Souveräne Bestzeit von Verstappen: So lief das erste Training in Mala…

Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 is about a lad named Henry and his small role in kicking Sigismund of Luxembourg out of Bohemia in the name of the imprisoned King Wenceslas I. Henry and his newfound pals conspire, heist, assassinate, and sabotage to loosen the usurper's grip on the economic stronghold of Kuttenberg, but what they never try is barging straight in the front door. trojkonferencja2024.pl

Just take the damn city! It can't be that hard. I say around 20, 40 men tops could do the job. In fact, if the story quests won't do it, I will.

Step 1: Raise an army

Surprisingly, this is the easy part. KCD2, for all its freedoms, does not natively allow Henry to roam Bohemia with a warband, so the mod "Companion Squad" from Steam user Triget will be the engine powering this righteous campaign.

With just two keystrokes, my army began to take shape in front of me: 10, 20, 30 mercenaries with unique names and faces stood at attention, ready to attack at my command. The gates of Kuttenberg stood before us—doors wide open—its treasonous protectors oblivious to our plans.

Step 2: Call in favors

A "Heroes" section of the spawn menu caught my eye. With a few more clicks, I'd called up all of Henry's friends (and enemies) for a quick favor, including Hans Capon, the entire Jan Zizka crew, Godwin, Erik, Istvan Toth, and even Radzig and Hanush made the trip from Rattay.

With a strained framerate, my army was 43 strong. Time to take back Kuttenberg—for King Wenceslas!

Step 3: I have no pants

As I entered photo mode to witness the might of my army, I realized I've been pantless the whole time. This is the first time I've loaded this particular save on my newer PC, and somehow Henry's padded hose did not make the transition. They are not in my inventory and no longer seem to exist. At least I still have my mens' respect.

Step 4: Charge!

The guard who searches everyone entering the city didn't take kindly to my unsheathed sword. We exchanged a few blows before my warband formed into a bloodthirsty mob that I will henceforth call the "murder clump" and killed the guy in about two seconds. Another guard started a 1v1 with me and the murder clump ate him too.

It turned out the army was set to "defend" me, so they only raised arms when I was in an active fight. This isn't what I had in mind for a grand coup, so I pressed F6 to switch their attack pattern to something more offensive.

Step 5: Overwhelm

Finally, the murder clump branched out and started attacking guards without my direct input. Kuttenberg's finest simply did not stand a chance. With no time to prepare a proper defense and word traveling slowly throughout the town, the small squads of guards responding to the commotion were immediately overwhelmed by a blob of plate armor and sharpened steel. Once the eastern entrance was clear of law enforcement, I joined the clump and charged down the streets in the direction of city hall.

Then we passed by an inn, and I watched in horror as half of the murder clump broke off to ransack the peaceful business. This is when I realized that the army was set to "Bandit mode."

Step 6: Accidentally become the bad guys

The murder clump attacked everything that moved. Nobles, innkeepers, silver miners, musicians, and yes, all the guards too. Other than their tendency to get stuck in doorways, they worked with ruthless efficiency, turning a military coup into the sort of scorched-earth ransacking that upended Henry's life in the first KCD. I tried to switch between "attack" and "defend" mode to spare lives where possible, but the army had spread out into smaller murder clumps, and they didn't always listen to my commands.

This isn't how I wanted to take Kuttenberg, but it did speed the whole thing up a great deal. It took less than 20 minutes for the city to basically run out of guards, other than the ones who fled.

Step 7: Apologize to God, or something

By nightfall, the streets were bloody and quiet. I'd lost seven soldiers of my own, Hans and Zizka were super dead, and I had a foot in the grave, too, thanks to guards targeting my bare legs. We stormed city hall and found a series of empty rooms. Sigismund had presumably turned tail when he saw our numbers—the coward!

I entered a room with a little shrine and let Henry say a prayer. A quick apology for all of the senseless murder should do the trick.

Step 8: Take office

In the next room was an important-looking office with a big desk. I took my seat in a fancy chair and crowned myself king, mayor, or whatever, of Kuttenberg.

Job done, but I can't say I recommend this strategy: I have completely messed up my save by killing countless quest givers, and every town in the region wants me to hang for my crimes. But hey, it was a lot faster than finishing the main story.

We've only got three months left in the year, but our list of upcoming 2026 games has enough October releases and updates to tide me over until this time next year. I just installed Silent Hill: Townfall, but who knows if I'll get to it before we start decking the halls or whatever the song says. I was hoping to deck a few monsters in Scotland. Alas.

It's a very my-steak-is-too-juicy complaint, but I've already overcommitted my October schedule to more survival crafting with Enshrouded's 1.0 update. I'm also trying to make time for MMO nostalgia when MapleStory Classic is out, and Final Fantasy Resonance will have to squeeze in there somewhere.

My own calendar is already buckling under the weight of this month's treats, so in the spirit of spooky season, I haunted a few colleagues with threats of dead pixels and ghosting until they shared their staff picks for the month. I'm pacified, for now. But I'll be back again next month with a turkey and the world's most mumbly protagonist.

October 2026 game updates and DLC highlights

The October 2026 games calendar

New game releases, events, and updates you can check out during spooky season.

Final Fantasy 7 feels both like a time capsule from the late '90s and a timeless story about corporate greed and its negative impact on the environment, and the upcoming Final Fantasy 7 Revelation is set to tie the knot on the remake trilogy's modern retelling. So far, the story has stayed largely faithful to the original game, and series boss Naoki Hamaguchi

In Edge Magazine issue 429, Hamaguchi says it hasn't been easy remaking a game as beloved as Final Fantasy 7 as three separate entries while staying true to the spirit of the original.

"We haven't altered the core of the story based on reactions at any given time. It feels as though we've built up each title one by one without wavering from the central theme we established at the very start of the Remake series," Hamaguchi says. "It wasn't easy. I felt it was absolutely essential to avoid turning a masterpiece like FF7 into something that felt like my own personal fan project."

Of course, the Final Fantasy 7 remakes aren't without their creative liberties, even introducing a meta narrative device to make major changes to the original story via the Whisper entities. Hamaguchi says the development team didn't struggle with individual alterations; rather, they struggled with the remake series' whole identity among the Final Fantasy pantheon.

"The real challenge wasn't simply incorporating elements that differed from the original or introducing new interpretations. It was constantly asking ourselves whether what we were creating could truly be called FF7R," says Hamaguchi.

With Final Fantasy 7 Revelation due out April 8, 2027, you still have plenty of time to catch up on the story as told before the sequel picks up, whether that's a replay of Remake and Rebirth or the original 1997 JRPG. Hamaguchi himself recently told GamesRadar+ that the original story "is very much enshrined within the story [and] the narrative of the Remake series as a thing in the world," but that newcomers can also jump right into the remakes and still have a great old time.

Final Fantasy 7 Revelation battle lead still doesn't know the "correct" way to balance between real-time and turn-based combat, but that's why he's not "tired" of working on the trilogy
