🎮 Multi-platformKingdom Come Actor Is Living My Dream, Opening A Medieval Pub To Drink Beer And Eat Food With Friends
British actor Luke Dale, known for his roles in the Kingdom Come RPG series and EA's Battlefield V, has announced that he bought a tavern in the Czech Republic and plans to turn it into a medieval-inspired social gathering place with great food and drinks. "Is this the dumbest thing I've ever done? There's a lot of competition for that title, but maybe," he said in a newly released video (via GamesRadar(https://www.gamesradar.com/games/action-rpg/kingdom-come-deliverance-2s-hans-actor-takes-his-role-so-seriously-that-hes-opening-a-real-medieval-inspired-bar-in-the-czech-capital-prague/)). The tavern, which is called the Nobleman, is located in Vinohrady. It's aiming to be a Bohemian-inspired tavern that isn't a themed pub or a tourist destination, but instead a cozy gathering place with good beer and food. He said he aims to offer British and Czech food, along with his favorite kinds of beer (which he did not name). The plan is also to lean into the medieval vibe, with things like shields and other trinkets adorning the walls. He also admitted that he is very new to this, and there is "so much work to done," so his plans today could change in the future. In any event, Dale said his job as an actor and streamer doesn't always feel "real" to him, so he wanted to have a physical space in the world that "felt real." He said he is "so humbled and appreciative" of the Czech Republic, where he moved years ago, and that the aim is for the Nobleman to be a "love letter to Prague." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1fPxje7SLHk This was the first in his video series for the tavern, and he will release follow-up videos over time as the project progresses. As for the Kingdom Come series, developer Warhorse is working on a new entry in the series as well as a The Lord of the Rings RPG(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/new-lord-of-the-rings-rpg-heres-everything-we-know/).
🎮 Multi-platformWhy People Think GTA 6 News Is Coming Imminently
Rockstar owner Take-Two will release its next earnings report on August 7, but instead of coming after the market closes at 4 PM ET, the report is being released before(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/gta-6-fans-are-getting-excited-again-for-a-date-in-august-as-take-two-makes-a-notable-change/) it opens that day at 9:30 AM ET. Another unusual element is that the report is coming on a Friday. What does it all mean? We don't know for sure, but one stock analyst said this setup suggests a major announcement about GTA 6(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/grand-theft-auto-6-everything-we-know/1100-6503729/) could come before August 7. Gabelli Funds portfolio manager Alec Boccanfuso said (via SeekingAlpha(https://seekingalpha.com/news/4623701-take-two-earnings-preview-all-eyes-on-gta-6-updates)) that the unusual timing could be a setup to give investors time to digest a big announcement of some kind before the earnings report. !(https://www.gamespot.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/GTA6.jpg?w=636) Is the next GTA 6 trailer coming this week? This lines up with a report from Insider Gaming's Tom Henderson(https://x.com/playb0y4L/status/2083311581706817656/video/1?s=46) that suggested the next GTA 6 trailer could land on Thursday, August 6. Take-Two boss Strauss Zelnick has also stated that the marketing push for GTA 6 will begin this summer(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/why-gta-6-parent-company-is-talking-about-eating-red-meat-for-breakfast/1100-6537914/), so there could be some announcement tied to that. GTA 6 launches on November 19 for PS5 and Xbox Series X|S, and expectations are sky high. Analyst Nick McKay of Freedom Capital Markets said GTA 6 could sell 30 million copies in its first three months. He said the GTA franchise overall is now "much larger" than it was when GTA 5 came out in 2013 and that the "pent-up demand for GTA 6 should be significantly higher." In other news, The Last of Us co-director Bruce Straley recently said he isn't sure if he's interested in GTA 6(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/the-last-of-us-co-director-asks-why-you-even-care-about-gta-6-and-the-internet-has-thoughts/). He asked people to tell him why they're excited for the game, and he got a lot of responses(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/the-last-of-us-co-director-asks-why-you-even-care-about-gta-6-and-the-internet-has-thoughts/).

