Summary
- The Brushes with Death DLC patch for Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 fixed previously bugged Hardcore mode achievements.
- The fixes don't appear in the new patch notes.
- Two more story DLCs are planned for the game in 2025.
The Brushes with Death DLC patch for Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 seems to have fixed two of the game's toughest achievements. Not even four months after its release, developer Warhorse Studios has already released its first story DLC for Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, named Brushes with Death. This paid DLC adds several more hours of rich storytelling to dig into and over ten new achievements for players to earn.
Last month, Warhorse Studios brought a new challenge to Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 players in the form of Hardcore mode. The original game, as well as the sequel, have been notorious for their lack of difficulty settings upon release, rolling out a Hardcore option later on. Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2's new difficulty mode was accompanied by the addition of two new achievements, "Hardcore Henry II," and "Against All Odds." The former, worth only ten Gamerscore, is awarded for completing the game on Hardcore mode, while the latter takes it several steps further for 90 Gamerscore, asking players to finish the game on Hardcore with all the game's negative perks enabled. Unfortunately, Xbox gamers have reported that the achievements were bugged upon completing their rigorous requirements.

Now, it seems both of Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2's previously bugged Hardcore-related achievements have been fixed as part of the latest Brushes with Death DLC patch. According to TrueAchievements, after Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2's Patch 1.3 hit, the stats for both achievements began updating, showing that players were finally able to unlock them. This appears to have been a quiet fix, as Warhorse didn't mention the achievement repairs in the patch's notes.
Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2's Hardcore Difficulty Achievements Have Been Fixed
Players who had already completed the requirements for these achievements prior to this latest patch need not worry, as they'll simply need to load their Hardcore saves back up after installing the patch, and the achievements should pop retroactively. This is great news for players, considering just how long and difficult a feat beating Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 on Hardcore mode can be. Those who've been holding out on finishing Hardcore mode for these achievements to be patched up now have the go-ahead to jump back in without worrying about any issues.
Warhorse Studios isn't slowing down on Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, as, after Brushes with Death, it still has two more story DLCs planned to come this year. Legacy of the Forge is aiming for a Fall release, and Warhorse is hoping to release the third and final planned DLC for Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, Mysteria Eccelsia, by the end of 2025. Judging by the 13 new achievements that accompanied Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2's Brushes with Death DLC, fans should also expect these two future DLCs to come with their own batches of fresh achievements to unlock.
