Warhorse Studios is preparing a challenging hardcore mode for Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2. A recent Discord announcement confirmed the commencement of the testing phase, with 100 volunteers tasked with evaluating the mode before its public launch. Recruitment for these testers has now ended, signaling the feature's nearing completion.
Details about the hardcore mode remain confidential, but players can anticipate a difficulty level comparable to, or exceeding, the first game's brutal hardcore option. Kingdom Come: Deliverance's hardcore mode famously restricted saving, amplified enemy damage, complicated navigation, reduced rewards, and introduced detrimental perks. Deliverance 2's version is expected to expand upon these elements for an even more demanding gameplay experience.
Due to strict non-disclosure agreements, testers are prevented from sharing screenshots or videos. However, this testing phase strongly suggests an imminent official reveal of the hardcore mode's features. This enhanced difficulty setting will be delivered as a free update, ensuring accessibility for all players.
Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 is currently available on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC, providing a richly detailed medieval RPG experience set in Bohemia. The inclusion of the hardcore mode aims to satisfy both new and veteran players looking for a significant increase in challenge.
