Kingdom Come: Deliverance - Warhorse Studios Interview
Feb. 23, 2016Kingdom Come: Deliverance – Warhorse Studios Interview
Back in January, Fextralife community member dn1nd wrote apreview articleabout the upcoming historical RPGKingdom Come: Deliverance. In the preview, we took at a look at this game rooted in realism and the historical setting of 15th century Bohemia. We recently had the pleasure to sit down with Tobias Stolz-Zwilling, PR Manager at developer Warhorse Studios and gained some insights into the development of this very unique game.
FL: Can you tell us about the history of Warhorse Studios?
FL: Wow, that is pretty fantastic!
FL: That’s a great box quote right there.
FL: So you mentioned both the setting and realism as being a risk. What is it about that time period and realism that was such a strong motivating factor in creating this game despite the risks?
FL: Yeah some of this history is new to me.
FL: How hard is it to maintain that historical accuracy?
FL: If you’ve been drudging up the past have you made any discoveries or things that have been forgotten?
FL: Not only a reconstruction but a reclamation of history.
FL: So within these creative gaps, are there instances where you have to compromise and do something unrealistic?
FL: What about healing and wounds? How is that handled?
FL: Ok, so it’s still rooted in history.
FL: So how do you balance that unchanging history with fun?
FL: Are there plans for a sequel?
FL: Will this come to consoles?
FL: Is there anything you want the average gamer and RPG fan to know about Kingdom Come?
It was a wonderful interview and those are some interesting insights into the process of game development and the new crowdfunded model that is causing a revolution in indie gaming.

Editor at Fextralife. I look for the substantial in gaming and I try to connect video games to the emotions and stories they elicit. I love all things culture and history and have an odd fondness for the planet Jupiter. I think my dogs are pretty awesome too.
It was a fascinating and enjoyable interview. It’s pretty cool to see a story like this unfold, this kind of experience probably wasn’t possible in the video game landscape 10 years ago. It’s really a blessing for indie devs who want to tell their stories.
This really is cool, glad they decided to take a risk and make the game they wanted. Czech history sounds kinda cool.
Great Answers By War Horse. Thank you for letting me be a part of that.
Great interview! This game looks awesome. I’m looking forward to the PS4 release, and the game looks like it will be worth the wait.
