After just a day on the market, the highly anticipated sequel to 2018’s Kingdom Come: Deliverance has sold 1 million copies. Warhorse Studios’ Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 was released to immediate and widespread critical acclaim and, obviously, mounds of sales — impressive at any time but particularly in a competitive month that’ll see Civilization 7, Assassin’s Creed Shadows, Avowed, Monster Hunter Wilds, and Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii released before it comes to an end.
The massive sales number so close to other hugely popular releases suggests players are either dedicated fans who planned on buying Deliverance 2 no matter when it came out, or that players intend to buy several games at the $60 price point in 2025. Regardless, the consensus among game reviewers (besides Polygon, unfortunately, as we didn’t get a chance to play the game before launch) is that the game kicks ass, especially for folks already invested in the franchise. The combat gets lots of praise, along with the faithful and direct continuation of the story from the first game — and the game’s signature realism and wry humor stays in this one, too.
