Hardcore Mode Coming to Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2

Warhorse Studios is polishing a brutally challenging hardcore mode for Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2. A recent Discord announcement revealed that a select group of 100 volunteers are currently testing this feature. Recruitment has closed, signaling the mode is nearing completion.

While specifics remain under wraps, expect a difficulty level reminiscent of the original Kingdom Come: Deliverance. The first game's hardcore mode famously limited saves, boosted enemy damage, complicated navigation, slashed gold rewards, and introduced punishing negative perks. Deliverance 2's version will likely build upon this, promising an even more unforgiving experience.

Testers are bound by strict NDAs, preventing the sharing of screenshots or videos. Their involvement, however, hints at an imminent official reveal. This hardcore mode will arrive as a free update, ensuring all players can embrace the heightened difficulty.

Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 is available now on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC, immersing players in medieval Bohemia. With the hardcore mode, Warhorse Studios aims to satisfy both newcomers and veterans craving a truly grueling test of their mettle.
