Kingdom Come: Deliverance Mini FAQ
Hello Everyone, my name is Rick and I am the US Community Manager for Warhorse Studios. I wanted to thank you for checking us out and being an awesome fan of our game! I have put together a mini FAQ for our Beta and a few other tidbits of info:
1) How do I participate in the Beta?
Visit
https://kingdomcomerpg.com and purchase your preferred edition of the game. The Beta is not an open beta.
2) I downloaded the beta but I'm having issues launching it. Who do I contact for help?
Please visit:
Overview - Kingdom Come: Deliverance - Redmine for Beta Support and any technical questions.
3) I purchased the digital version for the PC (to support Warhorse Studios and to play the early build) but I really wanted to play the game for my Xbox/PlayStation. How will I receive a copy of the console version?
Rest assured, you will be able to switch to the console of your choice, even if you have already purchased the PC version. More details to come later.
4) I have played the Beta and even though my PC meets the requirements for the Beta (and more), I can’t get the game to run at more than 30fps. Why so buggy?
Fair question(s). The Beta of Kingdom Come: Deliverance is more of a tech build and it gives the gamer an idea of what our game will be like – story, atmosphere, environment, combat, etc. The Beta was released in March of 2016 and has not received an update since then (see below).
We are completely devoted to the final build of our game. If we were to make improvements to the Beta (better frames, less buggy, etc.), we would have to put less focus on the final version of our game, which would result in an even longer delay. It is important to remember that the Beta does NOT represent the current status of our game.
What we can tell you is that our latest build runs much smoother than the Beta – FPS, colors, shading, far less bugs, etc. Also keep in mind that we have Dan Vavra (the Creative Director behind Mafia 1 & 2). Quality is of the utmost importance!
5) Where are all the updates?
We post a "Weekly Torch" on our forums, Reddit and Steam page EVERY Friday. You will find an interview with one member of Warhorse Studios regarding his or her work on Kingdom Come: Deliverance.
We post video updates to inform our fans of the latest news:

6) Will there be blood/gore or dismemberment?
We are considering some levels of gore (realistic, not over the top so-called goreporn). Blood is used in the Beta and it's a key feature in combat. Being that your opponent does not have a visible health bar, you will get signals letting you know that he is wounded/deeply hurt. Bleeding is clearly one of those signs. Keep in mind that it is nearly impossible to dismember a guy wearing a ring mail. It is also technically very challenging due to our cloth layers system.
7) Will there be classes in the game?
The simple answer is no. However, you will have the choice to play like a knight, thief, or a bard. Think of it like Skyrim: you gain experience based on what you do/how you play. You play like a thief for one quest and then you play like a knight and wipe everyone out for the next quest.
8) What is the length of the average playthrough of the game?
You could just do the main quests, skip everything else and finish the game in roughly 30 hours or so. However, just as Skyrim, The Witcher and other great RPG's, you could spend a countless amount of hours in the open-world of Bohemia!!!
9) Will there be mods?
Yes, but that is all I can say at this point :0)
10) Will there be multiplayer?
Not for our first game. We want to focus on making a fantastic single player experience for everyone. We will definitely be making a sequel, so who knows what the future may hold...
11) Will KCD be available on Steam the moment it releases?
Indeed it will.
12) Will the game release on all platforms (including PC) at the same time?
Indeed it will, on February 13th, 2018!
13) So how do the three Acts work? Will there be 3 separate games?
When we first started making KCD, we had planned on making 3 separate games. However, our first game got big pretty fast, so we decided to put the first 2 Acts together and then we plan on putting the 3rd Act into our sequel.
I will be updating this over time. You can follow me
