Rumors have surfaced about Sony Interactive Entertainment considering an Xbox release for Helldivers 2, as mentioned by insider Shpeshal_Nick on the XboxEra podcast. Hiroki Totoki, the interim CEO of Sony, has previously expressed interest in making PlayStation games available on additional platforms. Currently, discussions are very preliminary with no guarantees of the project moving forward.

Originally launched in February for PlayStation 5 and PC, Helldivers 2 was initially planned only for these platforms. Although Totoki has mainly focused on bringing games to PC, there's potential for expansion to other consoles. This move could respond to falling operating profits and increasing market competition. With Microsoft already releasing its games on PlayStation consoles, Sony might follow suit, setting a precedent for similar actions.

Slated for a 2024 release, "Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2" from Warhorse Studios reaffirms its commitment to the CryEngine, despite the popularity of Unreal Engine 5. PR Manager Tobias Stolz-Zwilling emphasized that the team has further modified the engine to meet the specific needs of the game, ensuring high visual appeal and performance stability.

Stolz-Zwilling explains that sticking with CryEngine is due to the studio's already established internal workflows centered around this technology. "Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2" will retain the realistic feel of its predecessor but will feature a more accessible combat system. The game will introduce improved world interaction and more natural NPC communication through a new quick-response mode.

Available on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series S|X, the game will offer two maps, each twice the size of the original game's map. The plot promises to be darker and more epic, with visual rendering powered by CryEngine being a major highlight of the sequel.

It has recently come to light that there has been a significant data breach at CD Projekt RED, known for their projects The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt and Cyberpunk 2077. An anonymous user has posted online the working passwords to the protected archives, allowing access to the source codes of these games, including their updated versions.

The source codes for Gwent and Thronebreaker: The Witcher Tales are also accessible now. This information has begun to spread across various piracy platforms, despite the company’s previous efforts to enhance information security and the introduction of REDkit for The Witcher 3, aimed at expanding mod creators' capabilities.

As the release date for "Star Wars Outlaws" approaches on August 30th for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC, Ubisoft finds itself embroiled in controversy once again. The developers have decided to cut a portion of the game's content from the standard edition, making it exclusively available in the more expensive Gold and Ultimate editions. This decision has angered fans.

The mission titled "Jabba’s Gambit," where the main character undertakes a task for one of the galaxy’s most powerful criminal overlords, is only accessible to those willing to shell out at least $110 for the Gold Edition or $130 for the Ultimate Edition. The cost for this additional content is significant — players must pay at least an extra $40 compared to the standard version of the game.

Ubisoft's actions raise questions about the company's values and respect for its customers, who are forced to pay significantly more for a complete gaming experience. The exclusivity of content involving one of the most iconic characters from the "Star Wars" series demonstrates a push to maximize profits at the expense of fan loyalty.
