Warhorse Studios has just rolled out a significant free update for Kingdom Come: Deliverance II – version 1.2, which brings two exciting features to the forefront: native integration of mods through Steam Workshop and an all-new barber shop system.
The Steam Workshop integration makes it a breeze to download and install mods directly within the game, eliminating the hassle of using third-party platforms. However, this feature hinges on mod creators uploading their work to Steam Workshop. Currently, the selection is modest but includes some intriguing options:
- Free Saving: This mod grants players unlimited saves by automatically replenishing the "Saviour Schnapps" item whenever it’s used or lost.
- Helmet of Henry VIII: Adds a historically inspired horned helmet to your collection.
- Tourist: Disables NPC reactions to trespassing, allowing access to restricted story locations.
- Pebbles the Zebra: Transforms your trusty steed into a zebra with a unique visual flair.
While the initial selection may be limited, the vibrant modding community is poised to grow quickly. With over a thousand mods already on Nexus Mods, it's likely that many creators will start sharing their creations on both platforms. Although Steam Workshop might not match the scale of Nexus Mods, popular mods are expected to appear there soon.

In addition to mod support, players can now visit NPC barbers in Rattay and Kuttenberg to revamp their hairstyle or beard design. No matter the chosen style, a visit to the barber temporarily boosts the protagonist's Charisma stat, enhancing social interactions.
Update 1.2 goes well beyond these additions. The extensive changelog on the game's official website details over a thousand fixes and improvements, touching nearly every aspect of the game. These enhancements include balancing adjustments, refined animations, and more realistic NPC behavior. The crime system has been fine-tuned for greater accuracy, ensuring a more immersive experience.
Other notable updates include:
- Revised daily schedules for NPCs, making their routines more believable.
- Enhanced horse riding mechanics and horse trading systems, improving the equestrian experience.
- Improved character visuals and overall performance, especially in Kuttenberg (the largest city in the game) and during large-scale battles.
Warhorse Studios plans to explore these changes in more detail during a developer livestream next Thursday. The studio remains committed to supporting the game, with three paid DLC expansions scheduled for release in spring, summer, and winter.
With the introduction of Steam Workshop integration, new cosmetic options, and a host of gameplay refinements, Kingdom Come: Deliverance II continues to evolve, offering players an even richer medieval experience.
