CD Projekt has announced that the highly anticipated patch 2.3 for Cyberpunk 2077 will arrive on June 26. This new patch is part of the studio’s ongoing effort to improve the gaming experience, following significant updates in recent months. During a recent developer stream, the community was informed about this new patch that promises to include quality of life improvements, bug fixes, and potentially new content or missions, which has generated excitement among fans.

A new patch to finalize polishing a game with a long history of fixes

Despite the enthusiasm for the progress that CD Projekt is making with Cyberpunk 2077, many players choose to take a moderate approach, considering past experiences where promises have not always been fulfilled. The online community has expressed that it could be about minor updates, such as quality adjustments, new cosmetic content, or perhaps some new missions, but with caution regarding the possibility of major changes.

Additionally, there are rumors indicating that there could be new downloadable content in development for the game. According to comments from a narrative designer, who is mentioned to have worked on the development of side missions for an upcoming expansion, the possibility arises that new adventures will be added to the world of Night City, although specific details are still scarce.

In parallel, CD Projekt has revealed that Cyberpunk 2 has left the conceptual phase and is now in pre-production, and is also working on a new patch for The Witcher 3, demonstrating its commitment to continue supporting multiple titles. With these moves, the future of Cyberpunk 2077 looks full of possibilities, although players remain attentive to see what will really be offered with the new patch.

The Witcher 4 is presented to showcase the capabilities of the new generation of graphics engines

CD Projekt Red has taken a significant step in the development of its upcoming title, The Witcher 4, by switching from its RED Engine to Unreal Engine. This decision, deemed wise by the company, is based on Unreal’s capability as a versatile tool for multiple projects, according to Julian Girbig, senior technical animator at CD Projekt Red. During the State of Unreal showcase, Girbig expressed excitement about the possibilities offered by Unreal, stating that “the process was really enjoyable” in adapting to the new engine.

CD Projekt Red has taken a significant step in the development of its upcoming title, The Witcher 4, by switching from its RED Engine to Unreal Engine. This decision, deemed wise by the company, is based on Unreal’s capability as a versatile tool for multiple projects, according to Julian Girbig, senior technical animator at CD Projekt Red. During the State of Unreal showcase, Girbig expressed excitement about the possibilities offered by Unreal, stating that “the process of adapting to the new engine was truly enjoyable.”

A very technical showcase where we didn’t see the game itself

The development team evaluated several engines before opting for Unreal, and the decision was clear upon recognizing the potential of this technology for the future, especially to tackle multiple projects simultaneously. Despite the change, Girbig emphasizes that “nothing has been lost” in the transition, and that the experience gained with the RED Engine in the development of AAA games will be crucial to leverage the advantages of the new engine.

The Witcher 4 promises an impressive visual experience, as seen in the recent technical demonstration, which highlights the region of Kovir. This demo, while captivating, was developed with in-engine capabilities and should not be interpreted as a definitive indication of the final game, as warned by the game director, Sebastian Kalemba. “The demo reflects our ambitions for the game and our capabilities within the engine,” Kalemba stated.

With an environment that captures the essence of a raw medieval world, the advancements in The Witcher 4 include stunning details, such as the anatomy of horses and other distinctive elements of realism in the game. However, it is important to keep expectations at a reasonable level, as the demo is just a first look at the future title of the saga.

Since its inception in 2012, Digital Dragons has experienced impressive growth, increasing from 300 to 2,300 participants in 2025, coming from 53 countries. This conference, held annually in Krakow, is distinguished by its focus on creating a professional space for the video game industry, prioritizing the quality of content and networking among developers.

An event that has allowed the Polish industry to grow

One of the highlights of the event is the Indie Zone, a space dedicated to independent developers where they can showcase their work. This zone has become a key place to foster creation and innovation in the sector, offering small and medium-sized enterprises the opportunity to capture the attention of the industry. Among the games presented were promising titles such as Deep Sleep: Labyrinth of the Forsaken and Bumpkin & Sprout.

The importance of the video game industry in Poland cannot be underestimated; it is considered one of the country’s main cultural exports. Since the fall of communism in 1991, Poland has been working to strengthen its identity as a nation of technology and creativity. The conference also served as a platform for young developers, with awards given to emerging studios that reflect the community’s commitment to supporting innovation.

A touching moment of the event was when 11 Bit, known for Frostpunk 2, donated their award to another winner, highlighting a strong spirit of solidarity and support among developers of different sizes. This gesture underscores the essence of Digital Dragons: a space where the developer community, whether large studios or indies, can celebrate their achievements and share experiences in a collaborative environment.

