Developer Warhorse announced that beta access has begun tonight for Kingdom Come Deliverance. They say that the beta includes part of the game's main story, multiple quests, a taste of the new combat systems, weapons, and the "first large-scale battle."
You can get access to the beta by pre-ordering the game. The digital edition starts at $49.99 (USD).
Introduction to an epic story
The game is set in 15th century Central Europe, the Kingdom of Bohemia is on the verge of civil war. You play as Henry, the son of blacksmith. Your hometown was raided and your family was murdered. Driven by a lust for vengeance you go out on an epic journey. The local lord entrusts you with identifying the culprits behind the massacres plaguing the region. You will need to use all your skills of persuasion and intimidation to extract valuable information from bandits but you are not the only one who is after the raiders. A mysterious killer is slaughtering all witnesses in the most vicious way. In order to bring end to the bloodshed you must act fast.
First taste of battle
The Beta version includes the game's first taste of battle. The outcome of the battle depends entirely on your choice of actions. You will have the opportunity to plan the strategy of the attack. You will be able to disguise yourself as one of the enemy in order to infiltrate their camp and discover their weaknesses but using alchemy and preparing poisons are also valid option. Also sneaking around and performing a few stealth takedowns on the sentries might be very helpful when staging a surprise attack.
New available weaponry and combos
You will experience sword fighting in a brand new way which matches the reality of medieval combat. The Beta includes new combat techniques, stances, moves and combos that can be mastered fighting with enemies in skirmishes, large battles or honed in the combat arena. Learn how to slash or stab your opponent, block his attack, master parrying, perform ripostes and counter ripostes. Try new weaponry such as short swords, maces, axes, and shields.
Exploration
Visit new settlements and vast forests with a dynamic weather system. Dive into the exploration of a huge area set in medieval south Bohemia. You can enter villages and interact with the inhabitants. Experience the historically accurate reconstructed landscapes and landmarks of this region. Visit the original forms of medieval castles still standing today.
