Warhorse Studios is putting the final touches on a brutally challenging hardcore mode for Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2. Recently, they announced on Discord that a select group of 100 volunteer testers are currently putting it through its paces. Recruitment has now closed, signaling the mode is nearing completion.
While details remain scarce, expect a difficulty level comparable to, or exceeding, the first game's infamous hardcore mode. Recall the original's brutal limitations: restricted saving, amplified enemy damage, treacherous navigation, meager gold rewards, and punishing negative perks? Deliverance 2's hardcore mode will likely build upon this foundation, promising an even more unforgiving experience.
Testers are under strict NDAs, preventing any leaks via screenshots or videos. However, this testing phase strongly suggests an official announcement and release date are on the horizon. This hardcore mode will arrive as a free update, ensuring all players can experience the heightened challenge.
Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 is available now on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC, offering a captivating historical RPG journey through medieval Bohemia. With the upcoming hardcore mode, Warhorse Studios aims to satisfy both newcomers and veteran players craving a truly demanding test of their mettle.
