Hardcore Mode Coming to Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2

Warhorse Studios is putting the finishing touches on a brutally challenging hardcore mode for Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2. The developers recently announced on Discord that a select group of 100 volunteer testers are currently putting it through its paces. Recruitment for this testing phase is now complete, signaling the mode is nearing its official release.

While details remain scarce, expect a difficulty level comparable to, or exceeding, the notoriously tough hardcore mode in the first game. Recall the original Kingdom Come: Deliverance's hardcore mode? Limited saves, devastating enemy attacks, treacherous landscapes, meager gold rewards, and punishing debuffs. Deliverance 2's hardcore mode is poised to build upon these elements, promising an even more unforgiving experience.

Testers are under strict non-disclosure agreements, preventing the sharing of screenshots or videos. However, this testing phase strongly suggests an official announcement with details is imminent. This hardcore mode will be a free update, ensuring all players can embrace the heightened challenge.

Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 is available now on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC, offering a richly immersive historical RPG set in medieval Bohemia. With the addition of this hardcore mode, Warhorse Studios aims to satisfy both newcomers and veterans craving a truly demanding test of their mettle.
