Warhorse Studios is finalizing a brutally challenging hardcore mode for Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2. A recent Discord announcement revealed that a select group of 100 volunteer testers are currently evaluating this highly anticipated feature. Recruitment has closed, signifying the mode's imminent release.
Details remain scarce, but players can anticipate a difficulty level mirroring, and potentially surpassing, the demanding experience of the original game's hardcore mode. Kingdom Come: Deliverance's hardcore mode famously restricted saves, amplified enemy strength, complicated navigation, reduced rewards, and introduced detrimental perks. Deliverance 2's version is expected to expand on these elements for an even more unforgiving gameplay experience.
Under strict non-disclosure agreements, testers are barred from sharing any visual content. However, this testing phase strongly suggests an official announcement and release of the hardcore mode is drawing near. This challenging addition 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, offering a richly detailed historical RPG set in medieval Bohemia. The inclusion of the hardcore mode demonstrates Warhorse Studios' commitment to providing a rewarding challenge for both newcomers and veteran players alike.
