Kingdom Come: Deliverance is a first-person, open-world realistic RPG set in medieval Europe

A First-Person, Open World, Realistic RPG That Will Take You To The Medieval Europe In A Time Of Upheaval And Strife. A humble, young blacksmith loses everything to war. As he tries to fulfill the dying wish of his father, fate drags him into the thick of a conspiracy to save a kidnapped king and stop a bloody conflict. You will wander the world, fighting as a knight, lurking in the shadows as a rogue, or using the bard’s charm to persuade people to your cause. You will dive deep into a sweeping, epic, nonlinear story from Daniel Vávra, an award-winning designer from the Mafia series. Our unique, first-person combat system lets you wield sword or bow in both one-on-one skirmishes and large-scale battles. All of this – and more – brought to life beautifully with next-gen visuals delivered via CryEngine.
