Warhorse Studios is finalizing a brutally challenging hardcore mode for Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2. A recent Discord announcement revealed that a select group of 100 volunteers are currently testing the mode before its public launch. Recruitment for these testers has ended, signaling the feature's imminent release.
While specifics remain confidential, players can anticipate a difficulty level mirroring the demanding experience of the original game's hardcore mode. Kingdom Come: Deliverance's hardcore mode famously limited saves, amplified enemy damage, complicated navigation, reduced rewards, and introduced detrimental perks. Deliverance 2's iteration is expected to expand upon these elements for an even more unforgiving gameplay experience.
Testers are under strict non-disclosure agreements, preventing the sharing of any gameplay footage. However, this testing phase strongly suggests an official announcement and release date are near. The hardcore mode will be a free update, making this heightened challenge accessible to all players.
Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 is currently available on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC, providing a richly detailed historical RPG set in medieval Bohemia. The addition of the hardcore mode aims to satisfy both new players and veteran RPG enthusiasts seeking a truly grueling test of their skills.
