Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 Fuels Tourism Boom in Czech Republic
Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, the acclaimed historical RPG developed by Warhorse Studios, is not only a sales success but is also sparking increased interest in the Czech Republic. The game’s detailed recreation of 15th-century Bohemia is inspiring players to visit the real-world locations featured within the game. The Czech Tourism Board is capitalizing on this interest by developing tourism programs centered around the game’s iconic historical sites.
# Game’s Locations Inspire Czech Republic Travel
Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 immerses players in 15th-century Bohemia, featuring authentic historical landmarks like the ruins of Trosky Castle and Kutná Hora (Kuttenberg in the game). The game’s impressive visuals and realistic design have significantly boosted interest in these destinations.
Czech tour operators are anticipating a surge in visitors eager to explore these locations firsthand and are preparing to launch game-themed tours. For instance, Czexperience offers a private day trip that includes Trosky Castle and other key sites. This tour is designed “for adventurers who want to experience the spirit of the game,” according to the company.
This initiative demonstrates how Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 has become more than just a game; it’s a powerful tool for promoting the cultural and historical heritage of the Czech Republic. Given the increased tourist interest following the release of the first game, the second installment is expected to amplify this effect.
Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, with its detailed portrayal of medieval life, appeals to both gamers and history enthusiasts. The Czech Tourism Board’s approach highlights the potential for collaboration between the gaming and tourism industries. Thanks to the game’s popularity and the resulting tourist interest, the Czech Republic is poised to become a top destination for gamers and travelers alike.
