The narrative follows a linear progression, focusing on Henry of Skalica. While the main story is linear, side quests offer branching paths and diverse outcomes. The game picks up where the first game left off, but newcomers can easily jump in thanks to a detailed recap. Expect a larger, darker story encompassing entire kingdoms and their rulers, with unexpected twists and brutal details. Kuttenberg serves as the central location, offering a vast, richly populated environment. Many characters from the first game return.

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