In an updated roadmap, CD Projekt has revealed that any further updates, including the free DLC and next-gen console updates, will not be coming until 2022. Effectively, there will be no more Cyberpunk 2077 updates for the remainder of the year.
CD Projekt released an updated roadmap on October 28. Along with the previously announced next-gen update delay for Cyberpunk 2077 and The Witcher 3, the new roadmap ends 2021 with Patch 1.31 which was released in September.
The Cybperunk 2077 roadmap has undergone a couple of changes since it was first revealed, with plans for free DLC and the next-gen console update planned for the second half of 2022. But Cyberpunk 2077 faced numerous hurdles, particularly on consoles, and many agree...

Microsoft has revealed the Games With Gold lineup for next month. The lineup includes Moving Out, Kingdom Two Crowns, Rocket Knight, and Lego Batman 2 DC Super Heroes.
Moving Out is a wacky co-op game that takes cues from Overcooked. However, instead of cooking crazy dishes, you're moving furniture out of homes. In our Moving Out review, we said, "Provided you’ve got at least one friend in tow to share the load and the laughs, Moving Out is an absolute blast."
Rocket Knight and Lego Batman 2 were both originally Xbox 360 titles that are available through backwards compatibility. In Rocket Knight, the hero from Sega's Sparkster series returns for a retro action game experience. In Lego Batman 2, the caped crusader is joined by classic...
Capcom's pleased with how its 2020 remake of Resident Evil 3 turned out. The publisher called the game (along with Monster Hunter Rise) a "hit" in its annual report published today, and it has the numbers to back it up: the game has sold 3.9 million units.
That's more than its original incarnation, 1999's Resident Evil 3, sold, as it only achieved 3.5 copies. Capcom attributes the remake's success to its digital sales strategy, and incidentally, the remake probably sold a few more than that, as that 3.9 million number comes from March 31 of this year. Understandable, given that we felt it was "another stellar remake of a classic survival horror from Capcom" in our review last year.
In an industry that likes to hide sales numbers...
A tactical RPG adventure, Disciples: Liberation is a fun outing in a fantasy world that puts you in the shoes of a classic RPG protagonist with special powers, a motley crew of companions, and a bone to pick with fate... then just keeps escalating the stakes further than you'd ever expect them to go. In fact, it punches above its weight class in the quality of its combat and content, but lets itself down with a disorganized mess of extra systems and some very prominent bugs.
Blending a turn-based tactics game with a proper RPG, Disciples: Liberation has you wander through isometric environments as you play through a hefty 80-hour RPG story – I did more than a few sidequests and optional fights, ending up at 92 hours played. It's not...
Roblox is experiencing major server issues, and some fans are blaming Chipotle for the outage.
A Roblox Status Twitter account said that as of last night, over 3 million players were impacted by the outage. The official Roblox account addressed the outage this morning, saying they are working hard to get things back to normal.
While fans are waiting to get back online, some are poking fun at a Chipotle promotion within Roblox, saying it's to blame for the outage. The promotion, called the Chipotle Boorito Maze, is an official crossover with the fast-casual food chain where Roblox players can dress up in a Chipotle-inspired costume, and visit a cashier for a free burrito that can be redeemed at a Chipotle restaurant in real life...

The developers of Halo Infinite have discussed their “love-hate relationship” with the Brute that started the Craig meme. While the subject of ridicule, the character model ultimately granted the team at 343 Industries more time to bring Halo Infinite up to a better level of quality.
“While it was fun to see the community gravitate towards Craig, he unfortunately represented some content and systems that were not ready for prime time in that demo,” said Steve Dyck, Character & Combat Director on Halo Infinite, in a new Halo Insider post. “The positive outcome of Craig was that he was one of the factors in gaining some more time to finish work and get Brutes to a place where the team is happy with them. This is one of the many positive...
Remember Amy Hennig's big AAA, story-driven project with Skydance Media announced back in 2019? Good news: it's a Marvel game.
Skydance announced the collaboration with Marvel Entertainment today, though it's not ready to reveal further details about which Marvel characters might be involved in their endeavor. All we know is that it is being marketed as a "narrative-driven, blockbuster action-adventure game" and "a completely original story and take on the Marvel Universe."
“I can’t imagine a better partner than Marvel for our first game,” said Hennig. “The Marvel Universe epitomizes all the action, mystery and thrills of the pulp adventure genre that I adore and lends itself perfectly to an interactive experience. It’s an honor to...

Capcom has said that Resident Evil Village is set to receive free DLC sometime in the future.
News of the free DLC was published in the company's recent annual integrated report. As part of the lengthy document, which looks back on the studio's year as a whole and also outlines its plans for the future, Capcom's Director and Executive Officer, Yoichi Egawa, spoke briefly about the company's development strategy and how plans for Resident Evil Village would factor into that.
"We will drive our customer management to understand the playing trends and preferences of users while also building a business model for online operations," said Egawa. "Taking into account the situation of our free additional DLC for titles such as Monster...

