Summary
We’re currently in that post-holiday down period for video games where studios take a break from releasing new games, but that comes to an abrupt end in a couple of weeks. February is set to be one of the busier months in recent memory for new games andKingdom Come: Deliverance 2will kick it off on February 4. It might break a very impressive record when it gets here too as its director believes it might have a longer script than any other video game in history.
YouTuber ESO_Dannyshared a photo of himself on Monday standing next to a physical copy of the Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 script, revealing it to be 1.7 million words long, more than twice the length of the first game’s 800,000-word script.Warhorse Studios, Kingdom Come’s developer, replied to the YouTuber’s post claiming the script is even more impressive, noting thatit’s actually 2.2 million words long.
The game’s director Daniel Vavrahas since added to that claim. Also replying to the original post from ESO_Danny, Vavra stated that he believes it’s the longest video game script ever, noting that the record currently belongs toBaldur’s Gate 3.According to VGC, Baldur’s Gate 3 is indeed the current Guinness World Record holder of the game with the longest script, andthat record clocks in at a little over two million words.
Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 Is Coming For Baldur’s Gate 3’s Crown
2.2 Million Words Await You In The Upcoming Sequel
If Warhorse and Vavra’s claims are proven to be correct and Guinness can verify as much once Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 is released, then the new game will snatch the record from Baldur’s Gate 3 less than two years after it was set. Considering the story possibilities and the seemingly endless characters there are to meet and converse with in 2023’s Game of the Year, it’s hard to imagine a game in which there will be even more dialogue options.
There doesn’t appear to be much risk of Larian adding more content to Baldur’s Gate 3 should it lose its longest script crown a few weeks from now either. The studio noted thatits next game now has its “full attention"and it was previously confirmedBaldur’s Gate 3’s next patch, patch eight, will be its last major update.
As for what February has in store, if you don’t plan on hearing as many of Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2’s 2.2 million words as you can, there’s alsoLike A Dragon: Pirate Yakuza In Hawaii,Monster Hunter Wilds, andAvowedto look forward to. NotAssassin’s Creed Shadows, though, Ubisoft has, perhaps quite cleverly,moved its release date into the second half of March.
