Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 Has Incredibly Accurate Sound Design
Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 is filled with easter eggs and details that often go unnoticed by players, but one individual has discovered a sound detail that has blown the minds of fellow players. In a new post on Reddit, user Red_farmer revealed that Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 features accurate representations of the speed of sound. The user said they spent ten minutes tracking lightning strikes from a hilltop and noting their approximate touchdown points, they then timed how long each strike took and marked the measuring distance from their position on the map. The test revealed that thunder is "appropriately delayed relative to distance," according to the user. This means the sound of the thunder varies depending on how far away the lightning strike is, just like in real life.
This is just one of Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2's many realistic details, but it's arguably one of the most impressive. Fellow Reddit users chimed in to praise Warhorse Studios for its efforts, with user Fast-Year8048 saying they "love the details" in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, while CanticlePhotogrpahy praised the entire sound design of the game, saying that the bell rings from monasteries are incredibly accurate. "The sound of bells ringing and the way that sound transforms as I move through cloistered courtyards, covered walkways, etc., to get inside the church is very clear and distinct to me as someone who has lived with it," the user noted.
While fans are still discovering new things about Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 every day, plenty of new content is still to come. Warhorse Studios recently released the first major content update for Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, bringing over 1,000 bug fixes to the title and introducing the highly anticipated barber feature. But for fans eager for more story content, the developer has confirmed that three expansions will be released later this year. The first DLC is set to release in the Summer, followed by another expansion in the Autumn and a third in the Winter.
