The narrative follows a linear progression, focusing on Henry from Skalica. While the main story is linear, side quests offer multiple approaches and outcomes. The game picks up where the first game left off, but a detailed recap is included, making it accessible to newcomers. Expect a larger, darker story encompassing entire kingdoms and rulers, with unexpected twists and brutal details. Kuttenberg serves as the central location, featuring numerous characters, many returning from the first game.

While building upon the foundation of the original, Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 introduces several improvements. Character progression is more diverse, allowing players to specialize as warriors, rogues, or diplomats. Combat is smoother and more accessible, yet retains its challenge. New features include in-combat dialogue, advanced negotiation systems, romantic interests, and firearms (described as unstable and potentially self-harming). The reputation and morality system is more sophisticated, with NPCs reacting to even subtle details.
