Warhorse Studios is putting the finishing touches on a brutally challenging hardcore mode for Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2. The developers recently announced on Discord that a select group of 100 volunteer testers are currently putting the mode through its paces. Recruitment has closed, signaling the final stages of development are underway.
While specifics remain under wraps, expect a difficulty level mirroring—and likely surpassing—the grueling challenge of the original Kingdom Come: Deliverance's hardcore mode. Recall the first game's unforgiving mechanics: limited saves, devastating enemy attacks, treacherous navigation, meager gold rewards, and debilitating negative perks? Prepare for more of the same, but amplified.
Testers are sworn to secrecy, with strict confidentiality agreements preventing the sharing of screenshots or videos. However, this testing phase strongly suggests an official announcement and release date for the hardcore mode are imminent. This enhanced challenge will arrive as a free update, ensuring all players can experience it.
Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 is currently available on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC, offering a richly immersive historical RPG experience set in medieval Bohemia. With the addition of this hardcore mode, Warhorse Studios aims to provide a rewarding challenge for both newcomers and seasoned veterans alike.
