Fans of immersive medieval RPGs have a reason to celebrate—Warhorse Studios has officially dropped Update 1.2.4 for Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, bringing with it one of the most requested features: Hardcore Mode.
💥 What’s New in the Update?
According to the official patch notes, the 1.2.4 update introduces a gritty and challenging Hardcore Mode that ramps up the realism by removing fast travel, hiding HUD elements, and increasing survival mechanics. It’s the ultimate test for players seeking a more authentic medieval experience.
Alongside Hardcore Mode, players can expect:
-
Improved NPC AI behavior
-
Optimized performance and stability across platforms
-
Fixes for various quest and dialogue bugs
-
Enhanced visual effects in specific cutscenes
🎮 Why Hardcore Mode Matters
Hardcore Mode is more than just a difficulty spike—it reshapes how players interact with the world. Without modern UI conveniences, every choice, route, and battle becomes more intense and meaningful. This addition reflects the game’s commitment to historical immersion and realism.
⚙️ Technical Tweaks & Fixes
Warhorse Studios also addressed multiple bugs reported by the community, such as NPC pathing issues, animation glitches, and occasional crashes. The update ensures smoother gameplay, especially for players running the game on next-gen consoles and high-end PCs.
🔮 What’s Next?
With Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 building on the strong foundation of the original, this update shows Warhorse Studios’ dedication to evolving the game based on player feedback. While there’s no official word on the next feature update, fans are already speculating on future DLCs and expansions.
