The originalKingdom Come: Deliverancefeatured a brutal hardcore mode, bringing a new challenge for experienced players. The sequel promises a fresh twist on this, but it won’t be available until after launch. Here’s when you may expectKCD2’shardcore mode to finally make its debut.
When does Hardcore mode come out in KCD2?
According to theKingdom Come: Deliverance 2Twitter/X, hardcore mode will be released onApril 15, 2025. The new updates have already started rolling out with the latestBarber feature, and now, Hardcore Mode is the next one on the list.
I speculate that the update will be pretty massive, given that the Barber Mode had a substantial 90 GB patch. IfKCD2’shardcore mode is anything like its predecessor, there will certainly be a lot included in the upcoming patch. For example, the originalKingdom Come: Deliveranceremoved handy features likefast travel, Henry’s health/stamina bar, and auto-saves. The second iteration will likely follow suit, but we won’t know for sure until more details are revealed.
We’ll also be getting horse racing sometime after hardcore mode’s launch. You may want to start preparing for this by looking for thebest horsesin the game, particularly ones with high speed. By the summertime, you can look forward to the newbonus questsfrom the expansion pass. This includes the Brushes with Death during the Summer, Legacy of the Forge in Autumn, and Mysteria Ecclesiae in Winter.
