Warhorse Studios is preparing a 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 new feature. Recruitment has ended, signaling the mode's imminent completion.
Details remain scarce, but players can anticipate a difficulty level comparable to the first game's hardcore mode. Kingdom Come: Deliverance's hardcore mode famously limited saves, increased enemy aggression, complicated navigation, reduced rewards, and introduced negative status effects. Deliverance 2's version is expected to expand on these elements for an even more demanding gameplay experience.
Testers are under strict non-disclosure agreements, preventing the release of screenshots or gameplay videos. However, their participation strongly suggests an official announcement and release are near. 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, offering a deep historical RPG experience set in medieval Bohemia. The upcoming hardcore mode promises to provide a significant challenge for both new and experienced players alike.
