Today, publisher Deep Silver and developer Warhorse Studios have officially added Hardcore Mode to Kingdom Come: Deliverance II, giving players a brutal new way to experience the land of medieval Bohemia.
Hardcore Mode turns Kingdom Come: Deliverance II into a true test of survival. Henry’s location is no longer permanently shown on the map, there is no compass to guide you, and fast travel is disabled, forcing you to navigate the world entirely on your own. Raising the stakes further, players need to select at least three permanent negative traits at the start of the game, such as Bad Back, meaning you can carry less weight; Somnambulant, which means sleepwalking and waking up in random places; or Hangry Henry, who is even more obsessed with food than usual.
This is an evolution of a mode that existed in the original Kingdom Come: Deliverance designed to create a new level of immersion in the game.
Karel Kolmann, senior game designer at Warhorse Studios, explained that they wanted the Hardcore Mode to be as good as it was in the first game, but not a carbon copy.
“We only kept a couple of the first game’s perks, and then we made new ones to provide a completely new challenge,” he said. “It’s not just about making the game harder either, it’s about making it more immersive too.
“In the first game’s Hardcore Mode, we did things like disabling your map position and removing the compass, but we’ve gone further this time. We’ve added the option to ask different NPCs about your location in the world, which is something more immersive. You can run into travellers on the road and ask for directions,” he added.
For those who missed out on the Gallant Huntsman Kit (originally included as part of the Kingdom Come: Deliverance II Gold Edition), your FOMO ends here, because this kit is now available as DLC.
Whether you’re tracking down your parents’ killers or stalking game in the forest, you can now look the part with the Gallant Huntsman’s Kit. From sporting St. Hubert’s hunting cap, firing bolts at your quarry with Artemis’ crossbow, or looking dapper in Nimrod’s famous hunting coat, this hunting garb is a must-have for the aspiring ranger.
What does the Gallant Huntsman’s Kit include?
St. Hubert hat: Hunting cap based on a legend about St. Hubert
Master huntsman’s hood: Adorned with pearls to protect from the elements
Nimrod coat: Hunting coat based on the famous hunter Nimrod
“Master huntsman’s hose: Trousers for a proper hunter
Master huntsman’s gloves: Hunting gloves crafted from leather for manipulating weapons and downing game
Master huntsman’s boots: Hunting boots well-made from leather for stable movement through dense forest
Artemis’ crossbow: A new type of ranged weapon perfect for hunting Hunting bolt: 30 bolts to use with the crossbow

ZHIYUN was a hit at the NAB 2025 show in Las Vegas this April, unveiling new accessories that help photographers and videomakers unleash their creativity. The packed venue saw the launch of the latest ZHIYUN products and emphasized the remarkable performance of the wide range of ZHIYUN gimbal and lighting accessories.
The company drew a big crowd at its booth, with top influencers interacting with the audience, and live demonstrations for visitors and media. Industry experts speaking enthusiastically at the ZHIYUN booth included Cam Mackey @cammacky, Zach Ramelan @zachramelan, Irene Rudnyk @irenerudnykphoto, The DP Journey @thedpjourney, and Anita Sadowska @sadowskaphoto.
The popular photo and video accessory maker held major new product launch events at its booth and also showcased key creative accessories from its range of popular ZHIYUN Molus, Fiveray and Cinepeer lights; and the Crane, Weebill and Smooth series gimbals. Organized by the US National Association of Broadcasters, NAB 2025 took place from April 6 to April 9, 2025 at the Las Vegas Convention Center in Las Vegas, Nevada, US.
ZHIYUN lights up brightly in Las Vegas
As well as exclusive new products, ZHIYUN showed visitors many of its outstanding range of lights and gimbals which are already in the field, helping photo and video creatives and professionals produce spectacular results quickly and easily.
There was the MOLUS G300, which Youtuber RudyVisuals highlights for its ability to act as a single versatile lighting source that illuminates an entire interview setup. The similarly-capably G200 was also on show at NAB 2025.
The MOLUS X60 videography and photography light provides professional-level powerful 60 watt quality lighting, but is remarkably compact – palm-sized and just 319g – easy-to-use, and cool-running. Color fidelity is excellent, and the MOLUS X60 RGB variant provides full color control. Influencer, Connor McCaskill, after trying out this X60 series and the M20C light, excitedly comments about “how insanely powerful they are for how portable they are”.
ZHIYUN’s ultra-portable lights make working on the move even easier. The FIVERAY M40 light provides 40W of high power lighting in a lightweight palm-sized device that fits in a pocket. Meanwhile, the FIVERAY M20 and M20C pocket-sized 20W lights combine professional-level features with consumer-level ease-of-use in an easily portable format.
Then there’s ZHIYUN’s CINEPEER C100, a 100W RGB portable light with 36,000 color options, built-in lighting effects, adaptive charging, and long battery life.
Innovations in gimbals and AI tracking
The Crane M3S compact portable gimbal is a 705g (1.5 lbs) stabilizer with an impressive load-bearing capacity that handles a wide range of mainstream full-frame cameras and lens combos. It can also be used with mobile phones, mirrorless cameras, and action cameras.
Powerful AI tracking technology transforms the video creation process in ZHIYUN’s SMOOTH 5S AI smartphone stabilizer gimbals. Video experts are saying it is “going to change your way of smartphone filming a whole lot”. The compact magnetically-attached AI tracker is easily controlled by simple hand gestures, and makes professional-level video quick and easy to shoot – even for solo creators.
Other ZHIYUN accessories seen at NAB 2025 included:
Lights: Molus G300 and G200, Molus B series, Molus X100

