Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2’s March patch will bring barbers & Hardcore Mode

by

In early 2025, Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 offered an exceptional role-playing game (RPG) experience, but Warhorse Studios isn’t done yet. The game is due for a substantial update in March 2025, which will introduce new barbers to customize Henry’s hairdo and a challenging Hardcore Mode that tests players’ survival abilities.

Warhorse Studios’ lead designer Prokop Jirsa and PR manager Tobias Stolz-Zwilling discussed the upcoming update during a recent Twitch stream (as reported by PC Gamer). One of the highlights of this update is the inclusion of barbers, which should be straightforward to understand. After the update, you’ll find barbers at most bathhouses who can give Henry various hairstyles. Whether you prefer him looking dapper or neat, with long hair or a shaved head, there will be options available for you.

In “Hardcore Mode,” a feature from the original Kingdom Come: Deliverance, players are offered a challenging survival experience that enhances immersion. Unlike regular mode, fast travel is not available in this setting. Instead, you’ll need to walk everywhere, and without a compass on your screen, you’ll have to rely on landmarks to navigate using the map. This will test your ability to understand your surroundings and find your way. Additionally, players can opt for various handicaps like a bad back that reduces Henry’s carrying capacity or making him a “Numskull,” which lowers his experience gain. In the previous game, completing Hardcore Mode with all penalties earned a reward, so it remains to be seen if this will continue in this version as well.

In natural and easy-to-read language: Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 was one of the standout games in early 2025, and gamers concur as they quickly bought over a million copies of the game. With new features like barbers and Hardcore Mode on the horizon, keep an eye out for more updates here at Shacknews.
