Warhorse Studios is in the final stages of perfecting a hardcore difficulty mode for *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*. The developers have announced through their Discord channel that they've begun testing this new feature with a select group of 100 volunteers. The recruitment for these testers has now concluded, signaling that the studio is gearing up for the final touches before the mode's official release.

Although the specifics of the hardcore mode are still under wraps, fans can anticipate a challenge akin to the one experienced in the original *Kingdom Come: Deliverance*. In the first game, the hardcore mode ramped up the difficulty by limiting save options, boosting enemy damage, complicating navigation, decreasing gold rewards, and introducing negative perks. It's highly likely that *Deliverance 2* will enhance these mechanics to offer an even more formidable experience.

Testers are under strict confidentiality agreements and are not allowed to share any screenshots or videos of the hardcore mode. Their involvement, however, hints that official details might be released soon. The hardcore mode will be rolled out as a free update, ensuring all players can access this heightened challenge.

*Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2* is playable on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC, providing an immersive historical RPG experience set in medieval Bohemia. With the introduction of the hardcore mode, Warhorse Studios is set to cater to both newcomers and seasoned veterans looking for an even greater test of their skills.
