Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 comes out immediately – February 4, 2025 – however the first mod for it to be printed through Nexus is already right here.
Yep, KCD2 mods have dropped earlier than the sport even does for individuals who weren’t given early entry (as we had been for our evaluation), and it seems like there are a bunch of different useful quality-of-life modifications that may very well be able to go the second Warhorse Studios presses the large launch button.
The work with the distiguished title of being the primary KCD2 mod to drop, despite the fact that it is also form of not the primary KCD2 mod full cease for causes I am going to get into, is ‘Completely pointless Reticle for Bows and Crossbows’. It dropped on February 3 at about 12PM GMT, and is the creation of German tech jounalist Timo Schmidt, who goes by the username HerrTiSo and has clearly put his evaluation code to make use of in additional methods than one.
As you’d count on from the title, the job it does may be very easy. “In KCD2, bows and crossbows are actually centered on the display screen, making aiming extra pure and simpler in comparison with the primary sport,” Schmidt writes, “Whereas this improved positioning considerably eliminates the necessity for a reticle, some gamers should discover extra help helpful—whether or not for accessibility causes, desire, or just to clean out the gameplay. This mod allows the reticle for bows and crossbows via an in-engine command.”
Whereas that is the one KCD2 mod reside on the large modding website as of writing, as you possibly can see by wanting on the net tackle for its Nexus web page, it is really listed because the twelfth KCD2 mod to exist. So, the place are one to 11? Nicely, as noticed by people to the Kingdom Come subreddit, there look to be 14 different ones presently sitting unpublished on Nexus Mods.
As you’d count on for a sport that is solely simply popping out, they’re just about all the identical sorts of helpful tweaks as Schmidt’s unncessary reticle, with titles starting from “quicksave” and “Infinite Carry Capability” to “Hardcore Mode” and “Angriness Begone”. Insterstingly, that final one is not the strangest title right here – to me, that honour goes to the very first ever mod listed as being created for KCD2, which is simply dubbed “Mod 1”.
What does it do? It is a complete thriller! Because the Reddit put up’s writer Akzyra factors out, it is value holding in thoughts that a few of these may simply be placeholders or deserted tasks, so Mod 1 may properly be nothing, however what it if is one thing?
We’ll simply have to attend and see, with the sport set to unlock en-masse in about seven hours time as of writing. Till then, learn that evaluation I linked earlier. Our Connor wrote it, and he is cool.
