Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 Dev Reveals Medieval Mullet, Talks Hardcore Mode

After devoting the majority of January to Kingdom Come: Deliverance II, we're surprised at how much of a hankering we have to return to the wonderful world of Henry of Skalitz. We're holding out for the truly masochistic Hardcore Mode; developer Warhorse Studios recently detailed this punishing way of playing, as well as showing off many of the anachronistic hair styling and beard options coming to the game.

In a dev stream on Twitch (thanks, Game Rant), players were treated to a sneak peek at some of the surprisingly modern facial and hairstyles coming to the game, from the gloriously masculine mullet that seemingly never goes out of style, to that ridiculous broccoli-looking mop all the kids these days seem to be sporting (we are so old). Best of all, Henry will be able to look the part of the sullen emo-bard he was always destined to be.

Perhaps most exciting (if you're a glutton for punishment) was the reveal of new details regarding the game's promised Hardcore Mode, which we simply cannot wait for. Described as "a more difficult and immersive way of experiencing the game", certain UI elements will be hidden to make combat and traversal more demanding:

"Your character's position is never marked on the map, the compass doesn't show you cardinal directions, and fast travel is disabled." Add to that a set of new negative perks that drastically change how the game plays, and we can't wait to rise out of the medieval muck all over again.

What do you think of the decidedly modern hairstyles coming to the 14th-century Kingdom of Bohemia? Are the fair maidens and men of that era prepared for Henry's advanced hair-styling techniques? Are you broken in the specific way that makes Hardcore Mode sound so appealing? Let us know in the comments section below.
