Alongside winding down support for Cyberpunk 2077, CD Projekt RED has been allocating more resources to upcoming projects. It has quite a few in development, including Project Polaris, the next title in The Witcher series kicking off a new trilogy, with over 400 developers working on it.
Though production will begin this year, associate game director Paweł Sasko on Project Orion, Cyberpunk 2077’s sequel, says the fantasy action RPG is the “most advanced” of the company’s ongoing projects. Speaking to Flow Games on its podcast about CDPR’s many in-development projects, sports bettinghe said, “Most of those are in early stages. The only differ…
Spiders’ GreedFall 2: The Dying World, a sequel to their surprise hit RPG from 2019, is now available on PC, albeit in early access. It offers multiple classes with six skill trees, six companions, three regions to explore, and about 30 percent of the game to experience. Check out the cinematic launch trailer below.
Unlike the first game, players control a Teer Fradee native, who is forcibly parted from their homeland and taken to Gacane. The mysterious Malichor runs rampant, and they must also deal with rival factions in conflict. Like the previous game, your decisions have consequences, including whether companions remain friendly.
After peaking at a little over 459,000 concurrent players on Steam at launch, Grinding Gear Games’ Path of Exile 2 has reached a new record. Its new peak is 578,569 concurrent players at this time of writing. If that weren’t enough, the action RPG has become the 15th most-played title in Steam history, with its lifetime peak ahead of Valheim, Terraria, Fallout 4, and more.
It’s all the more impressive considering the server issues faced at launch. Though Grinding Gear Games prepared capacity for one million concurrent players, early access redemptions passed that mark while sales continued to grow. Game director Jonathan Rogers warned of queues, but most couldn’t even log into the title when it went live.
Newcastle United captain Jamaal Lascelles has been rewarded for a fine start to the Premier League season with a new six-year contract.
Lascelles, 23, signed a new deal on Friday that will keep him at St James Park until 2023, having scored two winning goals already in 2017-18, against Swansea City and Stoke City.
The defender joined from Nottingham Forest in 2014 and spent an additional year on loan with his former side, meaning this is his third campaign with Newcastle s squad.
Rafael Benitez made him captain at the start of last season, in which Newcastle won promotion from the Championship.
I m over the moon, Lascelles told the club s website.
Since I came to Newcastle, I ve been happy; I love the city, the football and the fans. Everything…
ALL EYES ON HIGUAIN AS ANGRY NAPOLI LIE IN WAIT
Napoli are yet to get over Gonzalo Higuain s bitter exit to join Serie A champions Juventus. And who can blame them?
The 28-year-old made a €90million move to Turin in July, severely weakening the Partenopei, who were the biggest obstacle to Juve s fifth straight Scudetto success last season.
Higuain had scored an astonishing 36 Serie A goals, breaking the top-flight record of Gunnar Nordahl, which had stood since 1950, with a tally almost double that of Juve s Paulo Dybala, second in the scoring charts with 19.
Despite receiving the massive fee, Napoli were far from happy.
Aurelio De Laurentiis said he felt betrayed by Higuain agreeing the move after Juve met a clause in his contract, while the st…
Tokyo 2020 organisers have put standby plans in place for the final weekend of the Olympic Games in case the approaching tropical storm forces a change to the schedule.
Strong winds and heavy rain are expected to either hit Japan s east coast directly or skirt close to making landfall.

Nicolas Pepe will leave Lille during the next transfer window, the club s owner Gerard Lopez has confirmed.
The 23-year-old winger has turned heads in a prolific campaign that has him on course to finish as Ligue 1 s highest-scoring non-Paris Saint Germain player.

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger believes players who dive should be given automatic three-match bans.
The Frenchman, who saw his former striker Eduardo charged by UEFA for simulation in a Champions League qualifier against Celtic back in August 2009, said he would support disciplinary action to clamp down on cheating.
Manchester United winger Ashley Young has been criticised in recent weeks for going to ground with ease in the penalty area, which earned the Red Devils two spot kicks against QPR and Aston Villa.
Wenger believes the influx of foreign players has coincided with an increase in the regularity of diving in the Premier League but added: I must say the English players learn quickly.
The 62-year-old feels that if diving was be punished severely by…
