Update 2: Warhorse's PR Manager Tobi Stolz-Zwilling has now shared the following message on Twitter, explaining how the studio is investigating how the listing appeared on Nintendo's official release schedule in the first place:
"As much as I would love a #kingdomcomedeliverance version on Switch - unfortunately there is none planned at the moment. We are investigating who was so ambitious to think differently but as for now... meh meh meeeeh..... Sorry guys."
Update: YouTube channel Sexy Biscuit has reached out to Warhorse Studios, the developer of the game, and been told that the listing is a mistake. DMM games, the distributor of Kingdom Come: Deliverance in Japan, has plans to publish a new version for the PS4 in that region, but not the Switch.
While it's normal for companies to deny knowledge of upcoming games before they're in a position to officially comment, it would seem that Warhouse is being pretty clear that this is an error.
Original Story [Mon 4th Jan, 2021 01:15 GMT]: Warhorse Studios' 2018 medieval open-world role-playing title Kingdom Come: Deliverance has been spotted on Nintendo's Switch release schedule.
This particular version is listed as the "Royal Edition" and will apparently be released as a packaged and downloadable title on 18th February - the same day as Silver 2425. Here's a look:
There's been no official announcement for a Switch version of Kingdom Come: Deliverance just yet, so if this is accurate, be on the lookout for a proper confirmation in the near future.
In the meantime, here's a bit about what to expect (via Steam):
"You're Henry, the son of a blacksmith. Thrust into a raging civil war, you watch helplessly as invaders storm your village and slaughter your friends and family. Narrowly escaping the brutal attack, you grab your sword to fight back. Avenge the death of your parents and help repel the invading forces!"
This surprise listing obviously follows on from last week, when Rare's classic N64 titles Banjo-Kazooie and Blast Corps were spotted for a Wii U Virtual Console release. In the end, Nintendo said it was a mistake.

Oh nice, I'm interested.
Though I think it's on gamepass or something so... I dunno. Just hope it isn't too expensive.
This would be beyond impressive. Like, Witcher 3 levels of impressive.
This was an epic game, an incredible one that really gives a realistic feel of what combat was like in those times. Without the flashy distraction of magic this game can be a bit brutally difficult at times, but never unfair. I really enjoyed this game and would probably buy it again because I had to sell my last copy after completing it.
I bet sadly if possible it's gonna be the cloud version
Wow really, thats actually pretty awesome.
This game was a disappointment according to reviewers and gamers alike

Dump any image you want into here, it should bring up a source or set you on the path to finding one.
@Mgene15 it currently holds a 9/10 on Steam, the console versions didn't fare too well in terms of performance though. I doubt it will run well on Switch, but it was by no means a disappointment.
Definitely a January Direct on the way. Rejoice!
@TheFullAndy Wouldn't this prove the opposite? I mean, you'd think Nintendo would keep this port secret until the Direct was shown.
@Mgene15 It was divisive, but there are definitely quite a few fans of the game.
The console version was also pretty broken on release, which didn’t help reviews - but it runs a lot better now.
@Tourtus
Nah this kind of leak happens all the time before a big Direct and let's face it we are due one!
Have this game on steam, totally forgot about it.
Its a great game i will double dip if it comes on switch and done well.
@TheLightSpirit senran kagura series.....it's a fan service type of anime with ninja action lol
even on high end pc it can struggle so maybe a cloud version
I will be shocked if this isn't a Cloud version.
This game was trash. They had some good ideas but the execution was awful. The voice acting was some of the worst I've heard. I would compel most to give this a pass.
Witcher 4 in the flesh.....
Good news for Nintendo Switch owners, but I myself won't be playing this one. I watched my brother play in on PS4 Pro for a little while and wasn't very impressed with what I saw. Good for the Nintendo ecosystem though!
God damn my head is in the gutter lately.
Well with a title like "Kingdom Come" this day and age, I'm sure there's some people who would think it's something akin to Meet N' F*ck Kingdom...
This really wasn’t great. It was ambitious, sure, but the jank was insane and the save system was horrible. Not to mention the downright childish moments like getting an ‘alpha male’ bonus for going to a brothel. Pick a tone and stick with it.
Wasn't this kinda rough on the base consoles already? My hopes aren't high that it'll be a good port. This feels like a game that needs to be on next-gen instead.
All the big titles are welcome news for Switch. Let's hope it's been handled by someone of the level of Panicbutton - if it is coming at all, that is.
Anxiously looking forward to an urban open-world game this year though.
If they are saying a physical release (packaged? Not sure if that's physical but what else could it mean) then I don't see how it would be a cloud version. Code in a box would be stupid, but not overly surprising I suppose.
