**Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 Dev Joins CD Projekt RED to Work on The Witcher 4**

Warhorse Studios’ *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2* has been turning heads this year as an immersive medieval RPG, boasting compelling systems and an engaging story. Now, CD Projekt RED is ramping up excitement for its own medieval RPG, *The Witcher 4*, by bringing a key developer from the Kingdom Come sequel onboard.

Former Warhorse Lead Game Designer Karel Kolmann has made the switch to CD Projekt RED, where he will work as a Senior Quest Designer. This is a significant acquisition for CD Projekt RED, and Kolmann himself shared the announcement on his social media this week.

Kolmann kept the message simple, stating, “I’m happy to share that I’ve joined CD Projekt RED,” in a tweet graphic. However, his LinkedIn profile provides a bit more detail, revealing his new role as Senior Quest Designer at CDPR.

During his eight-year tenure at Warhorse Studios, Kolmann was instrumental in shaping the Kingdom Come series. He contributed as a writer, quest designer, and game designer before stepping into the role of Lead Game Designer. Notably, Kolmann was one of the lead architects behind *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2’s* Hardcore Mode and its intricate law system.

There’s no doubt that Kolmann’s expertise played a role in many of the features praised in Guides Editor Sam Chandler’s review of *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*, making his move to CD Projekt RED an exciting prospect for fans eagerly awaiting *The Witcher 4*.

Stay tuned for more updates on *The Witcher 4* as development continues with fresh talent on board.

Two Point Museum’s next DLC will be zoo-themed

Leave a comment

Two Point Studios has revealed the next exciting addition coming to **Two Point Museum** with a small teaser this week. Dubbed **Two Point Museum: Zooseum**, this upcoming DLC will be zoo-themed, allowing players to collect animal-themed exhibits and decorations for a brand-new biome. The DLC is set to launch this winter.

The developers shared the first look at the **Two Point Museum: Zooseum** DLC in a teaser trailer earlier this week. The sneak peek included brief glimpses of a gerbil, tiger, panda, capybara, and a bird that might—or might not—be a dodo.

If the other biomes in the base **Two Point Museum** game are any indication, this new biome will likely introduce unique mechanics for acquiring exhibits. For instance, it may feature an expert who is less susceptible to traumatic animal attacks, adding a fresh strategic layer to gameplay.

More details, including the official release date, will be revealed in due course.

Released in February 2025, **Two Point Museum** is Two Point Studios’ latest quirky take on business management games. It offers a fun journey through diverse museum themes, unique methods to collect exhibits, and distinctive rules for arranging them.

My Shacknews review praised the game for its engaging gameplay and whimsical style, a sentiment shared by many players. The experience has only been enhanced by DLC such as the **Fantasy Finds** pack and exciting collaborations, including the recent crossover with Poncle’s **Vampire Survivors**.

Stay tuned for more updates on **Two Point Museum: Zooseum**, coming this winter!

‘Halo is on PlayStation going forward’ says franchise’s Community Director

Leave a comment

Halo Studios marked the end of one era and the beginning of another last week with the announcement of *Halo: Campaign Evolved*. This Unreal Engine 5 remake of the original Halo game is set to launch next year on Xbox, PC, and—for the first time ever—the PlayStation 5.

Confirming the PS5 release of *Halo: Campaign Evolved*, Halo Studios also announced that future Halo titles will be available on the PlayStation platform as well. Halo Community Director Brian Jarrard appeared on stage at the Halo World Championships last week to share the news. “Halo is on PlayStation going forward, starting with *Halo: Campaign Evolved*,” he said while wearing a t-shirt featuring the PlayStation logo.

The announcement that Halo is coming to PlayStation sent waves through the gaming community. The official PlayStation post welcoming the franchise garnered over 12 million impressions on X (formerly Twitter). In response, GameStop boldly declared the “Console Wars” officially over.

What this means for fans is that the next new entry in the Halo series will be available on PlayStation, whether on the PS5 or the future PS6. While we are likely still several years away from a follow-up to *Halo Infinite*, it’s clear that the franchise will continue to support both Xbox and PlayStation platforms moving forward.

Halo Studios marked the end of one era and the beginning of another last week with the announcement of **Halo: Campaign Evolved**. This Unreal Engine 5 remake of the first Halo game is set to release next year on Xbox, PC, and, for the first time ever, PS5.

In confirming the PS5 release for Halo CE, Halo Studios also revealed that future Halo games will be available on the rival platform. Halo Community Director Brian Jarrard made the announcement on stage at the Halo World Championships, where he discussed the exciting news about Halo: Campaign Evolved coming to PS5.

“Halo is on PlayStation going forward, starting with Halo: Campaign Evolved,” Jarrard said, proudly wearing a t-shirt with the PlayStation logo.

The announcement sent shockwaves through the gaming community. The official PlayStation post welcoming the Halo franchise garnered over 12 million impressions on X (formerly Twitter). Following this, GameStop boldly declared the “Console Wars” over.

What does this mean for fans? Simply put, any new entry in the Halo series will also come to PlayStation, whether that’s on the PS5 or the inevitable PS6.

While we are still likely a few years away from the follow-up to Halo Infinite, one thing is clear: the future of Halo is no longer confined to Xbox alone. Both Xbox and PlayStation players will get to experience the next chapter in this iconic franchise.
