Explore a newly immersive world with the Hardcore Mode

Hardcore Mode has arrived to Bohemia. The new game mode it’s set to shake the very foundations of Kingdom Come: Deliverance II for anyone ready to test their mettle against an even tougher slice of medieval life. 

Certain core features of the upcoming mode apply to everyone who sets foot inside this alternative universe. First, your character’s position will no longer be marked on the map automatically, while your trusty compass loses its cardinal directions entirely. Fast travel? No longer an option.

Along with these fixed challenges that underpin every Hardcore journey, you’ll also have to remix your own adventure by selecting at least three permanent negative perks at the very beginning of your playthrough.

You might choose the oafish Heavy-Footed perk, for example, which increases your movement noise while also wearing out your shoe leather faster. Alternatively, Sweaty increases your personal pungency as you explore the world, while Numbskull slows your experience gains.
