[Update] The stream is over, but here’s the stream in its 48-minute entirety. After hours of streaming lines of gibberish, CD Projekt Red – the developer behind The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt – is now streaming a that gameplay demo that it showed at E3. The demo is narrated by a professional narrator this time around, with disclaimers that everything is subject to change. Beware that there...
Gamescom 2018 is underway over on Cologne, Germany. For many gamers, though, it might as well be Gamescom 2077, because CD Projekt Red’s Cyberpunk 2077 is all we care about. CD Projekt Red is being understandably careful about showing off the game ahead of time – more on that in a moment – but they’re still trickling out new information here and there to keep us going. Check out these...
There are all kinds of games at E3 and some of them are just absolutely unplayable. By which I mean, they’re not available to be played, so we just look at them and hear about them. But they’re still real games, and they’re really coming. And some of them look absolutely incredible. These are our favorite games from E3 2018 that weren’t yet in playable condition. There were other games...
When I look at the world around me, and then back at a lot of my favorite fiction – Blade Runner, Neuromancer, Shadowrun – it feels like the whole cyberpunk genre is a thing of the past. After seeing CD Projekt’s Red’s Cyberpunk 2077, it feels like maybe one of my favorite genres is more current than ever. Sure, the United States isn’t formally broken up into separate nations, but it’s...
We took time out to talk about Sony, Microsoft, and Nintendo’s E3 showings and what we think they might reveal – and what we hope they reveal. But those aren’t the only 3 companies at E3. There are a whole ton of others, and a bunch of them have shows and big reveals planned. Companies like Ubisoft, CD Projekt Red, Bethesda, and Electronic Arts will be there with projects to show. So...
Game publishers and developers tend to play things pretty close to the vest and like to have big reveals. But they also have investors and financial regulations to obey, so the news we've been waiting eagerly for slips out through an investor meeting instead of a launch trailer or a website countdown. That's just what happened with word of Cyberpunk 2077, the next game from CD Projekt...
The Witcher studio CD Projekt RED doesn't often find itself in hot water with controversy, but a recent wade into the wonderful world of trademarks has irked gamers and other enthusiasts across the Internet. The company has secured the trademark for the word "cyberpunk" in preparation for its upcoming game Cyberpunk 2077. The Internet isn't having it one bit. Reddit erupted with...
When CD Projekt Red struck a deal with Polish fantasy author Andrezej Sapkowski to use his Witcher character in PC games, they’d struck gold. They just didn’t know it yet. In the company’s most recent earnings report, though, it’s pretty tough to miss. Geralt of Rivia has done a ton of work to make the company what it is today. In that report, the company revealed that the sales of the...
CD Projekt Red is one of the world’s brightest video game developers right now. Its most recent effort, The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, wontons of awards and praise, and I’m really looking forward to the developer’s work in Cyberpunk 2077. What about that name, though? In a massive and wonderful interview with studio lead Marcin Iwinski, Glixel asked about the name following a little...
Graphs are never exciting the way screenshots and trailers are, but sometimes a simple graph is all it takes to show just how truly massive something is in a way other visual media can’t. Case in point is this simple graph from CD Projekt Red showing their profits over the last few years.
