"Released back in 2018, the original Kingdom Come: Deliverance was a first-person action RPG that stood out from the rest specifically because of its hardline approach to realism and authenticity, although the game's interpretation of those concepts garnered a fair share of controversy as well."
"High fantasy and medieval settings have been one of the most popular approaches to role-playing video games, and it makes sense that for a class of games as dependent on immersion as RPGs, players would want to explore worlds that are either fantastical and impossible or so rooted in the past as to be totally unrecognizable to modern audiences."
"While being interviewed by Czech website CzechCrunch recently, the CEO of game development company Warhorse Studios Martin Frývalský revealed that Vávra was in the process of developing a film based on the games. Frývalský also mentioned that a draft of the film already existed, and claimed that negotiations were currently underway."
Kingdom Come: Deliverance stands out among medieval fantasy RPGs for its commitment to historical realism and authenticity rather than pure fantasy escapism. The original 2018 game and its 2019 sequel gained acclaim for their granular approach to recreating a historically grounded experience set in early 15th century Bohemia. This dedication to historical fidelity, while generating some controversy, distinguished the franchise from other fantasy RPGs. Now, creative director Daniel Vávra is adapting the game into a film, with a draft already completed and negotiations underway. This move reflects Hollywood's enduring interest in historical spectacle and presents an opportunity for the franchise to differentiate itself within the crowded landscape of historical entertainment.
