Starting tomorrow, you can enter the medieval age of the Holy Roman Empire in Kingdom Come: Deliverance. Ahead of its release, Warhorse Studios released a launch trailer, which showed more of what fans can expect from the medieval role-playing game. Fans will also need to download a massive update tomorrow before they enter the land of Bohemia.
Kingdom Come: Deliverance puts you in the shoes of Henry, the son of a blacksmith. His life in Bohemia was peaceful until the forces of King Sigismund arrived and burned the village to the ground. In order to take revenge for the attack, you’ll have to travel throughout Bohemia and meet other soldiers who are resistant to Sigismund’s invasion. In addition to the main story, there are multiple side quests and different combat styles to master as you make your way through hostile lands.
Before you start playing, you’ll need to download a hefty Day One patch. Members on the Resetera forums discovered that the launch day update is 23GB for the PlayStation 4 version. The PC version, which is available on Steam, is slightly smaller at 20GB. Depending on the available bandwidth in your home, you might need a few minutes or even hours to download the update.
The campaign stretch goals included the addition of a playable female character, motion capture for cutscenes, a tournament mode, and a canine companion. The game also supports Tobii eye tracking technology, which means that you can use your eyes to select a target, manipulate the in-game camera, or interact with objects by looking at them.
Even though the game comes out tomorrow, you can still take advantage of some pre-order rewards. The bundle includes treasure maps and a mythical armor from the Warhorse tribe. Kickstarter backers will automatically receive these rewards.