In a landscape of constant changes in the industry, Digital Dragons 2025 reaffirms its position as a stronghold for creativity and collaboration in video game development, indicating that, despite the challenges, the future for Polish video game culture is promising.

The universe of The Witcher is preparing for a new era, with Ciri as the future protagonist of the highly anticipated installment, The Witcher 4. From CD Projekt RED, the gaming community has expressed a growing interest in obtaining more details, images, and videos about this ambitious production. However, the release date still generates uncertainty.

Still without a date, but with a range where it will not come out

During the recent financial results presentation of CD Projekt, the company confirmed that The Witcher 4 will not be ready before December 2026 and will not be part of the economic objectives for that year. Although the developers have not wanted to speculate on an exact release date, they have emphasized that the game is in an active production phase, with more than 450 professionals working on it.

“We are not going to announce the exact release date of the game yet. All we can share now to give more visibility to investors is that the release is not expected to be within the initial incentive period that ends on December 31, 2026″, stated a company spokesperson.

In addition to The Witcher 4, other CD Projekt projects such as Orion, the sequel to Cyberpunk 2077, and Project Sirius, a spin-off of The Witcher, are in the concept phase, with a gradual increase in the number of staff involved. Orion is expected to have 120 dedicated employees this year.

Should Bethesda change its way of working? Former Starfield developer thinks so

Starfield was a disaster. Whether it was liked more or less, its launch was an unparalleled festival of bugs. And that’s not the worst part. The worst part is that it didn’t even resonate with the audience in the way one would expect from a Bethesda game. It was liked. It sold well. It worked among critics. But it wasn’t a sweeping success like Fallout or Skyrim: it was simply a game that worked well, in a discreet manner. In other words, it was a disaster by Bethesda’s standards. And this is something that could have been avoided, according to a former developer of the studio. According to Nate Purkeypile, an artist who […]

Starfield was a disaster. Like it or not, its launch was an unparalleled festival of bugs. And that’s not the worst part. The worst part is that it didn’t even resonate with the audience in the way one would expect from a Bethesda game. It was liked. It sold well. It worked among critics. But it wasn’t a runaway success like Fallout or Skyrim: it was simply a game that performed well, in a discreet manner. In other words, it was a disaster by Bethesda’s standards. And this is something that could have been avoided, according to a former developer of the studio.

According to Nate Purkeypile, an artist who worked at Bethesda for many years and who has now given an interview to Kiwi Talkz for the release of his game The Axis Unseen, one of the reasons for Starfield’s failure is the use of its internal engine, the Creation Engine. An engine that is not only outdated but also extremely difficult to use.

In Purkeypile’s words, the reason he has been able to release his game in just three years is because Unreal Engine 5 is a tool that has allowed him to automate many of the most laborious development processes. Something impossible with Creation Engine. And if he had used the engine they used at Bethesda, he would have spent hundreds more hours just polishing details. This makes him think that Bethesda should change their graphics engine if they want to thrive again in the future.

Is Unreal Engine the Future of Bethesda?

Defining working with Creation Engine as “being on a train while laying down the tracks… while both are on fire,” he has also admitted that transitioning from one engine to another involves a lot of work. But it’s worth it. In the same interview, he points out how other large studios, like CD Projekt, have done it recently due to having similar problems with their games, referencing the disaster that was the launch of Cyberpunk 2077.

Will Bethesda stop using the Creation Engine? Only time will tell. Although we are inclined to say no, we also didn’t think CD Projekt would make the jump to Unreal Engine. So, we’ll see if they end up listening to Purkeypile or not. And with which engine they release their next game, which should be the next Fallout.

“Phantom Liberty” has been a success beyond CD Projekt’s expectations

Phantom Liberty has been a success beyond CD Projekt’s expectations, making the studio’s security with Cyberpunk 2077 grow

CD Projekt seems to turn everything they touch into gold. Whether we like it more or less, whether the outcome is better or worse, the truth is that the sales of all their games have been excellent since they created a little game called “The Witcher.” And that hasn’t changed. Even with the release of Cyberpunk 2077, a game riddled with bugs and far from what was promised, they managed to achieve incredible sales. What wouldn’t they achieve if the game worked well and delivered at least part of what was promised?

Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty DOWNLOAD

CD Projekt has unveiled the sales figures for “Phantom Liberty,” the expansion for Cyberpunk 2077, which, as expected, have been remarkably notable. Especially considering how well the original game performed.

During its first week, Phantom Liberty sold three million copies across PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, and PC. Now, CD Projekt states that, after two months on the market, the expansion has already sold 4.3 million copies. This has led Adam Kiciński, CEO of CD Projekt, to affirm that it reinforces their plans to continue developing the franchise in the near future.

