Kingdom Come 2’s Hardcore Mode: Release Date & Challenges Revealed

The much-anticipated Hardcore Mode for the upcoming sequel to “Kingdom Come: Deliverance,” titled “Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2,” is set to release on April 15th, narrowing down its previously mentioned launch window. This will mark the second of three free DLCs from Warhorse Studios, coming out in the Spring before the paid expansions arrive later this year. The original game’s Hardcore Mode was well-loved by players, and they have eagerly awaited it for the sequel. Soon, they can increase the game’s challenge, with permanent in-game deaths accompanying all the new hardcore additions. “Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2” already boasts a challenging learning curve, and Hardcore Mode will further intensify that difficulty level.

In the sequel to “Kingdom Come: Deliverance,” the “Hardcore Mode” amps up the challenge in various manners. The main hike in toughness is due to the Hardcore Perks. At game commencement, players need to choose three of these perks. Each one will introduce a somewhat humorous yet harmful effect on Henry. These perks instill permanent disadvantages that cannot be reversed, compelling players to adapt or face defeat.

In addition to these advantages, players of Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 will find that fast travel is no longer an option, and auto-save functionality has been taken out. The user interface, both during combat and peacefully, has undergone substantial reduction, with the health and stamina bars completely eliminated. Lastly, Henry’s location on the map will no longer be indicated, and the compass no longer displays cardinal directions.

For newcomers, we recommend starting with a less challenging difficulty in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 before diving into Hardcore Mode. The initial stages can be tricky because there are numerous systems and mechanics to grasp. While it’s not necessary to complete the entire game first, spending some time playing and getting accustomed to the game will make theHardcore Mode experience smoother and less daunting.
