Warhorse Studios is diligently working on the final touches for a new hardcore difficulty mode in *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*. The developers recently shared via Discord that they have initiated the testing phase, enlisting a dedicated group of 100 volunteers to rigorously evaluate this feature before its official rollout. Recruitment for these testers has now ended, signaling that the studio is advancing into the concluding stages of development.
Though details about the hardcore mode are still closely guarded, fans can anticipate a challenge level akin to that of the original *Kingdom Come: Deliverance*. The first game's hardcore mode ramped up the difficulty by restricting save options, boosting enemy damage, complicating navigation, decreasing gold rewards, and adding negative perks. It is highly probable that *Deliverance 2* will enhance these mechanics to provide an even more demanding experience.
Testers participating in this phase are under strict confidentiality agreements, preventing them from sharing any screenshots or videos of the hardcore mode. Nonetheless, their involvement hints at forthcoming official announcements regarding the feature. The hardcore mode will be introduced as a complimentary update, ensuring that all players can access this heightened challenge.
*Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2* is accessible on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC, delivering an immersive historical RPG experience set in medieval Bohemia. With the upcoming hardcore mode, Warhorse Studios is committed to catering to both newcomers and seasoned veterans, offering them a more rigorous test of their skills.
