Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 is a game that a lot of PC gamers have been looking forward to. However, it appears that the game may use the Denuvo anti-tamper tech.
The Steam curator group, Denuvo Games, shared the following image. According to it, KCD2 will use Denuvo and it will not come out on GOG.
For what it’s worth, the official Steam store page does not list Denuvo. At least for now. However, Deep Silver has used Denuvo in some of its PC releases. For example, Dead Island 2 did use Denuvo and ran great on PC when it came out. Thus, I won’t be surprised if the game ends up using it.
Again, nothing is set in stone as of yet. However, it seems very likely that this may happen. Or at least that’s the vibes I get right now. It’s also a bit fishy to not add it on Steam. After all, the game is already available for pre-order. So, I kind of wonder when the publisher will list it on Steam. Perhaps when we’ll get the official PC specs? Who knows.
Now although Warhorse has not yet shared the game’s PC requirements, Daniel Vavra claimed that the NVIDIA RTX 4080 Super can run Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 with 60fps at 4K/Very High Settings. So, this should give us a small idea of how the game runs on a high-end PC system.
We also know that it will support both NVIDIA DLSS and AMD FSR at launch. Moreover, the game will be powered by CRYENGINE. However, there is no word on whether or not there will be support for Ray Tracing.
Deep Silver will release KCD2 in February 2025. Back in August 2024, the team also shared a 25-minute gameplay trailer for it. So, I suggest checking it out in case you haven’t watched it.
Stay tuned for more!

This is kinda disappointing. I don't mind the denuvo so much but I was really looking forward to owning this on GOG. Im sure itll be good but It'll still be good later when it releases on GOG on a discount. Feb still has other stuff to look forward too in the meantime.
This is the way!
Shocker, truly.

FCK that, if anything they gonna lose in sales
Nope, you're the loud minority. No one cares about your teenage jihad on denuvo.
Bullshit, I’m not about to pay for worst performance, why would anyone do that
Some people don't have standards, they gladly take a good meal that's been pissed on.. all while paying the chef well. Kind of amusing the bad chefs would not exist if it wasnt for the money the customers paid… ie pay for trash and you get even more trash – Amusing some like more of that!
They will for sure happily buy it and don't even blink twice about Denuvo being in it.. I just don't understand how they can justify DRM and a draconian one at that a when the highest selling games of all times don't even have Denuvo for Any DRM at all.
Investors, market sales my guess, but i really don’t know…
Yeah you’re right, it’s so contra-intuitive, to spend a lot of money on a high end computer just to waist money and performance because of piracy, anyway…
Haha, I still haven't played the first one. Bought it on GOG long time ago, to support. Now I really wish I didn't. Denuvo is like a country that a larger country keeps sending money to in order to keep it afloat and all this country does is wages war/genocide on other countries. Without the money of the larger country, Denuvo wouldn't exist anymore. It's basically a parasite/leech. It cannot survive without a host.
Wow sounds like Finland then
The mastermind behind Linux was actually born there, even though he is of Swedish origin.
Without that coincedence, I would be jobless right now and Microsoft would dominate the PC handheld market with their inferior OS.
Proof that destiny is real…
What?!
Ofc Destiny is real! Are you nuts?!
The game doesn't worth 30 seconds of anyone's time, tho.
this like isrehell
SO THEY DELAYED THE GAME JUST TO SHOVE DENUVO IN IT ?? PU$$IES
Simplicity, I couldn't have said it better. Thank you 🍻
Nothing new as a lot of recent game take pre-orders and don't list the DRM to the day the game is released. It's a bait and switch tactic that Steam seems content to allow.
Cry, baby, cry.
Even if it runs better with the cancer, I'm not renting a game for full price.
Not today, not tomorrow, not in my entire life.
Standard recent years' bait and switch, sadly.
KCD2 will be far more mainstream than KCD1 ever was. Some of the sh*t will be forced by the publisher, especially when it knows it can push and bend to almost arbitrary limits, knowing the game will be a hit either way.
But the game is not popular, the first one was quite hard for the average player, so maybe they keep it cool.
Let us hope.

i I hope they use denuvo
Eh I still have first one installed and play it now and then but it's so buggy and for horseback they needed TPP option bc it can give me motion sickness which I never get normally. Things probably 150gb install since ultimate ed I have of first one is like 80gb. Really resource heavy game too. Easy pass anyways.
I was planning on buying it on GOG, since I got 1 on there as well.
Lets see how this works out for you Warhorse.
I will wait.
Oh no!
goes back to playing 90s games, already forgetting what game the article was about
