The fan-made modification project KCD Multiplayer has officially launched into open beta for Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, bringing synchronized player-versus-player combat, horses, and proximity voice chat to the traditionally single-player medieval RPG. Developed independently from creators Warhorse Studios, the mod allows players to explore Bohemia together on custom-run servers.
Open Beta Launch and Core Multiplayer Features
While the base game is strictly a single-player experience, this fan-made project introduces working PvP duels, functional ranged weapons like bows and crossbows, and synchronized mechanics such as horse riding, doors, chests, weather systems, and the day-night cycle.
Combat systems like blocks and counterattacks function across connected clients. According to project details, the game world is adjusted so that players do not experience desynchronization issues like walking through closed doors as ghosts or seeing differing weather conditions in the exact same spot.

Server Hosting and Roleplay Infrastructure
The modification functions as a platform for community-driven game modes rather than a single pre-made mode, drawing structural comparisons to FiveM. Early community implementations feature a basic roleplay server set in Kuttenberg (Kutná Hora), equipped with local chat, roleplay commands, trading, and horse summoning.
Communication relies on a built-in proximity voice chat system that scales audio volume based on the physical distance between avatars in the game world. Because the project remains in an early beta phase, the original story campaign and quests are not currently functional, and players should expect technical bugs during setup and gameplay.
