No Hardcore mode on launch?
Just saw the trailer for post launch content. Does this really mean there's no hardcore mode on launch? I was planning on playing hardcore from the very beginning. After playing through KCD1 both on normal and hardcore I concluded that hardcore was a better experience and wanted to play it in KCD2 from the get go. Really disappointed rn.

Ok thanks for the clarification. I think I will wait to buy/play until it's released. I really liked HC in KCD1. After playing it I kind of regretted playing it through normally first. It would have really enhanced my first playthrough.

Out of curiosity, did you have a lot of people ask for a Hardcore mode in the sequel? I absolutely loved it in KCD1 but thought it's so involved only a few people will play it so you won't bother with it for KCD2. So I guess I was wrong?

That was the main reason I don't want to play the game on release, I enjoyed so much hardcore mode in the first one that I honestly can't go back.

Now I have other reasons not to buy it. Developer priorities I guess.

I wonder if we will have a 90% chance of dying.

Hardcore mode is on the roadmap for Spring.

Edit: before the first DLC I mean.

Ugh. Alright, no big deal. Guess that just means I’ll have to do two runs, heh. Unless.. are you planning to add support for switching modes? I don’t remember if that was a thing in KCD1.
