Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 has a hardcore mode - a major update has been released for the game

Warhorse studio has released a long-awaited update for Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, the main "star" of which is the hardcore mode.
Here's What We Know
Patch 1.2.4 is already available on PC, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series and offers you to plunge into the toughest adventures of Indřich (Henry), where there is no room for error.
By selecting the hardcore mode at the beginning of the passage, gamers will determine three negative effects out of ten offered, which will affect the protagonist. Among them, for example, a sore back, which will reduce the load capacity and torment the hero when he bends over, and under the influence of sleepwalking protagonist can find himself in the most unpredictable places, and even where the player has not been and can not visit in any other way.
In hardcore mode gamers will not have a map, markers, hints and the ability to move quickly, and enemies will be much more aggressive.
All the perks can be found in our material.

The developers not only added a hardcore mode, but also made edits to Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, fixed a number of bugs, adjusted the cost of herbs from merchants and gave gamers a mega-opportunity to cut Indřich's hair, which looks very funny.
The full list of changes can be found on the Kingdom Come: Deliverance website.
