Warhorse Studios and Deep Silver have confirmed that Kingdom Come: Deliverance II has sold over six million units since its launch in February. To celebrate, the Steam Summer Sale includes discounts of up to 80% on the franchise. This allows players to purchase the title at a more accessible price, confirming its popularity in the role-playing genre.
The CryEngine and the Technical Evolution of the Medieval Open World 🛡️
The development of Kingdom Come: Deliverance II relied on an enhanced version of the CryEngine, optimizing global illumination and the rendering of large open field expanses. The Warhorse team implemented a more precise physics system for armor and melee combat animations. The artificial intelligence of NPCs was also improved, reacting more coherently to the day-night cycle and player actions, reducing collision errors and loading times.
Six Million Souls Sold and an 80% Discount: The Sin of Waiting ⚔️
Six million copies in just a few months is a figure that would make any merchant from Sasau blush. But of course, if you waited for the summer sale to buy it, you're not a loyal follower: you're a sharp operator with strategic patience. While early buyers paid full price, you get the Complete Medieval Edition for the price of a jug of watered-down wine. The penance for not trusting Henry of Skalitz is an 80% discount.
