Kingdom Come: Deliverance II joined the PC Gaming Show: Most Wanted, revealing a brand-new Story Trailer. The trailer introduces some of the characters we’ll meet, including key historical figures, and hints at the tough choices Henry will face.

A recurring theme is revenge and the lengths Henry will go to achieve it. Thus we expect character growth,  but not always in a positive direction. And We’ll come to understand more about why Martin chose to retreat to Skalitz, with the strong phrase, “War is a nasty business.”
