Kingdom Come: Deliverance supports restoration of Pirkštejn Castle

Warhorse Studios has announced a notable initiative during the ongoing Steam Medieval Fest to support the restoration of the real-life Pirkštejn Castle. Throughout the event, which runs until April 27, 2026, $1 will be donated for every copy of Kingdom Come: Deliverance sold.

About Steam Medieval Fest

Steam Medieval Fest is an event focused on games with medieval themes and features significant discounts. Kingdom Come: Deliverance, one of the standout titles in the promotion, is currently on sale for $6. This limited-time offer gives both new players and those who have played the game before a chance to contribute to the restoration of a piece of history.

Pirkštejn Castle

Pirkštejn Castle, which plays an important role in the story of Kingdom Come: Deliverance as the player’s home in Rattay, is currently undergoing a restoration process. The focus of this campaign is the restoration of the castle’s bell tower, which is known for its unique architecture and historical value. The cost of the restoration is estimated at 2.5 million CZK (around $121,000). An EU grant will kick off the first phase of the restoration in May 2025.

Details of the donation campaign

Warhorse Studios is encouraging players to buy the game and help support the restoration in the process. The developer says the campaign is not only a way to promote the game, but also to raise awareness of preserving historical heritage. The castle’s official website also offers opportunities for interested visitors to take walking tours and explore the places that inspired the locations in Kingdom Come: Deliverance.

Warhorse Studios’ involvement in restoring the castle from the game shows how video games can do more than entertain — they can also contribute to society and support cultural heritage. Players now have the chance not only to enjoy an immersive game experience, but also to make a real impact on preserving an important cultural landmark.

In addition to Kingdom Come: Deliverance, Steam Medieval Fest also offers discounts on other popular titles such as Dark Souls III, The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, and Dragon’s Dogma 2. These events are a great opportunity for gamers to pick up their favorite titles while also supporting a good cause.
