Kingdom Come: Deliverance II Surpasses 5 Million Sales

Warhorse Studios’ critically acclaimed action role-playing game, Kingdom Come: Deliverance II, has surpassed 5 million copies sold within its first year of release. The milestone, announced today, February 12, 2026, underscores the game’s strong performance and continued popularity among RPG enthusiasts.

The announcement came as part of Embracer Group’s Interim Report for Q3, highlighting the game’s success since its launch on February 4, 2025, for PlayStation 5, Windows (via Steam, Epic, and GOG), and Xbox Series X|S. Just months ago, the game had already reached 4 million copies sold, demonstrating a significant acceleration in sales.

“we are happy to announce that Kingdom Come: Deliverance II has surpassed 5 million sold copies within its first year of release,” Embracer Group stated. Warhorse Studios echoed this sentiment, expressing pride in the achievement and thanking both its development team and the game’s community for their support. “Bohemia now welcomes 5 million players, and we are incredibly proud to see #KCD2 reach this milestone. This achievement belongs to every member of Warhorse Studios and our amazing community,” the studio posted on social media.

Kingdom Come: Deliverance II builds upon the foundation laid by the original 2018 release, offering a more expansive and immersive experience. The sequel features a game world that is twice the size of its predecessor, moving from a single connected world to two larger, freely explorable areas. This expanded scope allows for greater player agency and a more dynamic open-world experience.

Gameplay in Kingdom Come: Deliverance II emphasizes realistic interactions and consequences. Missions and objectives can be approached in multiple ways, with non-player characters (NPCs) and communities reacting to the player’s choices. These reactions, in turn, influence the player’s daily life and character development, creating a more believable and responsive game world. The game expands upon the dialogue system of the first title, adding skills like Appearance, Coercion, and Dominate to the existing Oratory, Charisma, and Intimidation skills.

The game also introduces new combat options, including crossbows and early forms of firearms. Notably, crossbows can now be fired while mounted, adding a new dimension to combat encounters. This focus on historical accuracy and immersive gameplay has been a key differentiator for the Kingdom Come series.

The original Kingdom Come: Deliverance, released in 2018, garnered significant attention for its commitment to historical realism and its departure from traditional fantasy RPG tropes. Set in 15th-century Bohemia (modern-day Czech Republic), the game offered a grounded and challenging experience, focusing on the life of Henry, a blacksmith’s son caught up in a civil war. The sequel continues this tradition, recreating the city of Kutná Hora (Kuttenberg) with meticulous detail.

The success of Kingdom Come: Deliverance II is particularly noteworthy in the competitive RPG landscape. The game’s strong sales figures demonstrate a continued demand for immersive, historically-grounded RPGs that prioritize player agency and realistic simulation. The game received “generally favorable reviews” from critics, further contributing to its commercial success.

While the game’s initial release was met with positive reception, Warhorse Studios continues to support Kingdom Come: Deliverance II with updates and improvements. The studio’s commitment to its community and its dedication to delivering a high-quality gaming experience have undoubtedly played a role in the game’s impressive sales performance. The milestone of 5 million copies sold within the first year is a testament to the game’s quality and the enduring appeal of the Kingdom Come franchise.
