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 volunteer testers are currently evaluating this highly anticipated feature. Recruitment has closed, signifying the mode is nearing completion.
While specifics remain confidential, players can anticipate a difficulty level comparable to, or exceeding, the first game's notoriously demanding hardcore mode. Kingdom Come: Deliverance's hardcore mode famously restricted saves, 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 unforgiving 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 imminent. This hardcore mode will be a free post-launch update, ensuring accessibility for all players.
Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 is currently available on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC, delivering a richly detailed historical RPG set in medieval Bohemia. The inclusion of this hardcore mode demonstrates Warhorse Studios' commitment to providing a challenging and rewarding experience for both new and veteran players.
