Hardcore Mode Coming to Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2

Warhorse Studios is putting the finishing touches on a hardcore difficulty mode for Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2. The developers recently announced on Discord that a testing phase, involving 100 carefully selected volunteers, is underway. Recruitment has now closed, signaling the mode's imminent release.

While specifics remain confidential, expect a challenge reminiscent of the first game's brutal hardcore mode. Kingdom Come: Deliverance's hardcore mode famously limited saves, increased enemy damage, complicated navigation, reduced rewards, and introduced negative perks. Deliverance 2's version will likely build upon and expand these punishing mechanics.

Testers are under strict NDAs, preventing any leaks via screenshots or videos. However, this testing phase strongly suggests an official announcement and release are on the horizon. This hardcore mode will arrive as a free update, ensuring accessibility for all players.

Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 is currently available on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC, offering a richly immersive medieval RPG experience set in Bohemia. The addition of the hardcore mode promises to satisfy both newcomers and veterans craving a truly demanding challenge.
