Warhorse Studios has announced that Kingdom Come: Deliverance has been officially delayed to 2017. Warhorse Studios originally planned to release the game on the PC this Summer, and on consoles at a later date. However, it appears that the game will come on all platforms, simultaneously, sometime in 2017.
As Warhorse Studios claimed:
“We at Warhorse Studios decided to postpone the final release date for Kingdom Come: Deliverance to achieve the quality we and our players expect. We want Kingdom Come: Deliverance to be an exceptional RPG and that requires exceptional treatment and polishing. Since the successful Kickstarter campaign, we have listened intently to the opinions of our fans and with the new language packs, we hope to get even more feedback that will help us deliver the best possible gaming experience. We believe that the result will be a great collective project and will be well worth the wait.”
Back in March, Warhorse Studios claimed that the PC version of Kingdom Come: Deliverance has been delayed in order to be released alongside the console versions.
Thankfully, this new delay is about the quality of the product itself, or at least that’s what Warhorse Studios claims.
Here is hoping that it will be worth the delay!

Still, the PC platform won him over consoles. That was mainly due to 3DFX and its iconic dedicated 3D accelerator graphics card, Voodoo 2.

I don’t believe a word of it, they want it to come out at the same time
this is a delay that is additional to the original console deadline. Why would they delay the pc version and the console version if the console release date was earlier??
To fix the console version as well which takes longer, so they have to optimise and fix both XB1 and PS4.
Who remember the witcher 3 delay story just to make the game run on consoles ?
Not me. It was downgraded. Even if the delay was for consoles, are you disappointed with the final result of the witcher 3? It is quite easily one of the greatest RPG’s of all time and clearly the delay did not affect the PC version negatively because the downgrade happened before the delay.
Downgraded and delayed because of consoles. 🙂
It’s done at this point, not the game I mean but the part where the delay beforehand and the delay now just shows that compromises are being made for the console versions.
What? How does a delay indicate compromises? It indicates additional production time. You literally have zero evidence to say this delay is due solely for the console editions. GTA V for PC and Next Gen was delayed. Was that an indication of “compromise”? Because the PC version turned out to be phenomenal.
The end result provides the evidence and eventual side by side screens before release are also going to be telling as well as the fact that the deal they made with the pub was the delay for PC to launch alongside consoles which indicates that consoles have to be adhered to first before anything else.
PC version of GTA V was “future proofed” and doesn’t look massively night and day, maybe in 5 more years when everything can be maxed out on a single card, I’ll meanwhile be playing other games that look just as good on my GPU that doesn’t require me to wait 5 more years to finally be able to use the “exclusive” settings.
I see you are now being that guy who makes it his mission in life to comment towards anyone who says the word “downgrade” or shows initial disappointment. Are you by any chance a fanboy of the game already or part of the team?, because this sort of “I’ll reply to everyone” mentality displays one of the two behavior patterns. I would also easily assume your claim of not being any of the two and making up some reason as to why your logic is sound vs everyone else in this section, or known as the 3rd behavior.
So you are saying that GTA V looked so good that you cant even run it on your GPU? Yet if the game is downgraded, you would say it is due to consoles. I guess there is no pleasing people like you. What is your GPU btw? I have a GTX 780 and can run it fine (1080p 60 fps) with all PC exclusive features like PCSS and TXAA. I was commenting towards the people on this thread because I like correcting ignorance, not because it’s my “life mission”. Furthermore, I didn’t reply to people because they said “downgrade” but because they were all using incorrect examples of “delays” that were done for consoles. By the way I am the one who admitted that Witcher 3 was downgraded, nobody said anything about downgrade besides me, they were speaking of delays (learn to read maybe?). And I was saying that this delay would more likely indeed be for the sake of the quality of the product rather than parity with consoles as this delay is an additional delay after the original statement they issued regarding matching the release dates. If the studio was comfortable with saying that they wanted to match release dates with the console version in March, why would they try to hide that fact now and say it is for the sake of quality, unless they truly meant it is for the sake of quality. Being a backer of the game, I totally agree with their statement as the game lacks a lot of polish right now and a delay would serve it well.
Dude wall of text, I’m not going to be able to decipher what it is you are trying to convey with a text block like that.
Alrighty, I edited it for readability.
Many thanks.
Because we were totally meant to play the game 6 years from now instead of today.
Not trying to insult you btw but more on the talk of playing the game as it was meant to be now vs later on down the line.
GTA V was “delayed” because Rockstar wanted to milk the Old-Gen releases for as much as possible.
It wasn’t so much a case of “delay” as much as a case of “a PC version? Oh…. Yeah, we’re not working on a PC version right now. Sorry.”
Remember that?
Oh come on , we already know the PC version was completed and mostly paid for with PC gamer money only for a “publisher” to jump in at the last minute at no financial risk to themselves offer to publish it on console but only IF the PC version was delayed. We know this for a fact so not only are lots of PC gamers going to ignore this game but I doubt there will be any goodwill for future “developers” who cannot afford to develop their game so beg gamers to take the risk as PC gamers now see they are a stepping stone to console market. You are a fool if you believe otherwise or more likely connected to the development team somehow.
Probably for the new xbone and ps4.5
meh the project must be a mess have you not learned by now?
Maybe if the creator spend more time working on the game than arguing with “libtards” on twitter this would not have happened, just saying.
