But amidst all the praise for this highly anticipated sequel, eagle-eyed players are discovering that the developers have peppered their medieval playground with some delightfully unexpected easter eggs. One such discovery has the gaming community buzzing, as it pays tribute to one of Elden Ring’s most legendary figures in a rather… morbid way.

And while most games these days seem content to launch in a barely playable state, developer Warhorse Studios is showing the industry how it’s done, following in the footsteps of current “industry greats” like Larian Studios by delivering a polished experience right out of the gate— no day one patch needed.

A fallen legend in medieval Bohemia

Deep in the southwest region of Trosky in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, near a humble mill, lies a peculiar sight that Elden Ring fans will immediately recognize. A skeleton, its skull concealed within an unmistakable jar, rests eternally beside two discarded swords.

For the uninitiated, this might seem like just another casualty of medieval warfare. But for those in the know, this is clearly a nod to

, the legendary player who became famous for helping countless others defeat one of Elden Ring‘s most notorious bosses, Malenia.

Finding a jar-headed warrior in 15th century Bohemia might seem a bit “jar”-ring (sorry), but Warhorse Studios has managed to tuck this tribute into their world with surprising finesse.

Much like how they’ve woven historical details into every corner of Kuttenberg’s bustling streets, this fallen legend feels right at home among the medieval ruins—a clever nod that doesn’t sacrifice the game’s commitment to authenticity for the sake of a reference.

A masterclass in game development

What’s truly remarkable, however, is how the game manages to deliver this massive, detail-rich world without the technical compromises that have become all too common in modern gaming.

Unlike recent releases like Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, which mandates hardware-based ray tracing, Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 proves that you don’t need to force technical requirements to create a visually stunning and performant game.

This approach is directly at odds with the industry’s recent trend of releasing unoptimized games that rely heavily on day-one patches and high-end hardware requirements, or, if not, have to fall back on upscaling tech as a crutch. Warhorse Studios has instead focused on creating a game that runs beautifully across a wide range of systems while maintaining its gorgeous visuals and immersive medieval world.
