Warhorse Studios is preparing a grueling hardcore difficulty 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, signaling the mode's imminent release.
While specifics remain confidential, players can anticipate a difficulty level comparable to, or exceeding, the demanding hardcore mode in the original game. Kingdom Come: Deliverance's hardcore mode famously limited saves, amplified enemy damage, complicated navigation, reduced rewards, and introduced detrimental perks. Deliverance 2's hardcore mode is expected to expand upon these elements for an even more unforgiving experience.
Testers are bound by non-disclosure agreements, preventing the sharing of screenshots or gameplay footage. However, the completion of the testing phase strongly suggests an official announcement and release of the hardcore mode is approaching. This challenging new mode will be a free update, ensuring all players can experience the heightened difficulty.
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 challenging and rewarding experience for both new and veteran players.
