For those who found *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2* a bit too easy, Warhorse Studios has exciting news: a new update is on the horizon that promises to crank up the difficulty with a brand-new hardcore mode. This mode will allow players to customize their experience by activating specific perks that impose various negative effects on the protagonist, Henricus, making the gameplay more challenging and immersive.
Players will have the option to select from a range of challenging perks, each designed to add unique complications to the game:
- The "sore back" perk will limit the maximum weight Henricus can carry and increase the risk of injury while foraging for herbs and mushrooms, making resource management more critical.
- With the "heavy footsteps" perk, shoes will wear out faster, and Henricus's steps will be louder, complicating stealth missions and requiring more strategic movement.
- The "dimwit" perk, humorously highlighted by the developers, will slow down experience gain by 20%, making every level-up a harder-earned achievement.
- Choosing the "sweaty" perk will cause Henricus to become dirtier and smellier more quickly, affecting social interactions and adding a new layer of realism to the game.
- Lastly, the "ugly mug" perk will increase the likelihood of random encounters turning into tougher fights, as enemies will no longer surrender and will fight to the bitter end.
These new additions are set to offer a more immersive and challenging experience for players looking for a tougher adventure in the world of *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*. Whether you're a seasoned player or a newcomer seeking a more demanding challenge, this update is sure to enhance your journey through medieval Bohemia.
