Kingdom Come: Deliverance Announced

Mafia designer, Warhorse Studios released a teaser trailer and a name for its upcoming RPG Kingdom Come: Deliverance.

Kingdom Come: Deliverance will be powered by the CryEngine 3 and will arrive from veterans of franchises like Arma, Crysis, Mafia and Operation Flashpoint. According to a post on the developer's official site, it will arrive with a focus on realism, not fantasy.

"Rooted within the Holy Roman Empire during the late Middle Ages, Kingdom Come: Deliverance promises a first-person seat to a harsh and brutal power struggle for the throne," the post reads. "As players traverse expansive, strikingly detailed locales, they'll grapple with a range of period-accurate fighting techniques, horseback combat, open-field sieges, and large-scale battles, all while developing relationships and a reputation that will inform the greater story. Kingdom Come: Deliverance promises no magic, high fantasy or mythical overtones — it draws its inspiration instead from historically authentic characters, themes, and warfare."

The indie Czech developer, founded in 2011 by Mafia and Mafia 2 designer Daniel Vávra, noted that the game is expected to arrive in 2015 for PC and unspecified next-gen consoles.
