# What was announced
Developer Warhorse Studios and publisher Deep Silver confirmed during a Nintendo Direct on September 9, 2026 that Kingdom Come: Deliverance II Royal Edition will arrive on Nintendo Switch 2 in 2027. The Royal Edition bundles the base game with all premium story expansions, exclusive gear and an additional bonus questline.
# Who this matters to
Players who want the full Kingdom Come: Deliverance II experience on Nintendo's next hardware will be able to do so without buying multiple releases. The Royal Edition targets Switch 2 owners who prefer handheld play or portability while preserving the game's extensive role-playing systems and narrative content.
# Platform details and technical targets
Warhorse shared early Switch 2 features planned for the port. They include support for Joy‑Con 2 mouse mode and HDR. Handheld play is targeted at 1080p (upscaled) while docked output aims for up to 1440p (also upscaled), with actual output depending on the connected display. The port will ship with various gameplay bug fixes and an enlarged menu UI to ease navigation on smaller displays.
# Where the game already exists
Kingdom Come: Deliverance II is currently available on PC (Steam, Epic, GOG), PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. The Switch 2 edition is intended to extend the series' availability to Nintendo's newest console. The previous Kingdom Come: Deliverance release is playable on Switch via backward compatibility, so players can follow Henry's full journey across the franchise on Nintendo hardware.
The game remains a first‑person, historically grounded RPG set in 15th‑century Bohemia. It focuses on player choice: conversation, stealth, visceral melee combat and branching quest outcomes. The Royal Edition packages story expansions and exclusive equipment, so Switch 2 players should receive the same narrative scope offered on other platforms rather than a pared‑down version.
# Reception context
Kingdom Come: Deliverance II earned recognition during its 2025 release cycle, taking awards for Best Writing, Best Art, Best Design and Immersion, and finishing as a runner‑up for RPG of the Year in coverage cited by the announcement. That reception establishes expectations for narrative quality and systems depth for the Switch 2 port.
# What remains unclear
The announcement did not include a precise release date beyond "2027," nor did it provide full performance metrics, stability details or file size information for the Switch 2 version. Specifics about save transfers, upgrade paths for existing Switch owners or retail vs digital packaging were not mentioned.
# Bottom line
