Kingdom Come: Deliverance is a 2018 action role-playing video game developed by Warhorse Studios and published by Deep Silver. The game is set in the medieval Kingdom of Bohemia, an Imperial State of the Holy Roman Empire, and takes place during a war in Bohemia in 1403, during the time of King Wenceslaus IV. On the orders of invading Hungarian king Sigismund, half-brother of Wenceslaus, mercenaries raid the mining village of Skalitz. One of the survivors of the massacre is Henry, the son of a blacksmith. Destitute and vengeful, Henry joins the service of Lord Radzig Kobyla, who leads a resistance movement against Sigismund. As Henry pursues justice, he becomes involved in an effort to restore Bohemia's rightful king, Wenceslaus, to the throne. The game features branching quest lines in an open world environment, and focuses on period-accurate content.
Kingdom Come: Deliverance was released for PlayStation 4, Windows, and Xbox One on 13 February 2018, and on 15 March 2024 for Nintendo Switch. The game received generally positive reviews for PC, and mixed reviews for consoles; critics praised the story and characters, but were divided over its attention to detail and focus on realism, and criticized its technical bugs and save system. Multiple commentators, historians, and scholars highlighted the game's lack of racial diversity, while criticizing the game's portrayal of some ethnic groups. It had sold over 8 million units by November 2024. A sequel, Kingdom Come: Deliverance II, was released in February 2025.