Escape the Trygon’s bloodcurdling claws in the free new “Exfiltration” mission
Drop back to windswept Avarax for a new assignment and take on the mighty Trygon in Space Marine 2’s ninth PvE Operation. This new, terrifying, towering boss specializes in guerrilla tactics and is renowned for its ability to burrow below defense lines and harass its prey no matter how safe they think they are. Free for all players, this new mission is the perfect occasion to try out the fiery new secondary weapon: the Inferno Pistol.
These come in addition to a range of QoL updates and improvements available to all players, like the introduction of Prestige Ranks and Prestige Rewards; a rework of many weapon perks; the ability to change the color of cloth, tabards and hoods across all classes; as well as much-requested custom PvP lobbies, letting you match in groups of up to 12 players for fully customizable Eternal War games.
The Space Wolves and Imperial Fists join the fray with new DLCs
On top of its free content, the “Trygon” update also brings two new DLCs for Season Pass owners. First is the Space Wolves Chapter Pack, which adds a new Champion skin for the Vanguard, three weapon skins (Chainsword, Bolt Carbine and Thunder Hammer) and more than 50 unique cosmetics and colors to honor the Chapter’s 12 Great Companies.
It’s complemented by the Imperial Fists Champion Pack, which delivers its own Champion skin for the Tactical class and a unique Plasma Incinerator skin celebrating the Sons of Dorn.
Heed the call of battle once again with Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2’s “Trygon” update, now available on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S and PC. Players can join the Space Marine 2 community, share feedback and get exclusive rewards on our new Focus Together platform.

Today, developer Alkimia Interactive has revealed new insights into the Gothic 1 Remake. The development team offered another in-depth look, as part of their making-of-series, into the creation of their ambitious project: This remake of the cult classic will not only deliver a complete visual overhaul but also introduce systemic and narrative refinements that aim to elevate the beloved original into a modern experience.
“Our job was to find out what elements should stay exactly as they are and what elements should be expanded,” explains Reinhard Pollice, Alkimia Interactive’s Studio Director. Throughout the production, the developers found themselves constantly navigating between honoring the original while thoughtfully enhancing it with new ideas to make the experience even more compelling. Gothic 1 Remake aims to stay true to the original’s core narrative, while addressing long-standing issues: Plot holes, contradictions, and logical inconsistencies have been carefully reviewed and rewritten.
Creating a believable, breathing open world is one of the remake’s central design goals. The team implemented a detailed living world simulation where characters follow daily routines, witness player actions, and dynamically respond to events, even when the player isn’t nearby. “We’re not just configuring NPCs’ homes or schedules.”, says Javier Untoria, Lead Game Designer. “We are creating a living world with a lot of character.”
Another exciting part of the remake is how the development team expands existing areas and and found inspiration in elements that were originally cut. The development team looked at areas that were empty in the original and fleshed them out. From mysterious dungeons to hidden paths and deeper interactions with orc culture, many of the game’s lore-rich aspects are being given space to truly shine.
