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 creator participation. Currently, a few mods are available, including: "Free Saving" (unlimited saves), "Helmet of Henry VIII" (a historically-inspired helmet), "Tourist" (disables NPC trespassing reactions), and "Pebbles the Zebra" (transforms your horse). While the initial selection is small, the vast library of over a thousand mods on Nexus Mods suggests a rapid influx of content to Steam Workshop is likely, though it may not reach the same scale.

Beyond modding, players can now customize their appearance at barbers in Rattay and Kuttenberg, receiving a temporary Charisma boost regardless of their choice.

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), revised NPC daily schedules for greater realism, enhanced horse riding and trading mechanics, and improved character visuals and performance, particularly in Kuttenberg and during large battles. 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, cosmetic enhancements, and numerous gameplay refinements, the game offers an even richer medieval experience.
