Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 has a lot of easter eggs with details from other games. But it doesn’t stop there, there’s secrets for the first game too.

Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 has delivered and is one of 2025’s best games so far. Warhorse Studios has released a game that doesn’t just respect the original but improves upon it. The first game was known for its meticulous medieval setting and the sequel takes things further by injecting personality and charm into nearly every NPC interaction.

From fourth-wall-breaking guards to well-placed pop culture references, you have a lot of little things to find while you follow Henry on his adventurous journey. There is a level of personality and humor rarely seen in the genre that makes the world feel like more than just scripted quests.

Unlike many RPGs where generic townsfolk simply repeat the same dialogue, Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 fills its world with characters who react dynamically to Henry’s actions. The best and most entertaining examples of this are by far the game’s guards. You’ll have undoubtedly spoken to some during your playthrough and you know they don’t just uphold the law, they are comedy gold.

The game is full of easter eggs and the best one is arguably from one of the guards. As found by fans, there is a guard outside a soldier camp who threatens you by saying that he will “kick your a**e to Kingdom Come… Deliverance!” The funny part is that we immediately know that it’s a nod to the first game, but when he says Deliverance! after a second it solidifies it.

Warhorse Studios has a deep love for pop culture, and it shows in not just this easter egg, but the many other ones in the game. The game has a lot of other easter eggs for other games like The Elder Scrolls, Assassin’s Creed, and even Elden Ring‘s famed player Let Me Solo Her got a reference. These are cool things to see because they give us a sense of celebration as we’re immersed in the game’s beautiful world.

Aside from these easter eggs, the game has more nods to its predecessor. In a touching homage to the original development team, players also found a cave containing 11 skeletons, each appearing to be hard at work. Scattered among them are coffee cups, hand-drawn maps, and design documents, representing the small but dedicated team that brought Kingdom Come: Deliverance to life.
