Summary

  • Two new achievements have been added to Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 ahead of the Spring update.
  • Both hint that the Hardcore mode, set to release mid-April, might be implemented sooner than we expected.
  • But the mode already exists in the files, so if you want to try it early, you can.

Earlier this year, Warhorse Studios announced that Hardcore mode would return to 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 in the Spring update, releasing sometime in mid-April. However, it might be here sooner than we exp🍌ected.

, there are : "Hardcore Henry II" (a play on the movie of the same name and a follow-up to the original game’s achievement) and "Against All Odds". These task you with beating the game in Hardcore mode and even beating it with all of the perks enabled, gruelling challenges for an already gr🍃uelling game.

“Against All Od༺ds” was called “‘Tis but a scratch” in the original. And we’re unfortunately missing “Kingdom did not come”, a reward for dying in Hardcore.

And as we know, with players 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:getting their hands on Har🌱dcore mode early, it already exists in the game's backend — you can even enable it right now with console commands if you want. Couple that with the new Steam achievements, and it certainly looks like🦂 Warhorse Studios is gearing up for the official update, and with April right around the corner, the timing lines up perfectly.

What To Expect From Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2’s Hardcore Mode

Hardcore mode isn’t just an arbitrary stat slider that boosts enemy health and makes you weaker. It completely overhauls how you approach the game, stripping away your navigation tools, like the compass and your map position, thus forcing you to be more in tune with your surroundings. You need to ask people for directions, lo𝓰ok at the stars to figure out which way is north, and pay close attention to road signs.

To make things even harder, you’ll be stripped of fast travel, so you’ll need to carefully plan each route back and fort𓃲h, making sure you’re well-stocked for the road ahead.

Then there are the perks, of which you’re forced to pick three (). These make the game harder in unique, distinct ways, from slower experience gain to food spoiling faster and less carry weight. Others, like Menace, even make being branded for a crime permanent, and Bashful, which makes you so shy that you're incapable of asking for directions, makes exploration even harder.

But for the t🐓rophy hunters out there, you’ll need to play with all of these perks enabled at once and miraculously beat the game to get 100 percent. Luckily, if you can call it luck, you might get your chance soon enough.
