Hardcore Mode Coming to Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2

Warhorse Studios is preparing a challenging hardcore mode for Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2. A recent Discord announcement revealed that a closed beta test with 100 volunteers is underway. Recruitment has ended, signaling the mode's nearing completion.

Details remain scarce, but players can anticipate a difficulty level comparable to the first game's brutal hardcore mode. Kingdom Come: Deliverance's hardcore mode famously restricted saves, boosted enemy strength, complicated navigation, reduced rewards, and introduced negative status effects. Deliverance 2's version will likely expand on these elements for an even more demanding playthrough.

Participants are under strict non-disclosure agreements, preventing the sharing of gameplay footage. However, the testing phase's conclusion hints at an imminent official reveal. This hardcore mode will arrive as a free update, ensuring all players can experience the heightened difficulty.

Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 is currently available on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. The addition of the hardcore mode promises to provide a rewarding challenge for both new and veteran players of this immersive medieval RPG.
