In February 2025, RPG fans will finally be able to dive into the long-awaited sequel, Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2. After all, the game is releasing on February 4! And now, Warhorse Studios and publisher Plaion have prepared not only a massive release, but also a clear plan for further development of the game. Just recently the official trailer of KCD 2 roadmap was released. It includes both free updates and three major additions that will be released throughout the year.
What’s new upon release?
The first thing worth noting is the free content. As early as Spring 2025, players will receive several new features such as:
- Barbers. Fans of customization will be able to change Henry’s appearance by experimenting with different hairstyles and beards. This system was available in the first part, but in the sequel it is promised to be significantly improved, adding more variations.
- Hardcore Mode. For those who want full immersion and challenge, the Hardcore mode returns, where there is no fast movement, no markers on the map, and the combat and economic conditions will be even tougher.
- Racing. New mechanics that will add an element of competition. Players will be able to participate in horse races, controlling the stamina of their horse and showing their riding skills.
These updates will freshen up the game experience and provide an opportunity to dive into new aspects of the KCD2 world.
Three add-ons are the key events of 2025
Paid DLC will begin to be released in the summer, and each will bring unique content.
- Brushes with Death (Summer 2025): the story of a mysterious artist with a dark past who must help Henry. Investigation-style quests and conflicts with rivals promise a fascinating plot.
- Legacy of the Forge (Fall 2025): a long-awaited addition dedicated to blacksmithing. Players will be able to develop their own forge, create weapons and armor, and restore the legendary Kuttenberg Forge.
- Mysterium Glacense (Winter 2025): a return to monastic life. Centering on an epidemic at Sedlec Monastery that requires investigation. Henry will have to penetrate the secrets of the brotherhood and make some tough decisions.
An Expansion Pass will be available for those who want the full set of content. This pass includes all three expansions, as well as an exclusive item – unique shields with seasonal symbols.
Additional Enhancements
With each new add-on, Warhorse Studios will also be releasing free updates aimed at improving gameplay and fixing flaws. Although specific details have yet to be revealed, the developers promise ongoing support for the project.
What to expect from the DLC?
The history of previous additions to the first installment, such as A Woman’s Lot and Band of Bastards, has shown that Warhorse knows how to create quality content. While not all of the original game’s DLC was equally well received, that should change in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2. This makes the anticipation for the game’s release even greater.
The sequel is already looking like one of the most anticipated releases of 2025, even though the game isn’t out yet! And the game’s post-release support promises a lot of new content, which, according to the creators, should be enough for a whole year. We should also expect free updates and paid add-ons, as well as the addition of new modes, mechanics and features like hardcore mode, horse racing or the ability to build a forge.
