Warhorse Studios' critically acclaimed RPG Kingdom Come: Deliverance might be getting a significant PlayStation 5 upgrade soon. Originally launched in 2018, the historical RPG currently runs on PS5 through backward compatibility, but recent discoveries hint at a dedicated current-gen version being in development. This potential upgrade comes on the heels of the massive success of Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, suggesting Warhorse may be expanding the franchise's next-gen presence.

The original Kingdom Come: Deliverance earned numerous accolades, including a Game of the Year award at the 2019 Player's Awards. Its sequel has continued this legacy, becoming a strong contender for 2025's Game of the Year honors alongside other anticipated titles like Death Stranding 2 and Donkey Kong Bananza. With such fierce competition in the gaming landscape, a PS5 version could help maintain the series' momentum.

Industry insider PlayStation Game Size recently uncovered backend data suggesting a native PS5 version is imminent. While no official release date has been announced, the discovery in PlayStation's systems indicates development is likely in its final stages. This would mark the first native current-gen version of the medieval RPG, potentially featuring visual enhancements and performance improvements.

The timing appears strategic, as Warhorse continues to support Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 with regular updates and DLC content. The recent 'Brushes With Death' expansion introduced new quests and gameplay mechanics, while future DLCs promise to expand on Henry's journey as a blacksmith and explore religious mysteries in the game's world.
