Developer Warhorse Studios is hinting at a long-awaited upgrade for its acclaimed 2018 medieval role-playing game, Kingdom Come: Deliverance. This potential patch would improve performance and visuals, bringing the game up to modern standards on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S consoles.
The new speculation started from a social media post this week. A fan asked about a current-gen update, and the official Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 Twitter account replied with a suggestive side-eye emoji. While this isn’t a confirmation, it clearly invites players to keep an eye out for an announcement. This follows ongoing rumors, including a credible insider report earlier this year that stated the PS5 and Xbox Series X/S update was “one hundred percent confirmed” for early next year, possibly between January and April.
The timing of this hint is important. Warhorse Studios recently finished the development cycle for its sequel, Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, after releasing its final piece of downloadable content. With the sequel’s story wrapped up, it’s a logical time for the team to revisit and improve the original game. This would help close the performance gap, giving a better experience to the many players who may have discovered the series through the popular sequel and want to return to Henry’s original story.
If the rumored update comes through, players expect a complete package. The most anticipated feature is 60 frames per second (FPS) support, which would greatly enhance the flow of exploration and combat. Fans also hope for better textures, upgrades to global illumination and lighting, and maybe even improved quality-of-life or combat mechanics from the sequel. With The Game Awards set for December, many believe Warhorse might announce the much-anticipated upgrade during this major event, providing a clear start date for players eager to return to the land of Bohemia.
