Published by Webster

A sequel to Cyberpunk 2077, codenamed Project Orion, is in the works at CD Projekt Red. The Polish studio has stayed tightlipped on the project since it was first announced in 2022, but sparse details about the game have surfaced over time. Now, Cyberpunk franchise creator Mike Pondsmith has shared new information about the Cyberpunk 2077 sequel, revealing that the game would include a second location in addition to Night City. Cyberpunk 2077 Sequel to Feature New Location Pondsmith, who created the Cyberpunk tabletop RPG that inspired the setting, characters and story of Cyberpunk 2077, addressed Project Orion in a new interview with Polish outlet TVGRY at the Digital Dragons Conference. He said while he was not as directly involved with the sequel as he was with the first game, he had seen the scripts for the sequel. “Last week I was wandering around, talking to different departments and seeing what they had, ‘Oh look, this is the new cyberware, what do you think?’ ‘Oh yeah, that’s pretty good, that works here.’,” Pondsmith said. He …

Cyberpunk 2077 Sequel Could Get ‘Most Realistic and Reactive Crowd System’ in a Game Yet

Published by Webster

CD Projekt Red has been working on the sequel to Cyberpunk 2077, which was first announced in 2022. The Polish company set up a new studio in Boston, Massachusetts, at the time to spearhead development on the action-RPG alongside its existing Vancouver-based team. While CDPR revealed The Witcher 4 in December, the developer has remained tightlipped on the Cyberpunk sequel. New details about the game, however, have finally surfaced that shed some light on one of the game’s planned open world features. Cyberpunk 2077 Sequel Details According to role descriptions for an open position at CD Projekt Red’s Boston studio, the Cyberpunk 2077 sequel will feature “the most realistic and reactive crowd system in any game to date”. The studio is looking to hire a Lead Encounter Designer for the Cyberpunk 2077 sequel, codenamed Orion. According to the job description, the role would require the person to “help formulate solutions for and help create memorable gameplay encounters that will thrill and excite our players”. Further daily responsibilities of the role require the person to “work …

Cyberpunk 2077 will be available to play at no cost as part of a limited trial over the coming weekend, according to developer CD Projekt Red. The popular game will be free to play for a few hours on current generation consoles from Microsoft and Sony, but not for PC gamers.

Cyberpunk is out and solarpunk is in, according to Figma’s CEO

Published by Webster

Cyberpunk design has been all the rage for several years now — this very website was once awash in neon colors and hard edges, you might recall — but Figma CEO Dylan Field says he sees glimmers of optimism taking over. “I think that we were really futurist, really cyberpunk for a while,” the founder of the popular design tool company told the crowd at a live taping of Decoder at SXSW when asked to compare the Cybertruck with the just-announced Rivian R3. “A lot of neon lines, a lot of hard edges, a lot of poly or low-poly sort of metaphors. And it feels like we’re going more humanist. It feels like we’re going maybe more solarpunk.” Cyberpunk.Photo by Sean O’Kane / The Verge Solarpunk has been around for a few years now — long enough that the conservative American Enterprise Institute wrote an entire blog post about how it’s a dangerous liberal fantasy somehow tied to AOC! — and it usually looks like Tears of the Kingdom fan art. Think abundant energy, organic …

Palworld Hits Fifth-Highest Peak Concurrent Players in Steam History, Beats Cyberpunk and Elden Ring

Published by Webster

Palworld, an open-world action-adventure title where players can combat and capture Pokemon-like creatures, has become a phenomenon, rising to the top of Steam charts days within launch. The game, which also incorporates elements of the survival genre, now has the fifth-highest peak concurrent players in the history of the Valve storefront, going past heavyweight titles like Cyberpunk 2077, Elden Ring and Hogwarts Legacy. Palword developers Pocketpair also confirmed Monday that the game has sold over five million copies within three days of launch. Released on January 19, Palworld, popularly described as “Pokemon with guns,” is tearing up Steam charts to become one of the most played titles in the platform’s history.

The action-adventure survival title is now only behind games like PUBG: Battlegrounds, Counter Strike 2, Lost Ark and DOTA 2. Palworld’s massive success also means that it has left behind top-selling games like Cyberpunk 2077, Elden Ring …

The Cyberpunk 2077 quest where you throw Elon Musk in the trash

Published by Webster

Spoilers ahead for Cyberpunk 2077. If you’ve ever wanted to experience throwing Elon Musk down a garbage chute, there is, to my knowledge, at least one option: a side quest in Cyberpunk 2077. For a video game about dystopian wealth disparity, AI-driven cars, and downloading your consciousness into other bodies, Cyberpunk 2077 is oddly short on Musk references. The one it does contain comes from the “Violence” side quest. In it, you meet chrome-skinned pop superstar Lizzy Wizzy, voiced by real-life singer-songwriter Grimes, who was still in a relationship with Musk at the time of the video game’s release in 2020.  Here, Lizzy Wizzy hires the protagonist, V, to surveil her boyfriend, whom she suspects of cheating. It’s a pretty bloodless job — heck, downright lawful compared to the other hijinks you’re getting up to — and V seems taken aback by how low the stakes are. Why not just ask him? “Imagine this — we’re never alone, not really. Always surrounded by assistants, PR reps, makeup artists,” she says. “I stop smiling at him for one millisecond, …

Steam has launched its annual Autumn Sale, offering heavy discounts on a slew of games, across both the AAA and indie landscape. The promotion is scheduled to run until November 29, at 11:30pm IST, offering price drops of up to 90 percent off on select PC games. Gamers can claim offers on critical darlings like Red Dead Redemption 2, coming in with a historically low price tag of Rs. 1,055. Capcom’s latest Monster Hunter entry, Rise has gone down by 50 percent this time, and is listed at Rs. 1,199. Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice can be purchased at its regular 50 percent discount, but its developer FromSoftware has not put the Dark Souls trilogy up for sale. The trilogy’s online PvP features were recently restored, following a 10-month-long downtime after the discovery of a critical security vulnerability. The trilogy returning to its original state caused fans to speculate it will finally go on sale, though it seems publisher Bandai Namco has different ideas. Cyberpunk 2077, which saw a massive resurgence in player count last month, …
