So, truly the best news is the long-anticipated Royal Edition of Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 has officially hit the market! Is this for real? The developers of the game Warhorse Studios not only made this one big release but also came up with something even bigger that is all completely rabbit-covered. Yes, you recognized it correctly. The Kingdom Come RPG’s official account did a very funny and affectionate thing by posting a video where the intense and emotional moments of the storyline are broken up by a cute little group coming from the characters’ rabbit portrayals. Already we have Henry Hare, Hans Hare, Katherabbit…you got it! They are all there and the scenes that should be serious are spoiled, but in the best way possible.
For those who want the exact details: the Royal Edition of Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 came as a collection with the base game and its DLC. Nevertheless, the moment of going viral was caused by another video that was lighthearted and adorable, in which the rabbit-themed characters were ruining the dramatic moments. The online community reacted right away and the reaction was mostly a round of applause as gamers were already demanding more rabbit content, and even a full game with the furry gang.
Yes, let us go back to the bunnies. The video, which you absolutely have to see to believe, takes the not-so-great but still historically accurate cutscenes that we know and love and literally just… creates a cozy atmosphere for them. Just imagine a heated tussle, except everyone has long floppy ears. A character dies in a very dramatic way, but he is a bunny. It is pure genius. And the gamers? They are totally on board with it. The replies to the tweet have turned into a treasure trove of enthusiasm and creative rabbit-name suggestions. One follower has come up with ‘Harenry and Earic,’ another one says ‘King Bunnismund’—which, to be honest, is a perfect score with no corrections needed. Somebody even suggested ‘Markvart von hoplitz’ and I am just… I need a moment. That is too good.
That emotion is remarkably sincere. The remarks ‘This is so lovely! Really great! Thanks for entertaining us with these cute little bunnies’ and ‘I am captivated. Super cute!’ came in by the dozen. One player called it ‘the best xmas gift,’ which is a very nice mood. It is clear that Warhorse has done a great job with this one—a perfect blend of fan service and plain fun that even with fur on, it reminds the gamers why they love this world.
But wait, it gets even better. This is not merely a random meme. One clever response revealed that these rabbits were part of history! ‘These rabbits are often depicted in medieval manuscripts. It was a common motif…’ So, it is a deep-cut and historically-accurate joke. Which makes it even cooler. It’s a reference to the art of the time the game is so meticulously replicating. Another user said it reminded him of Monty Python’s killer rabbit which only increases the absurdity of this medieval rabbit sundae.
Naturally, not all the responses were rabbit-focused. This is a gaming community, and when you read the replies you will be convinced. The tweet also attracted the usual mix of requests, questions, and minor complaints that follow any game update. A lot of players actually inquired about the console’s physical edition of Royal Edition. ‘I NEED IT…’ one user wrote, and you can just feel how desperate the request is. Someone else wanted to get clarity on the contents of the Royal Edition if they already own everything. Legit inquiry.
And then there’s the technical aspect. A couple of replies pointed to some glitches and one asked the developers to enhance the controller compatibility for the Steam version, especially for Linux and Steam Deck users where said ‘unplayable’ despite the compatibility label. Another user recommended taking the Hardcore mode perks and giving them to Normal difficulty for a personalized challenge. The bunnies are indeed a great distraction but the players have not neglected the nitty-gritty.
And then… the ultimate demand. The imagery behind the bunny parody sparked the whole community’s imagination. A comment simply said, ‘Can you guys make an open world fantasy game where we play as rabbits PLEASE??? 🙏🏻’ Another one said, ‘Umm I need to play as henry rabbit.’ This is not just a passing thought—it is a campaign starter. They have already made it clear. They want a medieval rabbit RPG. Warhorse, are you listening? The demand is right there!
It is truly amazing how one silly video can bring a community together like that. It was like a breath of fresh air mingled with the power of imagination plus a little friendly dispute over the games (one response claimed that KCD1 had better gameplay than the sequel and that KCD2 was too much dialogue). But the JRPG fans and those on PlayStation and Xbox all found common ground in the fun.
