We quite enjoyed Kingdom Come: Deliverance here at NAG. Well, Gareth did. When he wasn’t complaining about how difficult it is. He gave it a big, fat pile of eighty two points out of a hundred. If you enjoyed it as much as young Gareth did, you might be happy to know that developer Warhorse has a year of post-launch content lined up for the medieval RLSBLIHI. That’s a Real Life Simulator Because Life Is Hard, Innit?

I haven’t played it myself but I hear it’s grueling. Anyway, so the plans for the year ahead are as follows:
There’s a quadrilogy of paid DLC, staring shortly with From The Ashes, followed through the year with The Amorous Adventures of Bold Sir Hans Capon, Band of Bastards (which, incidentally, is the collective noun for a group of NAG staffers) and A Woman’s Lot.
But wait! There’s more!
Warhorse is also implementing something called a Hardcore Mode. Good lord. Hardcore mode in Skyrim means you’ve got to warm your mittens over an open fire once in a while. Can you imagine what it will entail with a game as uncompromising as Kingdom Come: Deliverance? I’m thinking perhaps a third-party peripheral where you stand inside an iron maiden while you play.
Kingdom Come is also getting a The Making Of Kingdom Come thing, a Tournament! thing (the exclamation mark is Warhorse’s, not mine), a Combat Academy, and Modding Support. And just when you thought you’d seen the end of the second best Henry simulator on the market.
Lots to look forward to.
