What is the Ready or Not Ironman Mode

As you can guess from the name, Ready or Not Ironman Mode is not simple at all. In fact, this mode was designed by the developers to make things even more difficult, so it is certainly not suitable for all those who are new to the genre. In practice, it is a mode in which you will have to play with permadeath, which means that your death will be permanent and therefore you cannot be brought back to life by your companions in any way. Additionally, your character and save will be lost forever.

It is therefore a mode that pushes the game's level of realism even further, already received with positive opinions also for this aspect. Furthermore, as a consequence, your attitude will change: you will certainly have to be more vigilant and attentive to everything that is happening around you, a small misstep could cause you to die and you will have to repeat everything from the beginning. As a reward for the more daring, if you manage to overcome this ordeal, you will have exclusive cosmetic rewards to redeem.
