Take a trip back to Warhorse Studios’ gritty realization of 15th century Europe, and don’t pay a dime for the experience until the end of the weekend. Kingdom Come: Deliverance is free to download and play on Steam (opens in new tab) from now until Sunday, June 21.
If you like what you play, you can also take advantage of a pair of limited-time sales. The standard edition has been dealt a 50% discount at $15, while the Deliverance Collection, which includes the base game and all current DLC, is available for $36, a 65% discount.
When Kingdom Come: Deliverance launched in 2018, it was known as much for its beautiful medieval towns and environments, deliberate pace, and punishing learning curve as its game-breaking bugs. I remember gladly forgiving its quirks for its dedication to historically-accurate architecture, weapons, vegetation, and geopolitical strife from a swath of towns in 15th century Bohemia. Then again, I’m a total sucker for medieval stuff.