Call of Duty: Warzone's new Pacific map debuts on December 2, a little less than a month after Call of Duty: Vanguard launches on November 5.
Activision released Call of Duty's new content roadmap on Thursday, laying out the important dates that will lay the groundwork for transitioning players from Verdansk to the sandy shores of Caldera. Several new images of Caldera were also revealed.
It's all laid out in Call of Duty's colossal blog, but here are the highlights you need to know.
October 28 (console) and November 2 (PC): Call of Duty: Vanguard pre-loading begins. If you're worried that your hard drive will choke on yet another Call of Duty install, the good news is that Vanguard will be 30% to 50% smaller than previous games'...
There’s a technique popular in classical music called variation: a composer will take a single melody or musical idea and explore it in many different ways, potentially twisting it into dozens of different styles and structures without the overall work ever getting repetitive or tiresome. While that’s not exactly a concept unique to music, it is a practice I couldn’t help but be reminded of while playing Inscryption – an undoubtedly odd connection to make, given that it presents itself as a horror-themed roguelite deck-building card game. But dig beneath that somewhat familiar shell and it reveals itself to be nothing short of a symphony of exciting twists, clever concepts, and consistently surprising iterations on the fundamentals that...
You'd be forgiven if, glancing through Ubisoft's earnings announcements today, you didn't immediately catch onto yet another game delay stealthily snuck in: it's Tom Clancy's The Division Heartland.
When free-to-play Heartland was first announced back in May of this year, it was given a broad release window of sometime either this year or next year. Just a few days later, Ubisoft clarified that a bit to fiscal 2021 - 2022, meaning the period from April 2021 running up to March 2022.
Heartland skipped E3 earlier this year, and Ubisoft seemed quiet on it during its last quarterly earnings, leaving some wondering if it wasn't about time to start showing the game off a bit more if it was indeed coming this fiscal year. Turns out, it is...
Age of Empires 4 was released to strong critical praise today and it's led to a strong player count on Steam which is certainly off to a great start.
Age of Empires 4 reached a concurrent player count of 54,239 people on Steam as of 10:36 AM PT on Thursday, according to SteamDB. That places it comfortably above Age of Empires 2: Definitive Edition's all-time peak player count of 38,725 people.
That of course doesn't count the number of players playing it on Game Pass for PC or through the Microsoft Store, which Microsoft hasn't released info on as of yet.
Compared to other popular Steam titles and Age of Empire 4's 54,000 players are still pretty impressive. Relic's new strategy game is currently beating Rainbow Six Siege's current...
Universal Pictures and Epic Games are partnering up together to create an original short-form miniseries called "We Will Be Monsters." The first episode will drop on October 28 inside Fortnite as part of the game's Shortnitemares Festival. It will reimagine the Bride of Frankenstein and Dracula.
"We Will Be Monsters" takes Universal's iconic characters from works like the Bride of Frankenstein and The Mummy and adapts them to modern times. The original Universal monster movies were focused on European origins, but now this new miniseries will go global and feature locations such as Hong Kong, Morocco, Los Angeles, and Lagos.
“This is another manifestation of our monsters, and they have never been depicted this diverse,” says Abhijay...
Even as Ubisoft released several well-received, blockbuster games in the last few years, the French-Canadian company has nonetheless been having a time of it.
First, and most importantly, there have been ongoing allegations of toxic work culture, leadership, and sexual harassment at the studio first publicized last year. This was reinvigorated in light of similar allegations at Activision Blizzard and accusations that Ubisoft hadn't done enough in the past year to fix the company's culture.
Then there are all the delays. Ubisoft has been delaying multiple games, repeatedly, on an annual basis, for some time now. There was Rainbow Six Extraction, Immortals: Fenyx Rising, and Watch Dogs: Legion delayed back in 2019, and then Extraction...
Ubisoft just concluded its Q2 earnings call, a strange event where relatively-okay financial numbers were overshadowed by the company being on the defensive due to delays, workplace allegations, and questions about free-to-play. But one element that seemed to make both Ubisoft and investors happy was the discussion of blockchain.
Ubisoft's future blockchain ambitions were mentioned both in its earnings release and a few times during the call. As noted in its press release, Ubisoft is funding blockchain gaming company Animoca Brands, which advertises itself on its website as "the global leader in branded blockchain gaming."
Animoca's current projects include Revv Motorsport, Revv Racing, and upcoming game Formula E: High Voltage, all...

During today's Facebook Connect, CEO Mark Zuckerberg announced that Rockstar's classic open-world game Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas is coming Oculus Quest 2.
While no footage of the VR port was shown, Oculus Quest 2 is no stranger to porting classic games and re-imagining them for VR. Oculus previously worked with Armature and Capcom to bring Resident Evil 4 to VR.

In a surprising announcement during today's State of Play, Tri-Ace and Square Enix brought out the big space guns with an announcement of the next entry in the Star Ocean series, entitled Star Ocean: The Divine Force.
The Divine Force looks to follow in the footsteps of Integrity and Faithlessness as an action RPG, and appears to feature two heroes: a blonde man and a white-haired woman, among other party members. While the trailer was light on info, we got plenty more details in a PlayStation blog post that revealed our heroes as Raymond and Laeticia, a space captain and a crown princess who come together on a quest to save Laeticia's kingdom and find Raymond's crewmate Chloe.
Returning to the series is the "double hero" system...

Capcom has announced that Resident Evil: Village has sold 5 million copies globally, reaching the milestone somewhat quicker than its predecessor Resident Evil 7: Biohazard. The news comes as Capcom reports record level sales and profits for a second quarter.
As announced in a press release, Capcom has confirmed that Resident Evil: Village has now sold over 5 million units globally.

The announcement comes at the same time as a new video, which emphasizes the interactivity in Wild West’s world. WolfEye wants every item that looks to be interactive to work how you’d expect it to, and so many layers of simulation have been...
