Warhorse Studios have released a new difficulty mode for their medieval RPG, Kingdom Come Deliverance.

The free update for all platforms does away with a few assist features to make the game, which was already grounded in realism, that bit more immersive. When playing in hardcore mode, players are no longer able to fast travel and will have to rely on the position of the sun and time of day for navigation. Combat has also been made deadlier, with strikes said to have a more realistic impact.
Autosaves have been done away with and, on top of that, two negative perks must be chosen from the below roster that will remain active for the entire duration of any given hardcore playthrough.
​​​​​
  • Nightmares: Every time you wake up you are shaken from your nightmare and suffer a short-term debuff. Sleeping becomes more of a "tactical" choice.
  • Claustrophobic: When you close your helmet visor, your attack lowers. You have to choose between better protection or higher attack.
  • Hemophilia: You bleed more which makes taking hits in combat riskier.
  • Numbskull: Lowers your XP gain. A perfect perk for players who thought the vanilla skill progression was too fast and felt overpowered in the late game. It's more work to out level your opponents with this perk.
  • Shakes: For true sadists. Makes aiming a bow and picking pockets and locks harder.
  • Consumption: Your stamina regenerates slower. Combat is more challenging and requires thinking ahead of each strike.
  • Tapeworm: You get hungry faster, and since eating from pots around the world is no longer such a viable option, this makes the survival element even more prominent.
  • Sonambulant: Fun perk. There is a slight chance you will wake up somewhere else than where you fell asleep. Provides quite a challenge when you wake up in an unknown place and can't see your position on the map. Very rarely you can also sleepwalk your place to some secret areas.
  • Brittle Bones: You must be careful while running down cliffs and riding a horse. Falls are more dangerous.

You can read the complete list of changes in hardcore mode here.

Warhorse Studios also released a new teaser trailer for the upcoming From the Ashes DLC, which you can see above. Releasing sometime next month, From the Ashes gives players the opportunity to build and rule a village from the ground up.
