Warhorse Studios is preparing a brutally challenging hardcore mode for Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2. The studio recently confirmed via Discord that a select group of 100 volunteer testers are currently evaluating the mode. Recruitment is closed, signifying the final stages of development are underway.
Details about the hardcore mode remain confidential, but players can anticipate a difficulty level comparable to, or exceeding, the first game's notoriously demanding hardcore option. Kingdom Come: Deliverance's hardcore mode famously limited saves, increased enemy lethality, complicated navigation, reduced rewards, and introduced detrimental perks. Deliverance 2's version is expected to expand on these features for an even more unforgiving experience.
Testers are under strict non-disclosure agreements, preventing the release of any gameplay footage or screenshots. However, the testing phase's completion suggests an imminent official announcement regarding the mode's features and release date. 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, immersing players in a medieval Bohemian RPG. The addition of this hardcore mode aims to provide a rewarding challenge for both new and veteran players alike.
