Hardcore Mode Coming to Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2

Warhorse Studios is polishing a brutally challenging hardcore mode for Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2. A recent Discord announcement revealed that a select group of 100 volunteers are currently beta testing this highly anticipated feature. Recruitment has closed, signaling the mode's imminent completion.

While details remain scarce, players can anticipate a difficulty level mirroring, and likely surpassing, the first game's notoriously unforgiving hardcore mode. Kingdom Come: Deliverance's hardcore mode famously restricted saves, boosted enemy damage, complicated navigation, slashed gold rewards, and introduced detrimental perks. Deliverance 2's iteration is expected to expand on these elements for an even more grueling experience.

Under strict non-disclosure agreements, testers are prevented from sharing any media. However, this testing phase strongly suggests an official announcement and release date are on the horizon. This hardcore mode will be a free post-launch 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 addition of the hardcore mode demonstrates Warhorse Studios' commitment to providing a compelling challenge for both new and veteran players alike.
