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

Warhorse Studios has exciting news for fans of *Kingdom Come: Deliverance II* with the release of update 1.2, a major free patch that brings two significant new features to the game: native mod integration through Steam Workshop and a fresh barber shop system.

The integration of Steam Workshop simplifies the modding experience by allowing players to download and install mods directly within the game, bypassing the need for external platforms. However, the success of this feature hinges on mod creators uploading their creations to Steam Workshop. Currently, the selection is limited, featuring mods like:

• Free Saving: This mod replenishes the "Saviour Schnapps" item whenever it's used or lost, granting players unlimited saves.
• Helmet of Henry VIII: Adds a historically inspired horned helmet to the game.
• Tourist: Disables NPC reactions to trespassing, allowing access to restricted areas without consequences.
• Pebbles the Zebra: Transforms your horse into a zebra with a unique visual effect.

While the current mod offerings are sparse, the modding community is expected to grow quickly. With over a thousand mods already available on Nexus Mods, it's likely that many creators will start sharing their work on Steam Workshop as well. Although it may not reach the scale of Nexus Mods, popular mods are sure to make their way to Steam Workshop soon.

Alongside the mod support, update 1.2 introduces a new barber shop system. Players can now visit NPC barbers in Rattay and Kuttenberg to customize their hairstyle or beard. Visiting a barber not only allows for a fresh look but also temporarily boosts the protagonist's Charisma stat.

The changelog for update 1.2, available on the game's official website, reveals over a thousand fixes and improvements touching nearly every aspect of *Kingdom Come: Deliverance II*. These enhancements include balancing adjustments, refined animations, and improved NPC behavior. The crime system has been fine-tuned for greater accuracy, among other updates such as:

• Revised daily schedules for NPCs, making their routines more realistic.
• Enhanced horse riding mechanics and horse trading systems.
• Improved character visuals and overall performance, especially in Kuttenberg and during large-scale battles.

Warhorse Studios plans to discuss these changes in greater detail during a developer livestream next Thursday. The studio's commitment to supporting the game is further evidenced by their plans for three paid DLC expansions, scheduled for release in spring, summer, and winter.

With Steam Workshop integration, new cosmetic options, and a multitude of gameplay refinements, *Kingdom Come: Deliverance II* continues to evolve, providing players with an increasingly immersive medieval experience.
