Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 arrives on February 4, bringing players back to medieval Europe. The sequel features everything you’d expect from a medieval RPG with swords, maces, crossbows, and even the early form of guns.

Developed by Warhorse Studios, Kingdom Come Deliverance immediately carved a name for itself by putting historical accuracy and realism at the forefront. Set during real historical events, you play as Henry of Skalitz, a young blacksmith’s apprentice thrown into the world of knights and lords as he seeks revenge against those who murdered his parents.

We’re breaking down exactly when KCD2 is set and why you’ll be able to use guns.

Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 is set in 1403, in early 15th-century Bohemia (the Czech Republic in the modern-day).

As revealed by IGN showing off the first 45 minutes of the game, the prologue mission is set in 1403, and then we pick up with Henry “several weeks earlier” where the story begins.

During this period, Bohemia is embroiled in a brutal war after King Wenceslas IV is kidnapped by his brother, Sigismund of Hungary. Sigismund declared himself king and invaded Bohemia with an army of Cumans, pillaging and burning Henry’s hometown at the beginning of the first game.
