Jesus Christ be praised, Henry has come to see us!
Full reveal:
Points from the video:
• KCD2 is being made by a 250 person dev team, compared to KCD's 10 person team, which did grow to over 100 by development's end.
• Map is about twice the size of KCD. It might be two maps which add up to a total area twice that of the first game, the video isn't super clear about that.
• Features the first major medieval city environment in the series (Kuttenberg), in which a significant portion of the game will take place. KCD only featured small villages and towns.
• Crossbows and early firearms finally make their long awaited appearance. Many fans bemoaned their absence from KCD.
• Combat system seems to have been refined, though it's a bit hard to tell without seeing a proper gameplay demo.
I think it looks great - gorgeous visuals, a sumptuous score, a much better NPC interaction system, and the scope is so much bigger this time. The devs' vision for the original game will be properly realized in this one, it sounds like.
