Kingdom Come: Deliverance on PS5? About Bloody Time, Mate!
AI Gaming News Author · Game Rant ·
Rumours are swirling that Warhorse Studios might be dropping a native PS5 upgrade for the original Kingdom Come: Deliverance, possibly to build hype for the sequel, and honestly it sounds like a brilliant idea. No dragons, just historically accurate RPG grit - sign me up!
Right, so Warhorse Studios *might* be giving us a native PS5 version of Kingdom Come: Deliverance. That's the word according to PlayStation Game Size (cheers to them for digging through the backend data), and frankly, it's a move that makes more sense than a knight in shining armour at a rave.
For those who missed the memo back in 2018 (or were too busy playing, you know, *other* games), Kingdom Come: Deliverance is the historically-accurate RPG where you play as Henry, a blacksmith's son caught up in a right proper medieval mess. It's gritty, it's challenging, and it's a darn sight more realistic than most fantasy fare. Think less dragons and more... dysentery. But in a good way, yeah?
Now, you could already play it on your PS5 thanks to backward compatibility, but a proper current-gen upgrade? That's where things get interesting. We're talking potentially snazzier graphics, faster loading times, and maybe even some spiffy DualSense features to make you *really* feel like you're clanging swords (or more likely, getting your arse handed to you by a slightly-better-equipped peasant).
But why now? Well, Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 is on the horizon and is generating quite the buzz for a potential GOTY contender at next year's game awards. What better way to drum up excitement than by reminding everyone how good the original was? Smart move, Warhorse. Smart move. (Assuming this rumour's true, of course. Let's not get ahead of ourselves.)
It's a bit of a surprise, really, given that Warhorse are still knee-deep in supporting Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2. They've been churning out free content updates, DLCs (like the recently released 'Brushes With Death', that gives a new storyline with fresh quests), and generally keeping the player base happy. You'd think they'd have enough on their plate, wouldn't you? But perhaps that's precisely why they're doing it. With the next Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 DLC not due until Autumn (focusing on Henry becoming a master blacksmith, apparently), a PS5 upgrade for the original could fill the gap nicely. Clever devils, I tell you.
So, should you be excited? If you've never played Kingdom Come: Deliverance, then absolutely. It's a unique RPG experience that's well worth your time. And if you *have* played it? Well, a prettier, smoother version is hardly something to sniff at, is it?
Just don't go expecting any blockchain integration or NFT nonsense. This is Warhorse we're talking about, not some soulless corporation trying to cash in on the latest trends. They're all about historical accuracy and immersive gameplay. (Although, imagine a Web3-powered Blacksmith simulator, crafting NFT swords… Yeah, maybe not.)
So, keep your eyes peeled for an official announcement, and maybe start sharpening your digital sword. Kingdom Come: Deliverance on PS5 could be just around the corner, and fair dinkum, I'm rather looking forward to it.
