Today, April 15th, 2025, Warhorse Studios has dropped patch 1.2.4 for Kingdom Come Deliverance 2, which has brought with it the most brutal way to play the game in “hardcore mode” along with much more.
First off, Hardcore mode itself brings with it many things both taken from the first games hardcore mode and new features. No longer will you be able to fast travel, there will no longer be a marker on the map giving your location, and you can no longer ask for directions in the game. If you’re thinking you’ll just use your compass to get by, think again as it’s gone as well. For more details on hardcore mode check out this link.
