Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 Approaches Groundbreaking Sales Milestone
The sequel, Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, is close to hitting 2 million sales, prompting its parent company to refocus on quality game production.
Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 is on the brink of reaching two million sales across all platforms, just shy of two weeks after it famously hit one million on launch day.
This success serves as a reminder to its parent company, Embracer Group, that marketing high-quality games is critical. In the words of Lars Wingefors, the CEO of Embracer Group, “The success of Kingdom Come: Deliverance II is a reminder of our core—that we need to bring great products to the market.”
He added, “High-quality teams need the resources and time to execute their visions. When you have the right teams, this trust benefits everyone, including gamers, employees, and shareholders. I am convinced that we will remain among the industry leaders in our core business verticals in the future.”
This perspective highlights the fundamental understanding that good games, with adequate development time and investment, tend to perform well in the market. Many teams have experienced undue challenges as companies have pushed them beyond their expertise, often leading to failure.
The Embracer Group itself faced significant layoffs even as they expanded amidst a broader crisis in the gaming industry. However, this new wave of recognition signifies hope as they pivot back to producing engaging gaming experiences. Congratulations to Warhorse Studios for this commendable achievement!
