KCD 2 Hardcore:  New Challenges Await

Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 players who craved a more challenging experience will soon get their wish. Warhorse Studios is releasing an update introducing a hardcore mode, packed with selectable perks designed to significantly increase the difficulty. These perks aren't just minor inconveniences; they actively hinder Henricus, altering core gameplay mechanics.

Several challenging perks will be available, each adding a unique layer of difficulty:

  • Sore Back: Reduces Henricus's carrying capacity and increases the risk of injury while gathering herbs and mushrooms.
  • Heavy Footsteps: Accelerates shoe wear and makes Henricus's movements noisier, impacting stealth.
  • Dimwit: Reduces experience gain by 20%. (Yes, you read that right, 20% slower experience gain!)
  • Sweaty: Causes Henricus to get dirtier and smellier faster, affecting social interactions.
  • Ugly Mug: Increases the likelihood of encounters escalating into difficult fights, as enemies will refuse to surrender.

These new additions promise a far more immersive and demanding experience, perfect for players seeking a truly grueling adventure in the world of Kingdom Come Deliverance 2.
