Is Kingdom Come: Deliverance Coming to PlayStation 5?
It appears that the critically acclaimed medieval RPG, Kingdom Come: Deliverance, might finally be getting a native PlayStation 5 version. This strong hint comes from the X (formerly Twitter) account PlayStation Game Size, a source well-regarded for its accurate leaks, including the prior announcement of a native current-gen version for Cyberpunk 2077.
The initial tweet from PlayStation Game Size simply stated “Kingdom Come: Deliverance PS5 Version ✅👀,” followed by a confirmation in the comments that this would not be a mere patch for the PS4 version, but a dedicated, standalone build for Sony's current-generation console.
The Journey of a Realistic RPG
The first installment of this ambitious medieval RPG originally launched in 2018. It quickly gained recognition for its innovative approach to realism and historical accuracy, though it was also known for its share of technical issues at launch. Despite a somewhat reserved critical reception (scoring 72 on OpenCritic and 76 on Metacritic), the game steadily built a dedicated fanbase over time, drawn to its unique setting and immersive gameplay.
With the recent release of Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, which has garnered excellent reviews and sold millions of copies, many players are undoubtedly looking to revisit the beginning of Henry of Skalitz's epic journey. However, the outdated console version of the original game could potentially detract from that experience, leaving players wanting more from the technical side.
What This Means for Players
If this leak proves true, PlayStation 5 owners will finally be able to experience the original Kingdom Come: Deliverance in a more stable and modern state. This would be a welcome upgrade, allowing newcomers and returning fans alike to fully appreciate the game's intricate world and story without the technical limitations of its previous console iterations. While there has been no official announcement from Warhorse Studios or PlayStation yet, the success of the sequel combined with the insider's reliable track record makes a native PS5 version for Sony's console highly plausible.
Currently, Kingdom Come: Deliverance is available on PC (Steam, Epic Games Store, GOG), Xbox, PlayStation, and Nintendo Switch, featuring Russian text localization. Players interested in diving in can also find the game at an 80% discount on Steam for another day.
