14 DAY TRIAL // Kingdom Come: Deliverance, one of the most intriguing Kickstarter projects in recent times, has just been delayed until summer of 2016, as developer Warhorse Studios wants more time to ensure that it can live up to what it's promised to backers.
Kickstarter and other crowdfunding websites have helped a lot of video game developers create their passion projects and while most get by with just the bare minimum of donations, and there are some that break records.
Such was the case with Kingdom Come: Deliverance, a medieval role-playing experience that's anchored more in history than fantasy, which went on to earn a couple of million dollars/euros on Kickstarter last year.
Kingdom Come: Deliverance is now coming in 2016
The game, coming from Warhorse Studios, was set to debut in December of this year but now the studio confirms that it won't make this intended launch, at least not if it wants to deliver a quality experience with all the promised goals.
"Although we make great progress every month, there is still a lot of work ahead of us," Warhorse's Jiri Rydl says, via Eurogamer. "We feel obliged to our backers to deliver the game with promised stretch goals in the best quality, thus we have decided to postpone the release date to summer 2016."
This doesn't mean that fans won't be able to get a taste of the game until then. The current technical alpha stage has just been updated with new features, such as a lock picking mini-game.
What's more, later this year the game will get an actual beta stage that should also be sold via Steam Early Access to those who've yet to pledge a sum of money towards the RPG. The main goal with the beta is to deliver the first quarter of the game in terms of content, similar to what another Kickstarter success story, Wasteland 2, did ahead of launch.
