Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2’s Hardcore Mode is Now Live

BBG News

In the event that life in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 doesn’t already feel challenging enough, Warhorse Studios has introduced a new feature – patch 1.2.4 – which includes a Hardcore Mode. When embarking on a game with Hardcore settings, players will be required to select three disadvantageous traits from a selection of ten before they begin their adventure.

These continuously function and encompass penalties like a 20% reduction in Experience accumulation, reduced carrying capacity, and increased sounds when moving. The Somnambulant trait makes Henry sleepwalk, while Bashful disables map assistance. When these traits are combined, Warhorse Studio explains that you might wake up in a random spot. Due to the absence of fast travel or the ability to locate your position on the map, unexpected situations arise.

This update encompasses additional elements and enhancements such as adjusting herb shop prices, giving Henry a bald haircut, rectifying crashes, and much more. For comprehensive details, please refer to the information provided below.

As a gaming enthusiast, I’m thrilled to share that the sequel to Kingdom Come: Deliverance, titled simply Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, is now playable on Xbox Series X/S, PS5, and PC platforms. The game developers have hinted at an upcoming patch featuring horse racing, though the exact release date remains undisclosed. What’s more exciting is that the first paid DLC, Brushes With Death, is slated for release this Summer!
