Absolutely agree. The new engine is leaps and bounds beyond where it was ten years ago.
Here’s a newly released tech demo, if you’d like to see the possibilities.

Unfortunately the devs said they did too much work on CryEngine 3.x to make it compatible to their RPG and they won’t switch the engine and do all that work again. So I hope that doesn’t mean even KCD 2 will use an engine from 2011.
And a tech demo looks always better than a full game with a huge open-world filled with tons of NPCs and physics and where you should can ride without fps drops. But nevertheless this new engine would be a major quality and performance upgrade to KCD. Maybe it doesn’t cost that lot work to upgrade the engine from 3.x to 5.6. Note that v4 of the engine never existed.
We can only hope.

I love the game for its consistancy and If they were to do a LOW magic/fantasy game with a similar feel It would be great.
I understand the problems with open world but it would be nice to have, say a multi player size of say 6 in such a setting.
I have played in in the RPG setting of Harn since the early eighties and its feel would be captured well with the warhorse treatment.
No multiplayer please.

as an add on, multiplayer would be ok. joint missions/quests/battles could have a lot of potential. but, hope the core game is kept single player
it’s not just 3.x to 5.6. it highly tampered with 3.x to 5.6. 5.6 is likely not backwards compatible with the (highly) customized stuff … unless WH was rebuilding elements of 5.x in parallel. possible but doubt.
This is an atmospheric single player game, it does not need multiplayer.

Exactly. Multiplayer would NOT be ok. I don’t want stupid kiddies running around everywhere.
This is a serious game for grown-ups. When you want multiplayer, it’s not your game. There are millions of other games you can have fun with other people and trolling around with them.

doesnt need it, sure. byeond that, WH isn’t Rockstar in which they’re banking on multiplayer (eg RDR2 online) to subsidize future extravagant spending
could WH benefit from it? depends. multiplayer just for the sake of multiplayer would be a fustercluck. that said, Daniel et al have done some creative and interesting things. if someone could make it work in a way that didn’t distract from the core game, i’d say it’d be WH.
Most often, multiplayer is detrimental to single-player games (it is difficult to do everything all at once). Rockstar is an exception.
WH is exceptional 
Rockstar is a bad developer.

What ever Warhorse makes, please NO FANTASY CRAP. PC has million games wisch has magic and unnatural shit, and me and many mores don’t like that. Rational games ftw.
Btw, is it true that Warhorse studios were pretty close to broke when they finnished KCD? Well atleast game sold ok, so they got a lot of resources back, yet its hard to imagine that this game made profit for every company that was included in process.

Fantasy crap? Fantasy is not automatically crap. The best game in the world is fantasy. And you call magic an unnatural thing while string theory is more than magic and real. The nature, the universe IS magic!
It would be great a game about “los tercios” and the Spanish empire, a very little exploited era
If not, medieval age in Europe is a very rich stage in wars and events; the reconquest of the Iberian peninsula, the crusades, Vikings, Mongols …

I already said we should have a game where you play a crusader who fight against islamic conquerors. We have Assassin’s Creed where you play as a moslem who kills christian crusaders. Now let’s have a game which is the opposite. There are tons of games where you fight against german nazi facists. But Islam is a nazi facism too.

A game set around/on Malta during The Great Siege of 1565. Along the lines of the awesome novel “The Religion”, but Tim Willocks.
I want the same game as KCD in the same geographical latitude, I like this nature and the Slavic style. The artists and level designers from Warhorse Studios did a great job, the music is also very well chosen, it goes well with the game. And so that the game has the same pace, I don’t want a lot of fights, it’s better to have more history and that the game would be even more beautiful (example beta version) and the same unhurried and contemplative.
