Hardcore Mode Coming to Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2

Warhorse Studios is preparing a grueling hardcore mode for Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2. A recent Discord announcement revealed that a select group of 100 volunteer testers are currently evaluating this challenging new feature. Recruitment for the testing phase is now complete, signifying the mode's imminent release.

While specifics remain confidential, players can anticipate a difficulty level comparable to, or exceeding, the first game's hardcore mode. Kingdom Come: Deliverance's hardcore mode famously limited saves, boosted enemy damage, complicated navigation, reduced rewards, and introduced negative status effects. Deliverance 2's hardcore mode will likely expand on these elements for an even more intense experience.

Testers are under strict non-disclosure agreements, preventing the release of screenshots or gameplay footage. However, the completion of the testing phase strongly suggests an official announcement and release date are near. This hardcore mode will be a free update, ensuring accessibility for all players.

Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 is currently available on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC, providing a richly detailed medieval RPG experience set in Bohemia. The addition of the hardcore mode demonstrates Warhorse Studios' commitment to providing a challenging and rewarding experience for both new and veteran players.
