After a few years of waiting,Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2dropped, and it seems to be doing pretty well for itself. In the midst of thousands of players stepping back into the boots of Henry, developer Warhorse Studios has been getting praise from one of the industry’s biggest names.
In a recent post on X, CD Projekt Red posted to itsWitcheraccount to wish congratulations on the release ofKingdom Come: Deliverance 2. The heartfelt message also wishes for your blade to “always be sharp,” and is accompanied by a friendly image of Geralt of Rivia embracing young Henry in what I can only describe as something the cool kids may refer to as some sort of “bromance.” Correct me if I’m wrong, obviously.
Ahoj@WarhorseStudios!Congratulations on the release of Kingdom Come: Deliverance II! May your blade always be sharp, cup never run dry, and the path stay safe!And remember, if you ever find yourself facing monsters – we’ll happily lend you a silver sword ⚔️Audentes Fortuna…pic.twitter.com/jOegANBUDZ
Warhorse itself posted a response under this post, thanking CDPR for the kudos, adding that the team was “raising a glass to you now.”

Interpret it as some sort of corporate publicity thing if you will, but it is quite nice to see some of gaming’s biggest studios giving props when new titles come out. It probably helps thatThe WitcherandKingdom Comeseries both have similar vibes and aesthetics. Watch out for a mod that plops Geralt right into the heart of Bohemia [citation needed].
As mentioned above,Deliverance 2has been doing pretty well within the last 24 hours. According to recent data fromSteamDB– which tracks all things related to Steam – the game peaked at nearly 160,000 players since yesterday. At the time of writing, about 130,000 Henries (plural) are adventuring.
By the way, if it’s been a while since you played the original or you’re completely new to the series (as I am), the studio very handily put out ofStory Recap videorecently. That should bring you up to speed before you go diving straight intoKingdom Come: Deliverance 2.
