Warhorse Studios is in the final stages of enhancing *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2* with an exciting new hardcore difficulty mode. The developers have recently shared on Discord that they've initiated a testing phase, involving a select group of 100 volunteers. These testers were chosen to rigorously evaluate the feature ahead of its official release. With the recruitment phase now completed, it's clear that Warhorse Studios is gearing up for the final touches on this much-anticipated addition.
Although the specifics of the hardcore mode are still being kept under wraps, fans can anticipate a challenge level akin to that found in 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, diminishing gold rewards, and introducing negative perks. It's reasonable to expect that *Deliverance 2* will expand on these elements, offering an even more intense experience.
The testers are under strict confidentiality agreements, which prevent them from leaking any screenshots or videos of the hardcore mode. However, their involvement hints that official details could be forthcoming. Excitingly, the hardcore mode will be released as a free update, making it accessible to all players looking for an extra challenge.
*Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2* is available on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC, delivering an immersive historical RPG set in the heart of medieval Bohemia. With the addition of the hardcore mode, Warhorse Studios is poised to satisfy both newcomers and seasoned players craving a more demanding test of their skills.
