Video: How the graphics and animation have changed in Kingdom Come 2 compared to the first installment

Gamers have noted the visual similarities between Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 and its predecessor, released seven years prior. However, blogger NikTek's detailed video comparison reveals substantial graphical enhancements.

The video showcases Warhorse Studios' significant improvements, particularly in animation and physics. Enhanced shaders and textures elevate image quality, but the most striking changes are in character animation and their interactions within the game world.

Lighting and dynamic weather effects are dramatically improved, clearly evident around the two-minute mark. Furthermore, the video highlights upgrades to horse controls (minute seven) and more responsive NPC behavior (minute five).

While not a complete visual overhaul, these enhancements—improved graphics, realism, and refined physics—promise a richer and more engaging gameplay experience.
