Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 players have taken the delay sportingly without any negative attitude toward the developer.

Whenever a super-hyped release encounters a delay, players don’t accept it easily. On the contrary, often the developers release games without giving them a final check to meet the scheduled date and avoid any delay. Fortunately, when the Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 delay news came, no one reacted negatively, and it seemed like players understood the thing properly. 

For example, multiple players have commented that it is way better to take some time rather than release incomplete games. 

Following the same note, some of them even expressed that releasing the game at the end of 2024 and releasing it in February 2025 wouldn’t make much difference. 

Fans are truly expecting the game to be worth the time and effort.

Well, February 2025 is indeed away, and after Gamescom 2024, players need to wait for the official launch to see the difference. 

For now, players can also check out another anticipated title, Phantom Blade Zero, which probably has a release date much further than anyone thought.
