One Fan Mapped Out the Actual Timeline of Kingdom Come: Deliverance

Kingdom Come: Deliverance has long prided itself on historical fidelity. From its 15th-century Bohemian setting to the architecture and characters rooted in real-world history, developer Warhorse Studios built a world that feels grounded. However, there is one glaring issue that has nagged at players: the game’s internal timeline.

During the epilogue of the first game, a conversation between Henry and Hans Capon implies that the entire main story takes place over a measly two weeks. For a blacksmith’s son with zero combat experience to transform into a master swordsman while simultaneously earning the trust of the nobility, that timeframe feels, to put it mildly, unlikely.

Mapping the True Journey

Twitter user Paul decided the two-week window was too absurd to ignore. He took it upon himself to meticulously map out the events of the game, accounting for travel, side quests, and necessary downtime. By considering the logical progression of Henry’s recovery—specifically a two-week period where he would realistically be bedridden from combat injuries and potential infection—Paul’s calendar stretches the story to just over two months.

The analysis goes beyond simple guesswork. Paul utilized various self-imposed metrics to track Henry’s daily activities, noting that the game’s in-game world clock is notoriously inaccurate. He pointed out that the counter often skips forward by entire days during key moments, such as drinking sessions with Father Godwin or specific romantic encounters, failing to account for the actual time spent navigating the world.

Warhorse Studios Weighs In

The effort didn't go unnoticed by the developers. Warhorse Studios responded to the project on social media, telling Paul, "At this point you're possibly more organised than we are!" The recognition prompted Paul to take a leap of faith and apply for a position at the studio, a move that feels entirely in line with the spirit of Henry’s own rise from humble beginnings.

While Paul admits that his timeline is subjective—noting that no two playthroughs are the same due to failed skill checks or random bandit encounters—his work provides a more coherent structure to the story than the game’s own elusive clock. As players look toward the future of the series, this deep dive into the original Kingdom Come story serves as a reminder of how much detail fans are willing to uncover in the worlds they love.
