Recently, evidence of a native PS5 version of Kingdom Come: Deliverance For cautious optimism. Now comes an update, but one that noticeably dampens the euphoria. A Reddit user claims to have shared information about the series' next-gen future months ago and is now following up.

A remaster of the first Kingdom Come: Deliverance It is supposedly scheduled for release as early as February 2026. However, according to this source, anyone hoping for major innovations should probably temper their expectations.

A remaster, yes, but apparently without great ambitions.

According to the the user The upcoming version is less of a lavishly revamped remake and more of a PC port for current consoles. Therefore, no fundamental gameplay changes, new content, or technical experiments are planned. Kingdom Come: Deliverance It should run on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S in the same way that PC gamers have known it for years – more stable, cleaner, but not reimagined.

It's important to note that this information is unconfirmed. Neither Warhorse Studios nor any publisher has officially commented. The source relies on hearsay and previous statements that cannot yet be verified. Therefore, this update should be treated for what it is: another piece of the puzzle, not the final picture.

Why such updates are still relevant

This kind of content maintenance is not unusual in the gaming world, especially when a project is gradually taking shape. If the rumor is true, it would also explain why no bold promises have been made so far. A PC-only port would be relatively quick to implement and could particularly appeal to those who only started playing with the second installment.

Those who have played the first installment on consoles may benefit from improved performance, shorter loading times, and higher image quality. However, those hoping for a true remaster with new features are likely to be disappointed.

Nevertheless, a “merely” ported Kingdom Come: Deliverance It would have its place on the PS5. The role-playing game is complex, unwieldy, and its consistency remains unusual even today. Technically well-executed, it could finally become more accessible to newcomers without losing its gritty character.
