Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2's cutscenes are so good, they'll screen at a film festival
What that cinematic cut will look like is anyone's guess, but unless it's absurdly long, it won't be able to capture the full story. Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 has somewhere around a dozen hours of cutscenes for just the main story alone, not to mention the many, many sidequests in the game. While it would be hilarious to see viewers roped into a 15-hour-long Let's Play, that seems unlikely.

But with Dandiel Vávra and Petr Pekař at the helm, it's likely going to be impressive. Vávra is the lead writer and director for both of the Kingdom Come games, while Pekař is Warhorse Studio's cinematic director. There's no word on whether the cinematic cut will be available outside the film festival, but cross your fingers.
We're honoured to announce that Kingdom Come: Deliverance II will be featured at the Karlovy Vary International Film Festival.

The game's story picks up where Kingdom Come: Deliverance left off, following the same protagonist as the first game in 15th-century Bohemia. With a focus on historical accuracy and player freedom, the game provides a wide range of options and outcomes depending on your choices. However, it stands apart from many other titles because the stakes are smaller, focused more on the individual people than any sort of world-spanning event.
Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 is set to be a contender for game of the year and is likely going to bring home numerous awards, already winning Best PC Game at Gamescom 2024. It has so far been a huge success, reportedly breaking even on its release day. Continued content updates since launch have broaden the game's appeal, such as a hardcore mode for players that want a deadly challenge.

Mortal Kombat: Legacy Kollection Confirms The Final Two Games
This week at Gamescom, Atari has finally confirmed the final two games included in the Digital Eclipse-developed Mortal Kombat: Legacy Kollection, as well as added one more surprise for good measure. In the newest trailer, embedded below, we see that Mortal Kombat Mythologies: Sub-Zero and Mortal Kombat: Special Forces, two of the least-known games from the franchise's long legacy, will round out the list of 11 total games and over 20 different versions and variations in this massive collection. The other surprise I mentioned is the incredibly rare WaveNet Arcade version of Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3. This is the only arcade version of any Mortal Kombat game to include Noob Saibot and is the very first version of Mortal Kombat to support online multiplayer—ever. It's been assumed to be lost media for a long time. Mortal Kombat: Legacy Kollection—Full Game Lineup Here is the full game list, as confirmed today in a press release: FEATURED | Frase ByForbes™ Unscramble The Anagram To Reveal The Phrase Pinpoint By Linkedin Guess The Category Queens By Linkedin Crown Each Region Crossclimb By Linkedin Unlock A Trivia Ladder I can't overstate my excitement here. I've never played Mythologies or Special Forces and have been curious about those games for decades. Mythologies has the gameplay and perspective of a typical Mortal Kombat game, but it's a single-player action-adventure game instead. Special Forces, on the other hand, is a sort-of isometric top-down action game almost like Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance. I'm so intrigued to finally check that one out. Having one massive collection with all of these games officially preserved is amazing. Beyond that, though, this is exciting for its historical and educational significance. Just like the Atari 50 release, Digital Eclipse have gone to painstaking lengths to include tons of archival documents and interviews covering the creation of the series and its origins. For all intents and purposes, it's like an interactive documentary and digital museum. There is no exact release date for Mortal Kombat: Legacy Kollection yet, but the physical Standard and Deluxe Edition versions are expected to ship in December so it should be releasing this year.

Millie Bobby Brown adopts baby girl with husband Jake Bongiovi: 'And then there were 3'
The 'Stranger Things' actress is 21, and her husband is 23. Millie Bobby Brown is a mom. The Stranger Things actress, 21, and her husband Jake Bongiovi, 23, announced via an Instagram post that they adopted a baby girl. 'This summer, we welcomed our sweet baby girl through adoption. We are beyond excited to embark on this beautiful next chapter of parenthood in both peace and privacy,' Brown wrote on Instagram. She concluded the post with, 'And then there were 3.' Brown, who will star in the final season of Stranger Things when it drops on Netflix beginning Nov. 26, married Bongiovi — son of singer Jon Bon Jovi — in May 2024 in a private ceremony before having a bigger reception in Italy months later. In a March 2025 episode of the SmartLess podcast with Jason Bateman, Will Arnett and Sean Hayes, she spoke about wanting children. "I'm still really young, but my mom actually had her first child at 21, and my dad was 19, and you know, it's been my thing since before I met Jake," she said at the time. She added, 'I wanted to be a mom just like the way my mom was to me and ... my grandmother is — she was a huge part of my life.' Brown also spoke about adopting a child on the podcast, though she did not say she had any immediate plans. "I don't see having your own child, you know, as really any different as in adopting," she explained. "For me, like, my home is full of love for anyone and anything, and so that is what we stand by, Jake and I — our energy in the house is like, 'The door is always open.'" Though we don't know any specific details about Brown and Bongiovi's adoption, they are on the young side for adopting a child. According to the National Council for Adoption, parents who chose infant adoption averaged 35 years old, with 94% married at the time of adoption, and generally had the highest levels of education and household income.

And Baby Makes Three! Millie Bobby Brown and Jake Bongiovi Welcome a Baby Via Adoption
Just a year and some change after their Tuscan wedding, Millie Bobby Brown, 21, and Jake Bongiovi, 22, have welcomed a baby girl through adoption. Actor and entrepreneur Brown shared the happy news on Instagram today in a succinct shared post. Here's what it said: 'This summer, we welcomed our sweet baby girl through adoption. We are beyond excited to embark on this beautiful next chapter of parenthood in both peace and privacy. And then there were three.' Brown and Bongiovi have been dating since 2021, when they met over social media. In April 2023, Brown announced their engagement on Instagram as well: a black-and-white photo captioned with lyrics from Taylor Swift's 'Lover' encapsulating the moment. In May 2024, the couple decided to move to Georgia, where they live on a farm. It's also home to Joey's Friends, an animal rescue founded by the Stranger Things and Enola Holmes actor. 'I carry a microchip scanner with me,' she revealed to Vogue on a recent 'In the Bag' video. Congratulations to the happy family!