As Kiciński himself recently explained, Cyberpunk 2077 has sold nearly 25 million copies worldwide since its launch in December 2020. This means that, despite its questionable state upon release and delivering less than promised, it has sold much faster than The Witcher 3 did at its time, making Cyberpunk 2077 a resounding success despite the problems it has faced over time.

This trend doesn’t seem to be slowing down anytime soon. After all, CD Projekt has announced the release of Cyberpunk 2077 Ultimate Edition on December 5th, an edition of the game that will include the Phantom Liberty expansion, available for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, and PC. Therefore, it’s expected that the spectacular sales figures of Cyberpunk 2077 will only continue to grow in the future.

Cyberpunk 2077 now has a Doom clone starring Keanu Reeves… and it’s wonderful

Cyberpunk 2077 has improved noticeably with Phantom Liberty and its 2.0 update, for example, giving us a Doom clone

Few cases of redemption have been as spectacular in recent years as that of Cyberpunk 2077. If the 2.0 update already improved it significantly, with its expansion Phantom Liberty, both critics and the public now see it with the eyes CD Projekt wanted from the beginning: as an excellent RPG with FPS elements. The reason is that, at last, they have paid attention to the details. And one of those details is a tribute as beautiful as it is hilarious.

Cyberpunk 2077 DOWNLOAD

In the 2.0 update of the game, Cyberpunk 2077 included a new arcade machine that allowed you to play a game within the game. Its name is Arasaka Tower 3D. And what is it about? Well, it’s basically a Doom clone, but with Keanu Reeves’ character, Johnny Silverhand, as the protagonist.

This, in addition to being a very cute and amusing tribute, is a nod that solidifies the game’s own narrative. Silverhand is a famous rock musician who caused a stir all over Night City, so it makes sense for him to star in his own video game. But it’s also a nod outside of the video game. After all, Keanu Reeves is a big fan of Doom and iD Software games, so much so that he did the (excellent) soundtrack for the first Quake. This connects a series of charming tributes and nods.

If you want to play Arasaka Tower 3D, it’s quite easy. Besides having the game updated to version 2.0, you’ll need to head to the Badlands region, go south, and look for an abandoned church north of a protein farm. Interestingly, this farm also happens to be a fast travel point, so if you’ve unlocked it, you’ll have an easy time finding the church. Once there, enter the church, and to your right, you’ll find the Arasaka Tower 3D machine.

The game includes five levels, several secret doors, and it doesn’t last more than ten minutes in total, but it’s a fun and charming tribute. So, if you’re a fan of Doom and have returned to Cyberpunk 2077 during its recent resurgence, take the opportunity to venture into the forbidden realms of Arasaka Tower 3D.

Discovering the Gifts of Phantom Liberty: What’s Free in Cyberpunk 2077

The Cyberpunk expansion is just around the corner, promising to bring it closer to everything we were promised the game would be.

The story of “The Ugly Duckling” is highly relevant to the video game industry. The number of video games that initially released as complete disasters or were scorned by the audience, but over time proved themselves as masterpieces or at least decent and enjoyable games, is a much longer list than games that were instant hits. While most of these were misunderstood, some are in this category because they were genuinely bad from the start. Very bad. In fact, one of these games continues on its mission to redeem itself from its shortcomings.

Steam DOWNLOAD

Cyberpunk 2077 was a game that promised us the moon and delivered a river stone at its launch. Right between the eyes. However, this doesn’t negate the fact that CD Projekt Red has been working on it to fix all its bugs, add content, and while it still doesn’t fulfill all its promises, it’s now a better game that can satisfy a certain audience. That’s what it’s aiming for with its first and only DLC.

Revealed during the Opening Night Live of Gamescom 2023, this DLC expansion is called Phantom Liberty. With an explosive trailer full of action, it introduces numerous new customization options along with fresh content. Among the expected features are a new district, dozens of new missions and assignments, combat vehicle weaponry, a revamped police system and enemy AI, dynamic events, redesigned abilities, a new relic skill tree and abilities, an increased level cap, and over 100 new items.

All of this will be coming for free in the game’s 2.0 update. However, there’s a catch. It will only be available for Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, PlayStation 5, and PC versions. Those who have the PlayStation 4 or Xbox One version won’t be able to enjoy this update.

Scheduled for release on September 26th, this seems to be the grand unveiling for the redemption of Cyberpunk 2077. To become, if not exactly what it promised to be, at least something closer to all those promises.
