According to updated product listings for the game at leading US retailers, the release of Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 may have been delayed until next year.
At the time of its release in April, publisher Plaion said the sequel to Warhorse Studios' action RPG would be coming to PC, PS5 and Xbox Series X/S later this year.
However, on Wednesday, it emerged that retailers such as Best Buy and Walmart had updated their product listings with a release date of February 11, 2025 (the former retailer has now changed its list again, stating that no release date has been announced yet).

VGC has contacted Plaion to check if the game is still scheduled to be released this year or if the release has been pushed back to 2025.
A new trailer for the game is set to premiere during Gamescom Opening Night Live next Tuesday.
“Kingdom Come: Deliverance II is a thrilling action RPG set in the chaos of a civil war in 15th century Bohemia,” says an official description of the title.
“You are Heinrich von Skalitz – an ordinary man doing extraordinary things – caught up in a gripping story of vengeance, betrayal and discovery as he embarks on an epic journey 'from the forge of a humble blacksmith to the court of kings' as he searches for meaning in this beautiful but brutal medieval world.
“From bustling city streets to lush forests, explore medieval Europe in an open world in an unforgettable adventure full of action, thrills and wonder.”
The sequel to 2018's Kingdom Come: Deliverance will take place on two maps, making it twice the size of the original.
The combat system has been revamped and equipped with new ranged weapons, including crossbows and “early gunpowder weapons.”
