The King is Watching News

Loyal rulers, the Kingdom thrives!

The Steam Next Fest has come and gone, and our demo was a roaring success, placing itself in the TOP 15 most played demos! (source: https://store.steampowered.com/sale/nextfestmostplayed_feb_2025) 👑

• Over 50 YEARS of combined gameplay! That’s right, you'd have spent half a century exploring, exploiting (and occasionally burning to the ground) your kingdom in every possible way.
  
• More than 8,000 of you have ruled for 10+ hours: a true sign of dedication (or a clear symptom of the “just one more run” royal fever).
  
• 97% positive reviews! Proof that our kingdom is thriving. We were ready to kidnap someone’s heir to secure a good score, but it seems it was not needed!
  
• 2,000 new followers on Steam have sworn loyalty, welcome! For those who haven’t followed yet, we assume you're just waiting for a more dramatic invitation. Follow now, before we send you a storm of messenger pigeons to convince you!

I can feel it poised to happen: Kingdom Come 2: Deliverance is gonna hit big on Steam tomorrow when it launches.
