Warhorse Studios is diligently working on a new hardcore difficulty mode for *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*. The developers recently shared via Discord that they've kicked off the testing phase, with a select group of 100 volunteers already recruited to fine-tune the feature before its official launch. With recruitment now closed, it's clear that the studio is ramping up for the final development stages.
While Warhorse Studios has kept the exact details of the hardcore mode close to the chest, fans can anticipate a challenge that builds on 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's highly probable that *Deliverance 2* will push these elements even further, providing an even more demanding experience for players.
Testers involved in the process are under strict confidentiality agreements, preventing them from sharing any screenshots or videos. However, their involvement is a promising sign that official details about the hardcore mode could be on the horizon. This new mode will be rolled out as a complimentary update, ensuring all players can dive into the intensified challenge.
*Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2* is accessible on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC, delivering an immersive historical RPG set in the medieval landscape of Bohemia. With the addition of the hardcore mode, Warhorse Studios is set to appeal to both new players and seasoned veterans looking for a tougher test of their abilities.
