Kingdom Come: Deliverance II Update 1.2 Out Now - Adds Steam Workshop, Barber Shops

Warhorse Studios has unveiled a major free update for Kingdom Come: Deliverance II, rolling out version 1.2 with exciting new features. This patch brings native mod integration through Steam Workshop and introduces a fresh barber shop system, enhancing the player experience significantly.

The Steam Workshop integration streamlines modding by allowing players to download and install mods directly within the game, bypassing the need for external platforms. However, this depends on mod creators uploading their work to Steam Workshop. Currently, the selection is limited but includes intriguing options like:

• Free Saving: Replenishes the "Saviour Schnapps" item for unlimited saves.
• Helmet of Henry VIII: Adds a unique horned helmet inspired by historical designs.
• Tourist: Disables NPC reactions to trespassing, granting access to restricted areas.
• Pebbles the Zebra: Transforms your horse into a zebra with a distinctive visual effect.

Although the mod count is low at the moment, the modding community is poised for rapid growth. With over a thousand mods already on Nexus Mods, many creators are expected to share their creations on both platforms. While Steam Workshop might not match Nexus Mods' scale, it's likely that popular mods will soon be available there.

Alongside mod support, players can now visit NPC barbers in Rattay and Kuttenberg to alter their hairstyle or beard, with each visit temporarily boosting the protagonist's Charisma stat.

Update 1.2 extends beyond these features, with Warhorse Studios' extensive changelog on their official website detailing over a thousand fixes and improvements. These enhancements cover balancing adjustments, refined animations, and improved NPC behavior, including a more accurate crime system.

Other notable updates include:

• Revised daily schedules for NPCs, enhancing the realism of their routines.
• Enhanced horse riding mechanics and improved horse trading systems.
• Better character visuals and overall performance, especially in Kuttenberg and during large-scale battles.

Warhorse Studios will explore these changes in detail during a developer livestream next Thursday. The studio continues to support the game, with three paid DLC expansions planned for release in spring, summer, and winter.

With the integration of Steam Workshop, new cosmetic options, and a host of gameplay refinements, Kingdom Come: Deliverance II continues to evolve, offering players an ever-richer medieval experience.
