Warhorse Studios is in the final stages of developing a new hardcore difficulty mode for *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*. The developers have recently shared on Discord that they've initiated the testing phase, involving a select group of 100 volunteers who will assess this new feature before it goes live. The recruitment for these testers is now complete, signaling that the studio is advancing into the last leg of development.
Although the specifics of the hardcore mode are still closely guarded, fans can anticipate a challenge level akin to what was experienced 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, lowering gold rewards, and adding negative perks. It's highly probable that *Deliverance 2* will enhance these elements, pushing players to their limits with an even more demanding experience.
Participants in the testing phase are under strict confidentiality agreements and cannot share any screenshots or videos of the hardcore mode. However, their involvement hints that official details may be forthcoming. The hardcore mode will be introduced as a free update, making this enhanced challenge accessible to all players.
*Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2* is available across PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC platforms, delivering an immersive historical RPG experience set in medieval Bohemia. With the inclusion of the hardcore mode, Warhorse Studios is set to appeal to both new players and seasoned veterans looking for a formidable test of their skills.
