Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 Introduces Hardcore Mode

Warhorse Studios is in the final stages of developing a hardcore difficulty mode for *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*. The studio recently shared via Discord that they've kicked off the testing phase, enlisting a dedicated group of 100 volunteers to put the feature through its paces before its official launch. With tester recruitment now closed, it's clear that Warhorse is pushing forward to refine this challenging addition.

Although the specifics of the hardcore mode are still under wraps, fans can anticipate a challenge level akin to that of the original *Kingdom Come: Deliverance*. In the first game, the hardcore mode ramped up the difficulty by restricting save options, boosting enemy damage, complicating navigation, slashing gold rewards, and introducing negative perks. It's expected that *Deliverance 2* will enhance these elements to offer an even more demanding experience.

Testers are under strict confidentiality agreements, preventing them from leaking any screenshots or videos of the hardcore mode. However, their involvement hints that official details might be shared soon. The good news is that this hardcore mode will be rolled out as a free update, making it accessible to all players looking for an intensified challenge.

*Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2* is available on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC, providing an immersive historical RPG experience set in medieval Bohemia. With the introduction of the hardcore mode, Warhorse Studios is set to appeal to both new players and seasoned veterans eager for a tougher test of their skills.
