KINGDOM COME: DELIVERANCE II Gets NEW Trailer at GAMESCOM

Having recently pushed the release date of Kingdom Come: Deliverance II to February 11th, 2025, Warhorse Studios would promise to have a presence at this year's Gamescom. Not being ones to lie, the Prague based developers would indeed make themselves known at the event releasing several video packages, including a brand new trailer.

The most noticeable aspect of the various trailers and videos that Warhorse Studios have released so far, is how impressive the graphics are in comparison to its predecessor. This is no different in this latest trailer, with the clip teasing how the war against the Holy Roman Emperor Sigismund comes to fruition. It also gives us a glimpse at the gameplay, showcasing some gruesome and bloody combat.

The game will once again follow Henry, a humble blacksmith from Skalitz, as he fights through 15th century Bohemia. Following in line with its predecessor, the game will give players the option to approach missions and tasks in various different manners, resulting in unique interactions with NPCs.

Kingdom Come: Deliverance II is set to arrive on Xbox Series X/S, PlayStation 5 and PC on February 11th, 2025.

DRAGON AGE: THE VEILGUARD FINALLY Has a Release Date

It's been ten long years since the release of Dragon Age: Inquisition, but finally BioWare are set to release a new entry in the beloved series. Having been in a developmental spiral due to the developers' other projects, going through several changes along the way, the project has definitely been a long time coming. We thankfully don't have much longer to wait, with the studio dropping a release trailer for Dragon Age: The Veilguard, announcing an October 31st launch date.

The near three minute video shows fans exactly what to expect from this upcoming release, including stunning locations, griffins and of course plenty of dragons. Mixing both gameplay and cinematics, the trailer the Veilguard pitted against a group of corrupt Elf gods in what looks like a complete revamp of the franchise. 

Having burst onto the scene back with Dragon Age: Origins back in 2009, the fantasy series has become a massive hit for BioWare and EA, with the role-playing mechanics making for an immersive experience. Life hasn't been the kindest to the series over the years, with the following sequels being inconsistent at best. This new game looks to rebuild the concept from the ground up, focusing on real-time action combat. Whether this will prove to be the creative spark the series has desperately needed or not is up for debate, but so far things look very promising.

Dragon Age: The Veilguard is set to arrive on Xbox Series X/S, PlayStation 5 and PC on October 31st.

Now it's never nice when a game gets delayed or pushed back from its intended release date, but more often or not it's for the betterment of the product. This extra time should allow developers, Warhorse Studios, to give some extra polish to the mediaeval action role-playing game, being able to deliver a product that they are satisfied with.

As was the case in its predecessor, the game will follow a blacksmith from Skalitz named Henry. It will see players once again fight in 15th century Bohemia, going up against Holy Roman Emperor Sigismund and his army. Much like the original Kingdom Come: Deliverance, the game will continue to allow players the ability to approach the various tasks and missions in a diverse manner.
