Liege-Lord Embracer Pleased with Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2’s Continued Success

As a gamer, I must admit I was surprised to hear from Embracer Group again after some time. But with the staggering success of Kingdom Come: Deliverance II, it’s no wonder Warhorse Studios’ overlord is basking in the glory and wealth that comes with such a hit game. In just two weeks, the title has nearly reached the two million sales mark! Embracer Group, as the publisher, can’t help but see KC: DII’s success as a gentle nudge reminding them of their duty to create exceptional games.

Lars Wingefors, co-founder and CEO of Embracer, openly claimed responsibility for the triumph of Kingdom Come: Deliverance II, stating, “The victory of Kingdom Come: Deliverance II serves as a testament to our fundamental mission – delivering top-notch products. To achieve this, talented teams need the necessary means and time to actualize their dreams. When you have the right people, trust in them is advantageous for gamers, staff, and investors alike. I am confident that we will continue to thrive among industry leaders in our specialized areas in the future.

From a gamer’s standpoint, it’s disheartening to witness how game studios, often under the control of corporate giants, have to share their triumphs higher up the chain, seemingly as a form of protection and patronage that bears an uncanny resemblance to feudal obligations – a theme Kingdom Come delves into.

This scribe bestowed a highly exceptional “10” rating, not just on KC:D II and Baldur’s Gate 3 by Push Square, but many others shared this sentiment. The significant distinction between the two is that Larian Studios’ success with these games opens up virtually unlimited opportunities for their future projects. Conversely, Warhorse’s increased wealth will likely be utilized to strengthen Embracer’s other ventures, some of which may require reconsideration.

As a fan, I can’t help but feel elated to witness Embracer being duly recognized for their shrewd investment, and their obvious satisfaction with the stellar work done by Warhorse Studios on Kingdom Come: Deliverance II. Let me know your thoughts in the comments section below!