Anyway, great news. I love a bit of jank and never got around to this on pc.
The game's track record elsewhere has many suspect a cloud version, but... "packaged"? That would have to be a first in my memory - selling game boxes not even with a game download code but with a stream client download code. So colour me cautiously optimistic.
Meh, it was a pretty janky game on console so I doubt it will run well on Switch.
Is this all we've got to be excited about - ports of 2 year old games, where are all the new game announcements?
At least SilkSong is coming!
I didn't really enjoy what I played on PS4, the combat was too off-putting for me and if the load times on PS4 Pro were bad I can only imagine how bad the Switch version's will be.
@TheLightSpirit A scratch? Your arms off!
Tis but a flesh wound!
Reading up on this game has me interested. 2018 console versions seemed to be a good game lacking some polish so hopefully they can polish this beauty up and let it fly on switch.
@Mr-Fuggles777 LOL! The year has just started, be patient. And there are some new games coming pretty soon: Bravely Default II, Shin Megami Tensei V, Monster Hunter Rise and Balan Wonderworld, for example.
WOW... the bug king Will be on switch ? No thanks... Terribile game...
@Quarth, lol just trying to plan purchases,
ive got 2 new consoles to buy this year and the constant shadow drops on Switch are ruining my budget planning. Would a 12 month release schedule kill Nintendo?
We all know some form of Zelda game will be coming out for the anniversary, why shroud it in mystery and announce it a week before release like 3d World
Saddened by some of the comments on here. This is a fantastic game, and a remarkable first effort from Cezch developper Warhorse. It's got a few quirks, sure, but it's innovative, well-written and very well acted. I spent 200 hours on it and really loved it. Curious to see if and how it can run on the Switch though. On PC, it's much more demanding than the Witcher 3.
This is going to look and run badly I bet. Xbox One and PS4 struggled to run this game. Just hope work has been put into this port, loved it on PC
As long as it has the dlc ill give it go.
Unexpected and very good news. Was always interested in this game.
Had a rough launch on consoles, but turned out to be pretty great. Its hard-core tho, but if you like survival elements, and more realistic combat, I'd say check it out. It slowly sinks its hooks into ya, and doesn't let go. Ill rebuy if its a decent port.
@jodudeit Is it? The game looks and runs like doodoo. And I don't think that's because it's demanding, more so because it was just bad.
@Octane It might look and run dodo on console, but on PC it’s beautiful.
Unless this is only going to be playable via the cloud, I don’t see how it’s going to run on Switch😅
@Hughesy (PC) games are scalable. This game is smaller than TW3. And just as sparse and barren as TW3, so I don't see why not. I'll still look and play awful though.
@Octane Being smaller has nothing to do with how it runs. Maps stream data as needed, not the whole map. Witcher 3 also ran like dodo on consoles for a long time. CDPR are a huge AAA studio, Warhorse studio isn’t.
Youtube channel reached out okay. Of course they gonna tell some youtuber yes we are releasing switch version.
Do they hire absolute morons? Seems like an awful lot of “mistakes” going on there...
Easy come easy go...
it runs like a dogs dinner on a series x never mind on a good pc. Im guessing graphic novel on the switch
This mistakes needs to be stopped.
The true mistake was making an article about this in the first place.
Sooo announcement next week then?
I don't know about that article title. It gives people who don't click false hope.
So...why was this marked news? Shouldn't it have been reported as rumor?
Okay so, this was on the official Switch release schedule? And apparently they're only releasing this Royal Edition on PS4 and that's all news there is to it? Come on, i mean i don't see this game coming to Switch as anything other than a Cloud version, but there's gotta be more to it than just a game that was wrongly thought (by Nintendo themselves no less) to release on Switch.
A PC game I got for free on the Epic store, and can play anywhere via GeforceNow anyway.
Soooo, any new news on Ryza2 or Bravely2
@Ryu_Niiyama Indeed. See: Ori and the Will of the Wisps.
No way this is coming to switch, even after seeing the article updates saying It was a mistake, its obvious its not coming. Game ran terrible on xbox one and ps4 so how the hell are they gonna get it to run on switch? This port is not gonna happen and if it does it wouldn't be worth picking up, even if it and the dlc was packaged together and priced at $30.
@Hughesy Not entirely true. There's a reason even games like TW3 are broken up in several smaller maps. You can't all stitch them together as a single big map and expect everything to be working just fine. Size is a limiting factor, even if they only load smaller portions at a time.
Mainly PS4 and PC player, great game, still buggy would like to see a switch release in hopes of Warhorse continuing to update the game. AFAIK they ceased updates in 2019. While fun and world expanding there is a lot of wasted potential on the DLCs. I just want more content!
