Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 PS5 PlayStation

A script-measuring conflict is currently raging between two European RPG super powers, and we weren't expecting an update to our earlier, essential reporting; Warhorse Studios, the Czech team behind the imminent Kingdom Come: Deliverance II, has thrown down the gauntlet, announcing the game's script is, in fact, half a million words longer than initially suggested. It's looking like the Belgium-based Larian Studios' wonderful Baldur's Gate 3 is about to lose its crown (and Guinness World Record).

On X, Warhorse fanned the flames (thanks, GamesRadar+), noting that KC: DII's script is actually over 2.2 million words long, requiring protagonist Henry of Skallitz actor Tom McKay to spend more than 500 hours recording VO. Larian Studios' publishing director, Michael Douse, gallantly welcomed the competition, writing: "I hope they do [beat the Guinness record]! Cannot wait for KC: DII."

RPG fans won't have much longer to wait to get their hands on Warhorse's massive game, which arrives on PS5 on 4th February and, by all accounts, looks set to join BG3 as a landmark title. Let us know what you think in the comments section below.
