Kingdom Come: Deliverance - the no-bathing, manure-hurling, peasant simulator that’s also one of our picks for the best medieval games on PC - could soon be getting a live-action adaptation, courtesy of Warhorse Studios and former Netflix executive Erik Barmack. The news comes from Variety, which recently spoke to Barmack about the future of his LA-based production company, Wild Sheep Content. If you recognise the company name, that might be because Wild Sheep Content recently signed a deal with Sega to develop a movie based on the beloved Yakuza franchise. That production is currently searching for scriptwriters, while the Kingdom Come: Deliverance project is on the lookout for potential writers and directors. There’s no confirmation as to whether this adaptation will take the form of a movie or series, yet, only that it’ll be live-action. “Videogames with heavy narrative, like The Witcher and Kingdom Come: Deliverance, are uniquely adaptable, and local but global all at once,” Barmack told Variety. Between this and the Yakuza project, Barmack sees both deals as focusing on “amazing, non-U.S. worlds that are locally relevant, but with a regional and global popularity that streamers are looking for as they become more and more global.”
