Warhorse Studios unveiled an overwhelming new update for its popular role-playing game, Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2. Patch 1.3 has long finally deployed on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC. Bug fixes, optimizations, and a small amount of new content have been added to the update.

At last, players can engage in cross-country racing and mounted archery competitions at the Nomads’ camp in Trosky province. Three quests are added to this inclusion: “Horses for Courses,” “Racing Horseshoes,” and “The Executioner’s Edge.”

Some additional content and functionality, such as new dice players at taverns and improved barber functionality, have been included. Fixes for numerous individual quests and random events have also been made.

Warhorse Studios has recently confirmed that they will be releasing two more DLCs for Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2. “Legacy of the Forge” will release in autumn and “Mysteria Ecclesia” in winter. Both are included in the Expansion Pass.
