Hans Capon Himself Accidentally Leaked A Year-Old Version of Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2

If you’ve ever been curious about what Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 might have looked like a year ago, your curiosity can now be satisfied. During a recent Twitch stream, Luke Dale, the man behind Hans Capon, inadvertently provided a sneak peek. Known as Lord Hans Capon, Dale occasionally streams Kingdom Come: Deliverance to a large audience. This time, however, he decided to showcase what appeared to be Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, only to discover, along with his viewers, that something was significantly amiss.

Glitches, Flickering Water, and Chubby Rabbits

From the beginning of the game, there were significant performance issues, which Dale initially attributed to his streaming connection. Unfortunately, these problems escalated. During the initial hour of play, players observed textures that flickered, smoke effects behaving erratically, and a lake shimmering as if it were a disco ball. Character models appeared rougher than anticipated, but the real standout issue was the in-game rabbit indicator.

In the sequel to Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, instead of the usual rabbit icon indicating pursuit or combat, the rabbits in Dale’s version are distinctly different – smaller, rounder, and let’s face it, rather cute.

The Truth Behind The Outdated Build

Early in the stream, Dale casually mentioned that he hadn’t downloaded the day-one patch. He even showed his PS5 download queue, revealing that the patch was a whopping 80GB and would take nearly nine hours to install. Not wanting to wait, he jumped straight into the game – unaware that he was actually playing a one-year-old build.

Warhorse Studios quickly caught wind of the situation and, to their horror, realized that Dale was inadvertently showcasing an outdated version of the game. After some private messages, Dale even hopped on a live call with a developer, who could only advise him to please download the patch.

Realizing his mistake, Dale cut the stream short and returned the next day with the fully updated version. Fortunately, both he and Warhorse took the mishap with good humor, making it one of the more amusing pre-launch blunders in gaming history.
