Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 has more than two and a half times the peak concurrent player count the original game ever achieved, an impressive feat for any direct sequel.
Sequels are a tricky business. On the one hand, they allow developers to reuse assets and get a game out of the door faster, and if the original game was a success, it’s comforting for investors to know there’s already a fan base. On the other hand, if a sequel relies on you having played its predecessor, it can alienate some and lead to fewer sales. Well, it seems you’re all much more interested in dense RPGs now than you were in 2018.
Kingdom Come: Deliverance had a peak concurrent player count of 96,069 when it was released in February 2018 – a very respectable number. But the sequel got a staggering 256,206 over the weekend. As noted by one redditor, this means the game is in Steam’s top 50 chart for all-time peak concurrents. There’s already a roadmap and post-launch plans, so all of you enjoying it now have more..

It’s not just in the more tangible elements – the stories, the hero, or the music – it’s also in the way it was filmed, the minutiae of choreography, and the tone. Those ineffable qualities are what have made this series so beloved, and so lasting. And that’s a very difficult thing to recreate in a video game.
It presented Indiana Jones and the Great Circle developer MachineGames with an extra challenge – not only did the team have to create a fantastic, modern-feeling game, but one that simultaneously captures the magic that swirls around the movies. It comes down to a question of balance: making a compelling game that still looks, feels, acts, and sounds like the movies it’s drawing inspiration from.
In speaking to developers across MachineGames, it’s fascinating to hear how that was ..
