions, including Saints Row and Dead Island owner Koch Media, Wreckfest studio Bugbear and Goat Sim developer Coffee Stain.

Hello KCD Friends,

The main category of the GameStar Gamestars Awards was for best PC Game of 2018. We are proud to announce that Kingdom Come: Deliverance has been chosen due to our amazing fans!

We want to thank you all very much for your support. It truly means a lot to us!

While last year’s Steam Awards were just a poll on the store, Valve are stepping up their game this year. Starting in a few minutes (at the time of writing) is the Steam Awards 2018 show, broadcasting live on the company’s own Steam TV site. While I doubt there’ll be anything as surprising as Epic’s coup at the Game Awards before the holidays, there’s still a chance for unexpected announcements in there, plus I’m curious just how fancy the show will be. Tune in here on Steam TV – the show starts soon. Below, a reminder of the categories and the nominees in the running.

Update: Show’s over, and honestly I’m a bit underwhelmed, even starting with low expectations. No surprises, no human faces, no pageantry. Barely any time to breathe, even. The show began immediately with the awards and hammered through them in under twenty minutes. At least each of the winning studios recorded a little award acceptance clip – that was nice. You can see a recording of the show on the Steam Awards page here.>

Hello Everyone,

This 60-minute "Fechtbuch: The Real Swordfighting behind Kingdom Come" Documentary is available now on Steam with English and Czech voice overs (more subtitles coming soon).

Check out the trailer:

The documentary not only charts our quest to create a unique experience, but it also presents medieval martial arts as a phenomenon and an important element of European history. We will show you arms and armor, present various schools of sword fighting, and together with the combat masters, contemplate the significance of knightly learning in the past and present, six hundred years later.

There are four 2-minute videos where you can see what happens when a true master swordsman takes a sword into his hand! Please feel free to share these videos with others.

Band of Bastards is out for release and is only $7.99 on Steam. Our third DLC will focus heavily on combat, which means that Henry must fight his way through this one and thankfully he will have a little help...

Sir Radzig appoints you to make the roads around Rattay safer by working together with his old acquaintance, the impoverished but wily Baron Kuno of Rychwald, and his infamous mercenary band. They set out to patrol the province and soon discover that Radzig's sworn enemies from long ago have come to settle old accounts. The rival bands engage in a tit-for-tat war that finally culminates in an inevitable showdown.

See a brief description and a picture of all the members of BoB here

  • Combat-oriented quest line with multiple endings

Hey everyone, this is a special announcement that will give you the background of every BoB member. We will reveal 3 more members of the crew, so be sure to check this post every day this week! And remember, Band of Bastards releases on February 5th.

But first, some quick tidbits about the soon-to-release DLC...

Features:
  • Combat-oriented quest line with multiple endings
  • New location “Kuno’s Camp”, filled with new characters with interesting stories
  • Camp side-activity “The Ring of Bacchus”
  • New items and a unique set of armor

Band of Bastards Members

Sir Kuno Baron Rychwald

Kuno is an impoverished noble and hardened mercenary who’s been doing the job perhaps a bit too long. He leads an infamous band of tough men, most of whom have had brushes with the law and might otherwise have ended their days on the gallows, which is indicative of Kuno’s pragmatism and knack for improvisation. Considering his history, he’s still quite a jovial character who accepts his fate with tenacity and makes the most of it.


Stephan Fletcher

He is the master bowman of the band, a cunning dealer and gambler who will chance his arm at anything if there’s a quick profit to be made. Despite his apparent congeniality and love of conversation, he’s rather reticent about his shady past and undoubtedly there’s more than one skeleton in his closet.


Jan & Petr Bearman

The Bearman Brothers are a pair of fun-loving blackguards, whose ideas of entertainment are often inconsiderate towards others, if not downright heartless. They drink like fish, love to roll dice and in general live life to the full. But try to come between them and their loot and you’ll soon discover their darker side.


The Stone

He hasn’t much to say for himself since the day he lost his tongue to the executioner. Kuno’s band recruited him in Brno. A stoic of sober temperament, he eschews drink, dice and the other vulgar pursuits of his comrades-in-arms, preferring his own lugubrious company. He takes only as much loot as his modest needs demand.

Dangler

The Dangler used to be a page to a chivalrous knight until his master was slain in a skirmish with a ruthless foe & he himself was left dangling at the end of a rope, until he was rescued by Kuno’s band.

Jakey

A mere stripling of a lad and as cheeky as they come, having grown up without the mollifying influence of a family. He has little love for authority of any kind but is more than amicable – to the point of irritating - towards anyone who doesn’t shove him around.
Kingdom Come: Deliverance - rick5292
Ready for a new adventure? The roads aren’t safe anymore and now a new threat has reared its ugly head. As Sir Radzig’s loyal servant, you, Henry, will have to deal with it. But you are not alone – for better or for worse, you will ride with an infamous band of mercenaries charged with bringing order to the domain. But what if the cure is worse than the disease?
