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 testing has commenced, involving a select group of 100 volunteers. With recruitment for testers now closed, it's clear that Warhorse is gearing up for the final push towards release.
Although specifics about the hardcore mode are still under wraps, fans can anticipate a challenge 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's expected that *Deliverance 2* will enhance these mechanics to provide an even more demanding experience.
Testers are under strict confidentiality agreements, preventing them from leaking any screenshots or videos. Their involvement, however, hints at upcoming official announcements about the feature. The hardcore mode is set to be released as a free update, making this heightened challenge accessible to all players.
*Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2* is playable on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC, immersing players in a richly detailed historical RPG set in medieval Bohemia. With the introduction of the hardcore mode, Warhorse Studios is committed to providing an experience that caters to both new players and seasoned veterans looking for a greater test of their skills.
