A rumor surfaced last month, suggesting that Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 would be using the Denuvo anti-tamper tech. Thankfully, though, Warhorse Studios has debunked that rumor. So no, the game will not have Denuvo.
Bless their hearts!

Anti-cheat in single player games never made sense to me. Maybe if it includes microtransactions, then i guess i could see a use case, but like, if I want to cheat at your single player game, what use would there be in stopping me?

Denuvo is DRM not anti-cheat.

Oh.
Welp, my opinion still stands, even if this isn’t the right context for it.
Hmmm, that does seem weird that they wouldnt be putting in DRM. I guess I’m on board with it. They do make super solid games. I hope this showcases what can be achieved by games that do t include DRM at their core.

Denuvo hinders piracy as well, that is to say cracking and redistributing without the devs’ consent. That’s why it has been used in single player games before. Not that I believe it actually has a positive effect on sales, but that’s the rationale.

Great news

If KCD2 is competent on release (which I think is very likely, considering how great KCD1 was), it might be the first game in a long time that I pay full price for. As much as it is important to be vocal about devs screwing their customers, we also have to support those doing the opposite.

I agree I am a big supporter of voting with my wallet.
