Notice to the bravest (or craziest) players: Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 is shifting into high gear. As expected, Warhorse Studios is rolling out a brand new Hardcore mode today, April 15, 2025. A mode that lives up to its name. Here, there's no mercy. No help. And above all, no room for error.
A mode designed to suffer... but in the right way for Kingdom Come Deliverance 2
With this update With the free update of Kingdom Come Deliverance 2, the developers want to offer an even more immersive and realistic experience. When you start a game in Hardcore, you will have to start with a cruel choice: select 3 penalties from 10 possible handicaps.
And some are downright twisted. For example, a bad back that limits the weight you can carry. Or even worse: sleepwalking. Yes, your character may wake up in a completely random location... sometimes even in areas impossible to reach otherwise. In short, each start of the game will be an adventure in itself.
No more map, no more indications, get on with it
But Kingdom Come Diversion 2's Hardcore mode doesn't stop there. Warhorse Studios goes even further by removing almost all the usual landmarks. In Hardcore, there's no more map. No more markers. No more clues. Even fast travel disappears. You'll have to observe the world, spot elements of the scenery, and memorize the routes. In other words, you'll really have to figure things out on your own. And that's exactly what fans of the genre are looking for.
Obviously, this mode isn't for everyone. It's clearly designed for players who are already familiar with the world of Kingdom Come Deliverance 2. But for those who like demanding games, this Hardcore mode has something to appeal to. It's the perfect opportunity to rediscover Bohemia from a different angle. More authentic. Wilder. And much more stressful.
Other changes with the patch
On the In addition to gameplay, several adjustments have been made to improve the overall balance of Kingdom Come 2. Herb prices have been revised to prevent them from exceeding their initial purchase price. A cosmetic addition has also been made: Henry can now sport a completely shaved haircut. In addition, a shadow display bug in certain weather conditions has been fixed.
On the technical side, the patch fixes various recurring crashes, particularly related to The use of in-game dice and the mass installation of mods. The visual model of the flower crown has also been fixed. Several skills that were causing problems, such as Sagittarius, Salva or Wildrider, now work normally, even after being unlocked in previous versions of the game.
Xbox players also benefit from a specific fix: an issue preventing the loading of certain saves linked to the Gold Edition or the Season Pass has been resolved. Good news for those who had lost access to their progress.
Finally, two quests have received targeted fixes. In Judgment Day, NPC behaviors have been improved and the victory animation now displays correctly. As for The Jaunt, Lord Semine's character no longer remains stuck after the training fight.
