Delve into an immersive storyline in Brushes with Death, where Henry must help a mysterious artist uncover his enigmatic past.

Discover the answers to the many questions that surround this eclectic character. Who and what is he? How does he know so much? And why does he carry around a painted human skull?
In addition to new quests, Brushes with Death features a brand-new and unique feature to visually modify your shield, choosing from a variety of patterns and colours to reflect your personal style with Shield Painting.

Kingdom Come: Deliverance II is a true sequel to its predecessor but developed and written in such a way that it is perfect for newcomers and longtime fans alike.
Diving back into the heart-pounding world of 15th Century Bohemia (Central Europe), Kingdom Come: Deliverance II picks up where its predecessor left off, thrusting players into the shoes of Henry, the steadfast son of a blacksmith, embroiled in a tumultuous tale of vengeance, betrayal, and self-discovery.
