No more Kickstarter dreaming of something to blow The Elder Scrolls series out of the water. What we see now is the reality of what a new studio on Kickstarter money - and plenty of private investment and now a co-publisher in Deep Silver - has managed to create. What was once so impressive in Kingdom Come: Deliverance is now par for the course.Ĭzech developer Warhorse has also had to face reality and assess what can and cannot be achieved if it wants to finish a game, so flashy features like mounted combat, for instance, are out, although horse-riding remains. Other role-playing games have been and gone in that time, such as The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, and the goalposts have moved. But being in the public eye for so long has taken its toll, and the sheen has dulled.
Ever since we saw its next-gen mud we followed it, through a Kickstarter campaign and beyond, and now nearly four years later it's finally nearly ready, due 13th February 2018 on PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.
Historical-not-fantastical medieval role-playing game Kingdom Come: Deliverance has long been in the headlines.
