Warhorse Studios has unveiled exciting details about the next major update for Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, scheduled to launch simultaneously with the highly anticipated Legacy of the Forge downloadable content on September 9. Players will receive this substantial update completely free of charge, with the development team confirming it will bring substantial improvements to the game's photography feature set.

Since its critically acclaimed release over six months ago, Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 has established itself as a formidable contender for Game of the Year honors. While this expansive single-player role-playing game may not offer the same replay value as online multiplayer titles, its consistent stream of new downloadable content and feature updates has maintained strong player engagement throughout this period. Following the May release of Brushes with Death, Warhorse Studios is now preparing to launch the second major DLC expansion. For players who may not purchase the additional content, the studio is ensuring there are plenty of reasons to return with another complimentary update.

As Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2's next DLC expansion approaches, enthusiasts will be delighted to learn that a substantial free update will accompany its release. The upcoming patch will become available on September 9 for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC platforms. Although complete patch notes will likely only arrive with the update's official launch, Warhorse Studios has provided an early glimpse at the considerable photography improvements arriving next month. A recent developer live stream offered additional insights, showcasing all the new configuration options that will become accessible in photo mode through this update.

Among the new features, players will gain the ability to adjust both the time of day and sun positioning while using photo mode, enabling them to create precisely the shadow effects they envision. The enhanced photography system in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 will include numerous new lighting parameters for creative experimentation, along with a novel option to incorporate logos into captured images. Developers have also indicated the update will include hundreds of bug corrections and quality-of-life improvements. During the recent presentation, the team demonstrated a new Adaptive HUD setting that automatically conceals interface elements when they're not actively needed.

Regarding the Legacy of the Forge expansion, players can anticipate substantial additional content. Participants will have the opportunity to reconstruct and operate their own blacksmith operation, reconnecting with protagonist Henry's origins as a metalsmith. The DLC will also introduce numerous new missions as Henry encounters associates of his deceased father, who will assist him in revitalizing his family's traditional craftsmanship.
