Kingdom Come: Deliverance developer Warhorse hasn't announced any future projects, but game director Daniel Vavra has ideas. He said in an interview that he has "a couple of projects" in mind that could, he estimates, have "as big potential as Kingdom Come: Deliverance." The developer added that he's hopeful the "AI revolution" gets here soon so he can make more games before retiring.

Vavra didn't go into detail on what these ideas might be, but he did tell The Game Business that he hopes the "AI revolution" can help him and his staff make games faster. He said new AI technologies will not replace human developers but will help them build faster.

"It really annoys me that the games take so much time, because I have more ideas than I have time," he said. "There are a couple of projects that I would love to do. And I would love to prepare them properly, so it's not as chaotic. I hope that the AI revolution will help with this, where in the future we will not be replaced by AI, but we will be helped by AI. So a lot of the things could get easier and faster."

Diablo 4 and Diablo Immortal are crossing over with Kentaro Miura's legendary dark-fantasy manga Berserk, and now Blizzard has revealed more details on what the franchise's first non-Blizzard IP collab will involve.

Unlike some crossovers that are solely an opportunity to buy themed skins, the Diablo and Berserk crossovers do actually add new events for players to participate in and free rewards to claim, though most of the "good" stuff will cost extra. Diablo 4's Berserk crossover event will begin May 6 and run through the end of Season 8, approximately three months later. Diablo Immortal's Berserk events will run May 1-30.

In Diablo 4, players will hunt elite enemy packs in order to gather Behelits that can be used to unlock free Berserk cosmetics in the Berserk Reliquary, part of Diablo 4's newly revamped battle-pass system. Some of those items include a Brand of Sacrifice marking that can be used in character customization, as well as Skull Knight's shield as mount armor and Griffith's Helmet as a back trophy.

Ahead of its launch on June 5, anyone looking to preorder a Switch 2 console will be able to grab a few accessories to go along with it. The Switch 2 Pro Controller will be one of the devices available to purchase, and while it looks very similar to the first-gen model that launched alongside the Switch in 2017, Nintendo says one aspect of it has been significantly improved.

On the official Nintendo website (via NintendoSoup), the company claims that the controller can now be charged in approximately three hours when the console is in sleep mode--around half the time of the original Pro Controller. What makes this interesting is that the new Pro Controller has a smaller 1070 mAh battery when compared to the original--it has a 1,300 mAh battery--and for overall battery life, Nintendo says that you can expect up to 40 hours of use depending on the game you're playing and usage conditions.

Other new features on the controller include two new buttons on the rear that can be customized and the C-button that activates GameChat if you have a Nintendo Switch Online subscription. What happens if you push it and you don't have Nintendo Switch Online? Nothing bad, Nintendo assured us in a recent interview.

The newest episode of HBO's The Last of Us included extreme violence and gore, but it could have been even more grisly. Director Mark Mylod has now opened up about Season 2, Episode 2, which included a shocking twist from the game.

SPOILERS FOLLOW BELOW.

In Episode 2, "Through the Valley," Joel (Pedro Pascal) is brutally murdered by Abby (Kaitlyn Dever) with a golf club. We see Abby killing Joel with the club by way of an ongoing flurry of blows to his face and body, leaving Joel slumped on the floor. Abby finishes the job by stabbing Joel with the sharp point of a golf club. It was a gripping and intense scene, and Mylod said in an interview that he wanted to keep "most" of the violence of this scene off-screen.

"I wanted to avoid overt torture. I don't have much interest in showing violence itself," Mylod told The Hollywood Reporter.

Following the success of the Sonic the Hedgehog movies, another Sega franchise may be heading to the big screen. Director Michael Bay and actress Sydney Sweeney are reportedly working on an adaptation of Sega's 1986 arcade racing hit OutRun.

According to Deadline, Bay is attached to direct OutRun from a script by Jayson Rothwell. However, Sweeney is only signed on as a producer, not a star. Sweeney is one of the busiest actresses in Hollywood, and her upcoming roles include the Barbarella remake. She has also shifted to producing her own projects.

The OutRun arcade game doesn't have any story to speak of, since it and all of its follow-up games are racing titles. There hasn't been a new game in the series since 2009's OutRun Online Arcade. Hollywood studios have previously attempted to adapt Shinobi and other classic Sega games, but only Sonic came to fruition on the big screen.

A newly launched Call of Duty store bundle is themed around bacon. The "Sizzlin'" tracer pack, as it's called, includes a variety of cosmetics based on the salt-cured pork treat, along with a death effect that turns enemies into strips of bacon when eliminated.

The Sizzlin' tracer pack is one of COD's most expensive bundles, carrying a cost of 3,000 COD Points--that's about $30. For that, players get multiple weapon variants that add strips of bacon to your guns, along with a special skin, "Not Enough Bacon," which is basically a ghillie suit made of bacon.

The special bacon-themed death effect, meanwhile, turns enemies into strips of bacon, while the bundle also comes with a cast iron frying pan melee weapon. There is a finishing move called "Pan Fried," in which the player sizzles their enemy's face in a pan of bacon grease.

This story contains major spoilers for HBO's The Last of Us.

Pedro Pascal's character on The Last of Us, Joel, was killed off in the Season 2, Episode 2 episode that aired on April 20. Despite that, Joel is not finished on the TV series--far from it.

Showrunner and writer Craig Mazin told TV Line that Joel and Ellie (Bella Ramsey) make up an "iconic duo," going on to assure fans they will see more of them, and in new ways.

"We do get to see them quite a bit together this season. And we also get to see interesting things happening with them--more, I think, than what we saw in Season 1," he said.

A Switch 2 release for Ubisoft's Assassin's Creed Shadows hasn't been officially confirmed by the company, but an unannounced port may have just been leaked by PEGI. The PEGI website seemed to list Nintendo Switch 2 alongside Shadows' other launch platforms in a minor detail that was soon picked up and posted to Reddit.

As spotted by Eurogamer, while Assassin's Creed Shadows' dedicated page on the PEGI ratings website lists only PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S, one Redditor noticed that, when the game was displayed on the PEGI homepage under the Most Searched Games band, it also included Nintendo Switch 2. At the time of writing, Shadows is no longer included under Most Searched Games, so it's unclear whether the Switch 2 is still included on the games listing.

It's possible the Switch 2 only appeared because of a mistake by PEGI, but it's also not unlikely that Ubisoft would bring Shadows to the Switch 2. The company already has one game coming to the Switch 2--Star Wars Outlaws, and Ubisoft revealed at Star Wars Celebration over the weekend that it will be releasing for the Switch 2 on September 4.

Capcom has found some players are cheating in certain Monster Hunter Wilds quests by modifying the game to output higher rewards, and has warned players against joining modified quests. Players who join these quests, even if they aren't the ones instigating the modifications, run the risk of corrupting their games, or being picked up by Capcom's anti-cheat measures.

"Modified data can interfere with normal gameplay and even render the game unplayable," Capcom warned in a post on the Monster Hunter X account (via Eurogamer). "If you suspect a quest has been modified, please do not play it, or stop playing it immediately."
