Warhorse Studios is preparing a brutally challenging hardcore mode for Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2. A recent Discord announcement revealed that a select group of 100 volunteer testers are currently evaluating this demanding new feature. Recruitment for the testing phase is now complete, signaling the mode's imminent arrival.
Details remain scarce, but players can anticipate a difficulty level comparable to, or exceeding, the first game's notoriously unforgiving hardcore mode. Kingdom Come: Deliverance's hardcore mode famously restricted saving, amplified enemy damage, complicated navigation, slashed gold rewards, and introduced detrimental perks. Deliverance 2's iteration will likely expand on these elements for an even more grueling experience.
Testers are under strict non-disclosure agreements, preventing the release of screenshots or gameplay footage. However, this testing phase strongly suggests an official announcement and release date are near. This challenging new 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, immersing players in a historically rich RPG set in medieval Bohemia. The addition of the hardcore mode promises to provide a thrilling challenge for both newcomers and veterans alike.
