The time has come. For the first time ever, not only Czech and Slovak players can listen to the official Czech dubbing of Kingdom Come: Deliverance II. Even on the eve of the Championship of the Czech Republic in computer games, which takes place from November 22 to 24, 2024 in Brno, and where visitors will be able to play the game in Czech, PR manager Tobias Stolz-Zwilling checked in directly from the center of the action with the streamer Xnapy and together they started broadcasting a special stream of the game with Czech dubbing.
The stream was running on this linkbut we will have to wait for the recording. Until then, however, we have for you at least a small summary of the most important and news from the dubbing side, for example regarding the cast, which was, however, relatively modest in this passage due to the number of characters. We are still waiting for the revelation of dozens of other actors and dubbers who also participated in the dubbing of Kingdom Come: Deliverance II.
Czech dubbing for the first time
The demo presented is again identical to the one presented in the summer at Gamescom, but this time with the Czech localization. You can recall our impressions of this opening passage in an older article. But back to dubbing. Tobi pointed out that the dubbing is not yet finished and not everything fits at the moment, which was also explained by the fact that they give the Czech actors a little free hand. It is also true that the long loading and chopping of the game, which met the game at the beginning of the demo, will not be in the full version. Later, it was added that we can look forward to well-known actors and interesting voices, but Tobi was not there yet and he did not share any specific names. Perhaps hearing will help.
Right off the bat, one expected confirmation – Jindřich was indeed once again voiced by Richard Wágner, as was the case in the first game and the original community dubbing. At the same time, it can be heard and Tobi also confirmed during the stream that there have been changes in the cast compared to the first part, which also means the new voice of Jan Ptáček from Lipá. Based on the identification and agreement of several people, actor and voice actor Robert Hájek lent his voice, for whom this is not his first experience with game dubbing, as he already lent his voice to Akshan in League of Legends. Nevertheless, we should expect other familiar voices in the game. As for the rooter Bozena, who accompanies us and Jindra through the initial hardships in the game, her familiar voice was eventually assigned to voice actress Zuzana Hykyšová, whose voice has also been used by the characters Vayne and Evelynn in League of Legends for years. Unfortunately, I can no longer serve as Mikeš, whose voice we haven’t been able to identify yet, but it seems that his sidekick Kozlík was voiced by Karel Zima, who was also heard in the first play, for example in the role of Jošt Moravský. You can check out one of the recorded clips, along with a temporary sneak preview of the dubbing, below, at least until the stream footage is released.
Kingdom Come: Deliverance II – The Czech Debut with a Dash of Comedy!
Ah, ladies and gentlemen, the time has come for the Czech and Slovak gaming communities to rejoice! For the first time since the inception of video games (or so it feels), they’re graced with an official Czech dubbing of Kingdom Come: Deliverance II. On the edge of our seats, we await the Championship of the Czech Republic in computer games, taking place November 22 to 24, 2024, in Brno. This just in: not only do we get to go to a championship, but we might also win a medal in “Achievement Unlocked: Understanding Czech Dubbing.” Who’s in?!
In a thrilling twist, PR manager Tobias Stolz-Zwilling checks in directly from the heart of the action, sharing the screen with streamer Xnapy in what we can only describe as a masterclass in gaming and marketing. It’s like an influencer’s crossover episode, but with more pixels and fewer avocado toasts!
Stream Action and Dubbing Revelations
They’ve launched a special stream, and while we might be watching it like it’s a secret surveillance mission, we’ll have to cool our jets as we wait for the recording. In the meantime, we get some insider snippets about what’s cooking on the dubbing front! The cast is modest, but enough to fill in the gaps while we nibble our popcorn. Tobi reassures us: the dubbing isn’t finished yet, and things might not quite fit, much like my last date. Awkward pauses, anyone?
Now, hold onto your hats because Jindřich is back, voiced by none other than Richard Wágner. Yes, that’s right, folks! Richard’s back at the mic like he’s the long-lost friend you didn’t know you missed until a karaoke night rolls around. And let’s not gloss over the energetic changes in the cast, with a new voice bringing life to Jan Ptáček. Ah, nothing says “we’re improving” like switching around voice actors like they’re playing musical chairs!
Speaking of interesting choices, actor Robert Hájek is adding his dulcet tones to the mix. If League of Legends had a voice-over Olympics, this guy would be wearing gold by now! And for another twist, we’ve got Zuzana Hykyšová bringing life to the rooter Bozena, who sounds like she could teach us all a thing or two about handling initial hardships—because trust me, she’s about to become the MVP of the game!
