Creator of Kingdom Come: Deliverance, Daniel Vavra, has stated that the reason the game came to be was because he was “pissed” that there were no historical video games.
For Vavra, this was a clear gap in the market, and one he was all too willing to fill. “My idea, that there’s a hole in the market, was true [though]. And when people saw it, a lot of them immediately knew that this was something that works.”, he explained.
With the richly deserved follow-up,Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, scheduled for release early next year, Vavra and Warhorse intend to build upon the historical gameplay pioneered by the first game, noting that “the sequel is just a continuation of this idea, and we are making it better, and more complex, and more polished”.
