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 they've initiated the testing phase, enlisting a dedicated group of 100 volunteers to rigorously evaluate the feature before its official rollout. Recruitment for these testers has now wrapped up, signaling that Warhorse Studios is pushing forward into the last leg of development.
Although the exact details of the hardcore mode are still under wraps, fans can anticipate a challenge akin to the one presented in the original *Kingdom Come: Deliverance*. The first game's hardcore mode ramped up the difficulty by restricting save options, boosting enemy damage, complicating navigation, slashing gold rewards, and introducing detrimental perks. It's expected that *Deliverance 2* will enhance these mechanics to offer an even more formidable experience.
The testers are under strict confidentiality agreements, preventing them from leaking any screenshots or videos of the hardcore mode. However, their involvement indicates that official details about the feature could be disclosed soon. The hardcore mode will be rolled out as a complimentary update in the future, making sure all players can dive into this intensified challenge.
*Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2* is accessible on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC, delivering an engrossing historical RPG set in the medieval world of Bohemia. With the introduction of the hardcore mode, Warhorse Studios is set to satisfy both new players and seasoned veterans looking for a more demanding test of their skills.
