Kingdom Come: Deliverance II Update 1.2 Released – Steam Workshop Integration, Barber Shops, and More

Warhorse Studios has released a major free update, version 1.2, for Kingdom Come: Deliverance II, boasting two significant additions: native Steam Workshop mod integration and a brand-new barber shop system.

Steam Workshop integration streamlines mod installation, eliminating the need for third-party sites. However, availability depends on mod creators migrating their content. Currently, a few mods are available, including:

• Free Saving: Unlimited saves by automatically replenishing "Saviour Schnapps."
• Helmet of Henry VIII: Adds a historically-inspired horned helmet.
• Tourist: Disables NPC reactions to trespassing, opening access to restricted areas.
• Pebbles the Zebra: Turns your horse into a zebra.

While the initial selection is limited, the vast Nexus Mods library (over 1000 mods) suggests a rapid expansion of Steam Workshop offerings is likely. While it may not match Nexus Mods' scale, popular mods are expected to appear soon.

Beyond modding, players can now customize their appearance at barber shops in Rattay and Kuttenberg, with each visit temporarily boosting the protagonist's Charisma.

Update 1.2 encompasses far more than these features. The extensive changelog details over a thousand bug fixes and improvements across the game, including balance adjustments, refined animations, improved NPC behavior (especially the crime system), and revised, more realistic NPC daily schedules. Horse riding and trading mechanics have also been enhanced. Performance improvements, particularly noticeable in Kuttenberg and large battles, have been implemented, along with visual enhancements to characters. A developer livestream next Thursday will delve deeper into these changes.

Warhorse Studios' commitment to Kingdom Come: Deliverance II continues, with three paid DLC expansions planned for spring, summer, and winter. With Steam Workshop integration, new cosmetic options, and numerous gameplay refinements, the game offers an even richer medieval experience.
