Warhorse Studios has not released official multiplayer for Kingdom Come: Deliverance II, but a third-party modder has changed that for players who want to play with others. The modder launched an open beta test for an unofficial multiplayer modification, allowing fans to experience cooperative and competitive gameplay that the base game currently lacks. This update addresses a significant absence in the primarily single-player game by allowing players to explore the medieval world with others. Players can now join public servers or host their own instances to explore the world together.
Third-party kcd-mp 0.28.0 adds voice chat and trading to single-player RPG
The modification, identified as kcd-mp version 0.28.0, introduces synchronized game mechanics to the existing single-player engine. It supports core interactions such as opening chests, trading items, operating doors and gates, and engaging in combat with other players. The mod also integrates animal companions, allowing users to interact with dogs and horses alongside other participants. A dedicated public role-playing server named 'KCD:MP Basic RP' is currently available for immediate access.
The mod implements voice chat with a 25-meter range limit to simulate realistic audio propagation. Voice chat functionality is built into the experience, but the audio fades out after 25 meters to simulate natural sound propagation. Players can utilize both melee and ranged weapons within this shared environment, requiring coordination and spatial awareness. The version 0.28.0 update represents the current stable build for this open beta testing phase.
This unofficial multiplayer project stands in contrast to the official roadmap, as the source explicitly notes that the modder created this content independently of Warhorse Studios. The release of this open beta demonstrates player interest in multiplayer functionality for the title. For those interested in testing the mod, the open beta is accessible globally without regional restrictions. This project illustrates how third-party modifications can add new features to an already released game.
This mod aligns with common practices of community-driven enhancements seen in other gaming titles. The availability of the 'KCD:MP Basic RP' server provides a ready-made environment for new players to join. Users retain the ability to host their own servers, offering flexibility for different play styles. This open beta remains an unofficial addition to the game library.
