Kingdom Come 2 Introduces Enhanced Difficulty with 'Hardcore Mode'

Warhorse Studios is preparing a grueling hardcore mode for Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2. A recent Discord announcement revealed that a select group of 100 volunteers are currently testing this challenging new feature. Recruitment has closed, signaling the mode's imminent completion.

Details about the hardcore mode remain scarce, but players can anticipate a difficulty level comparable to, or exceeding, the first game's notoriously difficult 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 will likely expand on these elements for an even more demanding playthrough.

Due to strict non-disclosure agreements, testers are prevented from sharing any images or footage. However, this testing phase strongly suggests an official unveiling of the hardcore mode is on the horizon. This challenging addition 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, immersing players in a historically rich RPG set within medieval Bohemia. The inclusion of the hardcore mode demonstrates Warhorse Studios' commitment to providing a rewarding experience for both newcomers and veteran players seeking a significant challenge.
