Summary
Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2is currently on track to set a new world record for the longest video game script of all time, a senior Warhorse Studios official has said. The said record is presently held byBaldur’s Gate 3.
According to Larian Studios' own estimates, the originalBaldur’s Gate 3English script has over two million words. To illustrate that figure from a different angle, the award-winning RPG has around 174 hours' worth of cutscenes—only a fraction of which can be seen in a single playthrough—and a triple-digit number of books and notes that can be found throughout its world.
Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 Script Has Around 2.2 Million Words
Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2is set to one-up that astonishing figure, according to Warhorse Studios Creative Director Daniel Vavra. Taking to Twitter on August 29, Vavra revealed that the upcoming RPG’s script has approximately 2.2 million words as of the developer’s latest count. This is the equivalent of 25 novels or 100 two-hour movie screenplays, the industry veteran said. TheKingdom Come: Deliverancesequel is hence presently on track to seize theGuinness World Record for the longest video game scriptever, which is held byBaldur’s Gate 3.
Warhorse Could Still End Up Trimming the KCD2 Script
Be that as it may, there is still a chance for the upcoming RPG to fall short of that goal, not least because last-minute content cuts are a fairly common occurrence in video game development. E.g., Larian itselfdecided to cut a sizable amount ofBaldur’s Gate 3contentin the final stretch of the project, partially because it wanted to meet deadlines and in part because the game was getting too big. Seeing howKingdom Come: Deliverance 2is still nearly half a year away from hitting the market, there is still plenty of time for parts of its current script to be left on the cutting room floor.
Regardless of whether it manages to one-up the size of theBaldur’s Gate 3script,Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2is guaranteed to be much bigger than its predecessor. As recently explained by Henry actor Tom McKay, the scale of the upcoming RPG will be what Warhorse intended for the first game, but wasn’t able to realize its vision due to a lack of resources.
Following its mid-August 2024 delay,Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2is now scheduled for release on July 07, 2025. The first-person RPG will be available on the PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC.
