Online multiplayer wasn’t invented in real life until the Peace of Westphalia, but why should that stop determined modders? Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2<\/a>\u20142025’s Game of the Year<\/a>, don’cha know\u2014is looking a whole lot more populous than usual, thanks to some madlad mod-makers who have combined forces to bring a multiplayer mode to 15th-century Bohemia (spotted by GamesRadar<\/a>).<\/p>\n

It’s early days yet, but in footage shared on Reddit, modder Marczuk Micha\u0142 showed off their “experimental” mod that adds spectral fellow players to your KCD2 experience. “Each player sees the other as a ghost NPC\u2014position and rotation are synced in real time,” reads the description on the project’s GitHub page<\/a>.<\/p>\n

It’s more roadmap than product at this point\u2014and mods being mods, may never get any further than the state it’s in today\u2014but I’ll be damned if I’m not kind of impressed anyway. Micha\u0142 first posted about their mod a couple of weeks ago, showcasing something pretty basic that mostly featured unanimated ghost-players warping around. A week on? The ghost-players are animating now, and the model “casts shadows, wears real items (armour + sword), and has smoother animations.”<\/p>\n

I sure wouldn’t bet money on this ever getting as far as, say, TES3MP<\/a>, or other mods that add multiplayer to games decidedly not designed for it, but I’m cheering it along anyway. There’s something inherently funny\u2014and ambitious to the point of madness\u2014about crowbarring multiplayer into crunchy singleplayer RPGs like this.<\/p>\n
