Summary
- The launch of Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 is still a few hours away.
- A mod for the game was released before the game itself.
- The mod adds a reticle for bows and crossbows, enhancing gameplay for some players.
Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 is shaping up to be one of the biggest releases of the month, though it faces stiff competition from Monster Hunter Wilds, which also launches in February. Despite this, the game has garnered widespread acclaim, even earning a perfect five-star rating in TheGamer’s review. With just a few hours remaining until its official release, excitement among fans is at an all-time high.
Interestingly, a mod for Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 has already appeared on Nexus Mods—before the game is even out. This might seem surprising, but it appears that some players had already decided what they wanted to tweak based on early trailers alone.
These Mods Were Delivered Too Early
As reported by VG247, a new mod called Totally Unnecessary Reticle for Bows and Crossbows was released yesterday by creator Timo Schmidt.
As the name implies, this mod adds a reticle to bows and crossbows in the game—despite the fact that they don’t necessarily need one. Credit to Schmidt for the clever and fitting name.
The updated aiming system in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 centers bows and crossbows on the screen, making aiming more intuitive and eliminating much of the need for a reticle. This change enhances immersion by removing floating crosshairs, but some players may still prefer the added precision of a reticle—whether for accessibility, personal preference, or smoother gameplay.
This mod addresses that need by enabling a reticle for bows and crossbows through an in-engine command, giving players the option to fine-tune their aiming experience.
In our review of Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, senior video producer Sam Hallahan praised it as “the RPG that so many fans have been waiting for in almost every way.” As Baldur’s Gate 3 continues to dominate the RPG scene, and with many other titles falling short of expectations, Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 stands out as a vast, immersive, and beautifully crafted experience. Launching at the start of 2025, this sequel delivers masterful game design, deep storytelling, and stunning visuals, making it a must-play for RPG enthusiasts.
