Years before Cyberpunk 2077 bailed on the idea, CD Projekt Red wanted The Witcher, the first RPG in the series, to have multiplayer.Speaking at a Digital Dragons talk attended by GamesRadar+, CDPR senior technical writer Adrian Fulneczek discusses the dusty documentation that’s home to the first scratches of what The Witcher would become.”If the state of your documentation is this black hole, this means you have to reverse-engineer everything,” he says, “and basically reverse-engineer your own legacy. Since I’ve mentioned legacy: we don’t have much in digital form, but we have some physical documents, and we would like to show…
Modern entertainment is surprisingly nostalgic, and occasionally cynical. I keep getting pelted from every angle with movie sequels that are 20 years late, TV show reboots after decades on hiatus, and surprising video game revivals like Nintendo’s upcoming Star Fox 64 remake and rumored Zelda: Ocarina of Time remake. Reaching into the well is almost always guaranteed to make a company some money, former Nintendo marketing leads Kit Ellis and Krysta Yang agree in a new video, and Nintendo, in particular, won’t stop until the well is dry.”They certainly have the most nostalgia available to them of pretty much everybody…
The Mandalorian and Grogu has debuted to a rather low Rotten Tomatoes score from critics who seem to think that the new Star Wars movie is equal parts cute and boring.The movie, directed by Jon Favreau and co-written by Favreau, Dave Filoni, and Noah Kloor, picks up after season 3 of the hit Disney Plus show and sees Din Djarin and his tiny green son embark on a multi-planet mission to save Rotta the Hutt (Jeremy Allen White) in exchange for some anti-Imperial information. It currently sits at a 60% on Rotten Tomatoes based on 103 reviews, though I’m pretty…

It didn’t take long for Arc Raiders players to work out that the Survivor augment, which provides a comfy combination of shield options, inventory space, weight limit, and quick-use slots, is fantastic in basically every situation. That hasn’t really changed since the game launched despite the introduction of other high-end augments (which do have use cases!), so developer Embark Studios has directly buffed a few options to help freshen up loadouts.In a May 19 patch, Embark upgraded the Tactical Mk. 3 (Healing) augment considerably. Previously, this bag came with a fairly underwhelming healing cloud effect that triggered when you were…

The day that all of you Civvers have been hoping for is here. Firaxis have been promising Civilization 7’s Test of Time update for a while now, and as I write these words into existence, that very update is available for you to download, complete with the most requested feature, the ability to play as one civ for a whole campaign.

Now, any civ you decide…
If you jump into the new Fortnite map to check out the start of the movie, you’ll also be treated to a special message from director Jon Favreau. I’m going to visit the island myself to check out the clip so that I can decide whether I want to head to the theater to see the whole thing this weekend. Epic Games call it “their most immersive Fortnite island experience yet,” so it’ll be worth dropping in just to see what it’s all about. The island has been created with Fairview Portals, which is Jon Favreau’s storytelling creative studio. The…

Oh I do love a good bit of silliness, I do. Does the heart wonders! Today my daily dose of it comes in the form of a game called Johan, a very Sekiro-esque action game where you play as a rabbit that has leapt from the pages of a medieval manuscript into the world of the living in order to get “revenge against the armies of knights that ravage the land.” The Sekiro comparison is apparent from all of the parrying seen throughout the game’s first proper gameplay trailer, complete with appropriate dazzling flashes to tell you when…
