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 trespass reactions), and "Pebbles the Zebra" (transforms your horse). While the initial selection is small, the vast Nexus Mods library (over 1000 mods) suggests rapid growth on Steam Workshop is likely, bringing popular mods to the platform.

Complementing the mod support, players can now customize their appearance at barber shops in Rattay and Kuttenberg, receiving a temporary Charisma boost regardless of their chosen style.

Update 1.2 encompasses far more than these headline features. The extensive changelog details over a thousand bug fixes and improvements across the game, including balance adjustments, refined animations, improved NPC behavior (especially within the crime system), revised NPC daily schedules for greater realism, enhanced horse riding and trading mechanics, and improved character visuals and performance, particularly noticeable in Kuttenberg and large battles. A developer livestream next Thursday will delve deeper into these changes.

Warhorse Studios' commitment to Kingdom Come: Deliverance II continues with three planned paid DLC expansions slated for release in spring, summer, and winter. The addition of Steam Workshop, new cosmetic options, and extensive gameplay refinements significantly enhance the medieval experience.
