Fellow gamers, grab your ale horns because we've got some exciting news from the medieval gaming realm! PC Gamer just dropped their Game of the Year 2025 pick, and Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 has claimed the throne. After chatting with Warhorse Studios co-founder Martin Klima, it's clear why this hardcore RPG is making waves and why savvy deal hunters should keep their eyes peeled for price drops.
What makes KCD2 special enough to snag GOTY honors? According to Klima, it's all about respecting the player's intelligence. While other games are serving up quick thrills and instant gratification (or as Klima puts it, popcorn entertainment), Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 delivers a full course medieval feast. This isn't your typical hand-holding RPG where quest markers guide you everywhere. Instead, you're getting a genuine experience that trusts you to figure things out, make tough choices, and live with the consequences.
For us price-conscious gamers, a GOTY award usually means two things. First, expect the game to hold its value longer than your average release, so those hoping for quick discounts might need to exercise some patience. Second, this recognition often leads to special editions and bundles down the road. We're already tracking pre-order prices across multiple retailers, and with this award buzz, we might see some competitive pricing as stores try to capitalize on the hype.
If you've been on the fence about Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, this award might be your sign to start wishlisting it across platforms. The original game eventually saw some fantastic deals, dropping to under twenty bucks during major sales. While we don't expect KCD2 to hit those lows anytime soon, keeping it on your radar means you'll catch the best price when it inevitably drops. Trust us, your medieval adventure can wait a few months if it means saving some gold coins for other games in your backlog.