🎮 PlayStation, Xbox, Multi-platformBlack Ops 1 And 2 Ports Sold 11 Million Copies Combined On PlayStation, Benefitting Both Xbox And Sony
The recently released ports of Call of Duty: Black Ops 1 and 2 for PlayStation sold more than 11 million combined copies, generating nearly half a billion dollars, according to industry analyst Rhys Elliott(https://x.com/superhys/status/2084775534874231037?s=46). The games, which were developed by Iron Galaxy, were shadow-dropped on PS4 and PS5 on July 9, featuring campaign, multiplayer, and Zombies. The games were not remakes with improved graphics or new features, but instead "straight 1080p ports," as Elliott put it. Technical experts found that the ports feature barely any noticeable improvements at all(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/the-new-playstation-black-ops-ports-feel-like-the-bare-minimum/), and that was the whole point for many. Fans wanted the OG experience, made available on modern systems. According to Elliott, the $40 games sold so exceptionally well due to massive pent-up demand (the games are available to PS Plus subscribers for $20 until August 6). Previously, the only way to play the games on PlayStation was to find an old PS3 and go from there since they were never made available via backwards compatibility on PS4 or PS5. "As per our estimates, Black Ops 2 sold 8.2M copies on PlayStation (93% on PS5, 7% on PS4) for about $325M, while Black Ops 1 sold 3.0M (94% via PS5) for $110M. Combined, that’s $435M on PlayStation in under a month," Elliott said. !(https://www.gamespot.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/blackops-1.webp) The Black Ops ports were hugely popular. Microsoft and Activision are the big winners here, and so is Sony--its 30% cut works out to about $130 million "for doing basically nothing" but hosting them, Elliott said. "Basically zero marketing or ongoing development costs are eating into that check. That single month of cataloge CoD sales on a rival platform effectively funds a massive slice of Xbox’s quarterly first-party operational overhead," Elliott explained. "And the combined $435M is already nearly as much as Forza Horizon 6 has made via base game sales all year." Elliott described the move to release the Black Ops ports as a "low effort, low risk, high reward catalogue mining." Activision also released $30 DLC bundles for both games, featuring many multiplayer maps. He added that the success of the Black Ops ports further demonstrates that Microsoft is not going to make Call of Duty exclusive to Xbox--there is simply too much money to be made by having Call of Duty on PlayStation. Elliott went on to say that the success of the ports also demonstrates that a "proper" reboot of Black Ops "would do absolute gangbusters." The next new Call of Duty game is this October's Modern Warfare 4. A multiplayer beta for the game goes live later this month(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/call-of-duty-modern-warfare-4-beta-dates-revealed-heres-how-to-get-in/).
The Ironmouse Sprite Is Live Now In Fortnite, But It Seems There’s More To Come
Ironmouse(https://twitch.tv/ironmouse)'s Sprite is now available to claim in Fortnite(https://www.gamespot.com/games/fortnite/), but it seems there could be more on the way as the popular VTuber teased some further content for September. On a recent stream(https://www.twitch.tv/ironmouse/clip/DeliciousSmilingMagpieRedCoat-WWpbBcHFcA1QlVct), when asked about whether she would be releasing a Fortnite skin, Ironmouse said, "Just a Sprite today. Period." She shortly followed that up with, "That's all I'm going to say ... Also, do you guys know that I have a Subathon coming up in September and a lot of cool things are happening? I'm just saying, you know." (https://www.gamespot.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/20260805DeliciousSmilingMagpieRedCoat-WWpbBcHFcA1QlVctsource.mp4) The Ironmouse Sprite was released as a standalone addition to the game in honor of her streaming anniversary on August 4. To get it, search the map for Sprite Chests, kill an opponent wearing it, or it could be found wandering the island randomly. Equipping it will take up a new inventory slot, Ironmouse will appear on your back, and you'll get the ability to regenerate health over time when low. While you're regenerating health, you'll also gain a Cloak that will give you partial invisibility, as well as the low gravity effect. While the Ironmouse Sprite is available to get now, some players were reporting issues with the item. Occasionally the Sprite would not be granted if players extracted from a match with one, or some Sprite Chests would be empty. On the issue, Ironmouse said, "If it's broken, I'm sorry, it wasn't me." After several hotfixes, it seems the Fortnite Ironmouse Sprite issues could be fixed now, but is this the last we'll see of Mousey in the battle royale? It seems like we'll have to wait until September to find out, but I, for one, would absolutely grab an Ironmouse skin.
