Warhorse Studios is in the final stages of developing a hardcore difficulty mode for Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2. The studio recently shared on Discord that they've kicked off the testing phase, enlisting a select group of 100 volunteers to rigorously evaluate this new feature. With recruitment now closed, it's clear that Warhorse is pushing forward into the last stretch of development.
While the specifics of the hardcore mode are still under wraps, fans can anticipate a challenge that echoes the intensity of the original Kingdom Come: Deliverance. The first game's hardcore mode ramped up the difficulty with limited save options, heightened enemy damage, more complex navigation, reduced gold rewards, and the addition of negative perks. It's highly probable that Deliverance 2 will enhance these elements, offering an even more demanding experience.
The testers involved are under strict confidentiality agreements, barred from leaking any screenshots or videos of the hardcore mode. However, their involvement signals that official details might be disclosed soon. Excitingly, the hardcore mode will be rolled out as a complimentary update, ensuring all players can take on this heightened challenge.
Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 is accessible on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC, providing an immersive historical RPG adventure set in medieval Bohemia. With the introduction of the hardcore mode, Warhorse Studios is set to appeal to both newcomers and seasoned players looking for a greater test of their gaming prowess.