Anticipation Builds
As we look ahead, the whispers of well-known actors and familiar voices tantalize us like a hot bowl of goulash in the winter breeze. But Tobi keeps us on our toes—no names just yet, implying we might have to play ‘Guess Who’ with the voice actors. And while we can’t quite place Mikeš’s voice, we do know that Kozlík’s sidekick sounds as familiar as my neighbor’s cat serenading me at dawn. Karel Zima returns, having proved that his voice is as versatile as a Swiss army knife!
So, while we await the official streams and more profound insights, make sure to check out the sneak previews of the dubbing below! Slap a filter on it, and it’s basically an art piece. Until then, let’s sit back, relax, and prepare for what could very well be the Czech Republic’s version of a blockbuster, where the stakes aren’t just medieval, they’re personal.
The time has finally arrived for fans of the highly anticipated game Kingdom Come: Deliverance II. In a groundbreaking moment, players from both the Czech Republic and Slovakia will now have the chance to enjoy the official Czech dubbing of the game.

Attendees at this prestigious event will not only witness competitive gaming but will also have the unique opportunity to experience the game in its native Czech. In an exciting live broadcast directly from the heart of the action, PR manager Tobias Stolz-Zwilling joined popular streamer Xnapy to present a special stream showcasing the game featuring the newly implemented Czech dubbing.
The stream was running on this linkbut we will have to wait for the recording. Until then, however, we have for you at least a small summary of the most important and news from the dubbing side, for example regarding the cast, which was, however, relatively modest in this passage due to the number of characters. We are still waiting for the revelation of dozens of other actors and dubbers who also participated in the dubbing of Kingdom Come: Deliverance II.
Czech dubbing for the first time
The demo presented is again identical to the one showcased during the summer at Gamescom. However, this version uniquely features Czech localization, allowing local fans an immersive experience. Tobi, during the stream, highlighted that while the dubbing process is progressing, it remains a work in progress. Some elements may not align perfectly just yet because the Czech actors have been granted creative freedom. It’s noteworthy that the long loading times and gameplay hiccups experienced in the demo will be resolved in the final release. Fans can anticipate the inclusion of well-known actors and distinct voices voicing the characters, although specific names were not disclosed during the broadcast.
Right off the bat, one expected confirmation – Jindřich was indeed once again voiced by Richard Wágner, as was the case in the first game and the original community dubbing. Not only did the stream confirm this, but it also revealed changes in the voice cast compared to the original installment. Notably, Jan Ptáček from Lipá has been replaced with a new voice actor. Identified through collaborative recognition, Robert Hájek, who has prior experience in game dubbing, stepped in to lend his voice to a character. He previously voiced Akshan in the popular game League of Legends. Alongside these changes, fans should prepare for a lineup of other recognizable voices enriching the game’s environment.
As for the rooter Bozena, who guides Jindra through the early trials of the game, her role is voiced by the talented actress Zuzana Hykyšová, known for her work on characters like Vayne and Evelynn in League of Legends. Unfortunately, we have yet to uncover the identity of the voice behind Mikeš, though it seems Kozlík was voiced by Karel Zima, who made a return from his performance in the first game as Jošt Moravský. Until footage from the stream is released, fans can check out a recorded clip along with a sneak preview of the dubbing.
How does the creative freedom given to Czech actors during the dubbing process enhance the authenticity of the characters’ dialog in Kingdom Come: Deliverance II?
Eam, highlighted that while the dubbing process is still ongoing and some aspects may feel out of sync, the team is allowing Czech actors some creative freedom. This approach may lead to some natural, if initially imperfect, dialog that reflects the actors’ interpretations.
In an exciting revelation, Jindřich’s character will once more be voiced by Richard Wágner, who also lent his voice in the original game and previous community dubbing. This continuity will surely delight fans as they hear familiar tones bringing their beloved characters to life once again. However, there have been notable changes in the voice cast as well. For instance, Jan Ptáček’s character now features a fresh voice, adding to the evolving dynamic of the game.
Excitingly, Robert Hájek, known for voicing characters in popular games like League of Legends, has taken on a new role, adding an extra layer of depth to the game’s voice acting. Meanwhile, Zuzana Hykyšová has taken on the character Bozena, who is expected to guide players through some initial challenges—a role she seems well-suited for given her experience in voice acting for various characters in the same gaming universe.
The excitement doesn’t stop there. The anticipation is building as players await the revelation of additional voice actors who have yet to be announced, each promising to enrich the game’s immersive experience. As we speculate about the potential hidden gems among the cast, Tobi has teased us with the promise of well-known faces and fascinating voices that will soon be revealed.
the release of the Czech dubbing for Kingdom Come: Deliverance II is a landmark moment for regional gaming communities, just ahead of the upcoming Czech Republic gaming championship. Players are not only looking forward to competition but also to this new way of experiencing a game that has captivated them, all while keeping hope alive for more updates and exciting news from the development team. As we eagerly await the stream recording and further developments, the Czech dubbing has set a promising stage for the game’s release.
