Warhorse Studios is preparing a challenging hardcore mode for Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2. A recent Discord announcement confirmed that a select group of 100 volunteer testers are currently evaluating this highly anticipated feature. Recruitment for the testing phase is now complete, signaling the mode's imminent release.
Details about the hardcore mode remain confidential, but players can anticipate a difficulty level comparable to, or exceeding, that of the original game's hardcore mode. Kingdom Come: Deliverance's hardcore mode famously limited saves, increased enemy damage, complicated navigation, reduced rewards, and introduced negative character traits. Deliverance 2's version will likely expand on these elements for an even more demanding gameplay experience.
Testers are under strict non-disclosure agreements, preventing the sharing of images or videos. However, the completion of the testing phase suggests an official announcement and release are approaching. This hardcore mode will be a free update, ensuring accessibility for all players.
Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 is currently available on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC, delivering a rich medieval RPG experience set in Bohemia. The addition of the hardcore mode demonstrates Warhorse Studios' commitment to providing engaging challenges for both new and veteran players alike.
