Let’s dive into one of the latest Easter eggs discovered in “Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2,” an open-world RPG that delights players with nods to beloved titles like Bethesda’s “The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim.” Gamers have spotted a clever homage hidden within the dialogue of an NPC, humorously referencing the infamous “arrow to the knee” meme. This easter egg is a treat for fans who love uncovering hidden surprises in the medieval fantasy genre.
Launched in February 2025 by Warhorse Studios and Deep Silver, this eagerly-awaited sequel picks up the tale from its 2018 predecessor, following the protagonist Henry as he battles the formidable Holy Roman Emperor Sigismund. Despite the game experiencing a few hiccups with bugs, such as NPCs amusingly sliding across the ground and horses exhibiting the wrong speeds, the game has still managed to clinch an impressive 89 average score on Open Critic. Its initial sales were a major success, selling a whopping one million copies in just the first 24 hours.
On Reddit, user FIRSTODST1 shared a screenshot capturing a delightful moment in the game. Henry, donning his armor, chats about a fellow who came across some misfortune due to an arrow in his knee—a shout-out to the iconic line often parodied by the Skyrim community: “I used to be an adventurer like you, then I took an arrow in the knee.” The community’s response to these nods has been overwhelmingly positive, with players appreciating the Easter eggs’ subtlety and humor.
Beyond its charming references, Warhorse Studios’ sequel sprinkles in humor with its glitches, making them more laughable than frustrating for players. Reports of floating sheep and peculiar horse speed issues have popped up, but such bugs are typical in vast open-world games and are often addressed through patches.
In addition to being available on multiple platforms, including PlayStation and Xbox, “Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2” continues to draw players into its intricate world with a mix of RPG, action-adventure, and open-world mechanics. While players continue to explore its rich environment and uncover its secrets, the anticipation for future patches is high, promising to further polish the gameplay experience in the near future.
