Warhorse Studios is bringing Kingdom Come: Deliverance II Royal Edition to Nintendo Switch 2 in 2027. The release is planned as a complete package, combining the base game with its premium story expansions, exclusive equipment, and an additional questline. Nintendo players interested in the medieval RPG should keep an eye on the port, but anyone waiting for a firm launch date or confirmed performance details will need to remain patient.
What the Switch 2 edition includes
Royal Edition is positioned as the most comprehensive version of Kingdom Come: Deliverance II. Its contents will include the full base game, premium story expansions, exclusive gear, and a bonus questline. The announcement does not identify the expansions individually, and it does not provide details about how the additional equipment or questline will be accessed. Even so, players who have not yet started the sequel can expect the Switch 2 package to bring its major paid story content together in one release.
Who should consider waiting
The Switch 2 version gives Nintendo players a new way to access Warhorse Studios' large-scale role-playing game, which originally launched on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC in February. The sequel was also recognized by Game Informer as one of its favorite games of 2025 and received a 9.5 out of 10 in that outlet's review. Players who already own the game on another platform will likely have fewer reasons to double-dip unless portability or the complete Royal Edition package is especially important to them.
What we know about the release
Warhorse has confirmed only a 2027 window, with no specific day or month announced. Performance information for the sequel on Nintendo's newer hardware is also unavailable. There is at least a relevant comparison: Warhorse previously released the first Kingdom Come: Deliverance on Switch 2, and that port runs fine according to the source information. That provides some reason for optimism, but it does not confirm how the technically demanding sequel will perform. A trailer for Royal Edition on Switch 2 is available for players who want an early look at the port.
What players should know
- Royal Edition is scheduled for Nintendo Switch 2 sometime in 2027.
- The package includes the base game, premium story expansions, exclusive gear, and a bonus questline.
- Warhorse Studios has not announced an exact release date.
- No Switch 2 performance details have been confirmed for the sequel.
- The first Kingdom Come: Deliverance already has a Switch 2 port that runs fine.
Expert View
The Royal Edition looks like a sensible entry point for Nintendo players who have not experienced the sequel, particularly because it gathers the game's premium story content into one package. The main reason to wait is uncertainty: the 2027 launch window is broad, and the Switch 2 version's performance remains untested. The earlier game's port is encouraging, but the sequel will need to demonstrate that it can preserve its scope on the new platform.
