i avoid hype but as a massive fan of the original kcd and the honesty of this reveal, im hyped! wont be pre-ordering though, never pre-order its bad for the industry and consumers.
I’ve been meaning to finish the first one. Is there combat in that game? I just remember picking flowers for hours.
I mean, if you’re a successful thief there is no combat. :)
So the gameplay style can be quite diverse, now my interest is piqued.
Yep, though the combat is very hard to get used to early and it may feel to hard - only to feel too easy once you master it.
Looks pretty cool. Hope it lives up to the original and is successful for the studio.
OH SNAP!
Meh, I’d rather not support a gamergater that believes PoC didn’t exist in medieval Europe.
I doubt that the creator didn’t think poc existed in mediaeval Europe rather he didn’t think there were many poc in rural mediaeval Europe, but its a video game so a poc trader would of gone along along way for the studio to avoid back lash.
Looks like I misremembered the quote, but he literally said, “There were no black people in medieval Bohemia. Period.” So not all of Europe, but at best, that is not something that can be said that definitively, and more likely is just plain wrong. There were people from Africa and the the middle east in Europe at the time and even church officials from Ethiopia.
In a game that is supposed to be about historical accuracy, it just kinda fails and even leans into nationalism over accuracy. That mixed with sexism (in game and real life from Vávra) and homophobia (which seems to be only in game) means a no go from me.

I started playing the original game ages ago but got distracted by life, and finally picked it up again a couple of months ago. The game is honestly very janky and unpolished, much more than I remember it being the first time I was playing, but it’s still so much fun. It was refreshing to see in their announcement video that they acknowledge that the first game didn’t live up to their hopes, and that with a bigger budget and more experience, the sequel should get them closer to their dream.
Some thoughts:
