Warhorse Studios talks Kingdom Come: Deliverance - A first-person medieval RPG

THE 15th century saw many historic events take place, such as the arrival of Christopher Columbus in America and the destruction of the Christian kingdoms of Nubia - but one game developer is using this specific century to tell a different tale in Kingdom Come: Deliverance.

Warhorse Studios, based in Prague, have created a first-person, role-playing game set in the medieval Kingdom of Bohemia, where players will explore a vast open-world setting and complete quests - restoring order across the land and defeating the king's evil brother.

"A pretty epic one I would say," says Tobias Stolz-Zwilling, PR Manager of Warhorse Studios, "With Kingdom Come: Deliverance the player will get hit by the medieval age at full tilt. It's a realistic and historical game that allows you to tell your story within a real historical story that happened in the heart of Europe.

"The game will take place in Bohemia 1403, a region rich in culture and silver which is currently torn apart by warfare, corruption and discord. You won't change history but you will shape the character and the behaviour of Henry, a young blacksmith you'll incarnate and play your role in this bloody conflict.

"Your home town gets destroyed by the invading force and by (un-)lucky accident you'll get torn into the civil war. You will have many choices to make and things to do, but beware, every action calls a proper reaction so think twice if pulling your sword is always the right decision."

Similar to the likes of Skyrim, the player will take control of a player from a first-person perspective, and Warhorse Studios insist that this is the right choice for their game and for the enjoyment of the player.

"Immersion is extremely important for us," said Tobias, "We want the player to actually believe that he is really standing in a Bohemian forest or that he tastes blood in his mouth every time he gets hit in the face. That's why we have chosen to be first-person and single player only. With our high graphic level we actually try to photo realistically recreate Bohemia from the year 1403." [...]
