Want to know exactly when you can start playing Cyberpunk 2077 in your region? Well, I can’t say I’m surprised. Cyberpunk 2077 is, without question, the most anticipated game this side of 2020, and from the trailers and previews we’ve seen so far, there looks to be a lot of reasons to be excited. CD Projekt Red’s latest adventure takes players through the dark and dangerous streets of Night City as Keanu Reeves whispers sweet nothings into your ear....

One of the most anticipated titles for 2020 is Cyberpunk 2077, CD Projekt RED’s take on a dystopian world centered on the sprawling location known as Night City. Fans have been waiting quite a while for this game as it was originally announced all the way back in 2012 and has suffered through multiple delays including one just announced last week. Thankfully, the studio is planning to ease that wait a bit with tomorrow’s special Night City Wire stream....

Although Cyberpunk 2077’s release has been pushed back until November 19, there is some good news that eager fans will be pleased to hear - the game will be backwards compatible on the PS5 and the Xbox Series X, as well as optimized and upgraded to take advantage of next-generation hardware. The news about the announcement comes from an investor call that was conducted yesterday after Cyberpunk 2077’s delay. In it, CD Projekt Red (CDPR) CEO Adam Kiciński and VP of business development Michał Nowakowski took the time to address the delay and host a Q&A session to answer all possible questions that investors may have had....

It appears as if the wait for the PC version of Death Come True isn’t going to be that long. Having recently launched on Switch and mobile devices at the end of June, the trippy, time-bending FMV mystery from Danganronpa creator Kazutaka Kodaka will be coming to PC very soon. In fact, it will launch next Friday, July 17, 2020, on the platform. That’s really surprising and super nice. If you’re dying to get a look at it, the Steam store page is currently live....

Kenneth Branagh’s Death on the Nile is finally upon us. It’s been nearly five years since the filmmaker’s first outing as Agatha Christie’s legendary detective Hercule Poirot ended with the super sleuth solving the Murder on the Orient Express and then accepting a case that would take him to Egypt. But due to Disney’s acquisition of 20th Century Fox and then the COVID-19 pandemic, we’ve waited what feels like lifetimes to see how that second case would look on-screen....

From what Arkane Studios has shown of the upcoming title Deathloop, it looks like understanding patterns and learning the different mechanical and personal traits of enemies will be an important step to success. However, one of those enemies revealed in the latest Deathloop trailers might give the most insight on how a to succeed as a time-looping assassin. This extra enemy would be the Julianna Blake, an enemy assassin that other players can take control of in Deathloop to kill Colt, though she can still appear as an AI character when playing offline....

Bungie has detailed the changes coming to all three Titan subclasses next week in Destiny’s December update, nerfing Sunbreakers while buffing Strikers and Defenders. Since launch, Destiny has been constantly tweaked and rebalanced. In a game where the player can take weapons back and forth from PvE to PvP, balancing for both has led to numerous adjustments. With the launch of The Taken King, it became clear that one subclass in particular was favored by many players, the new Titan Sunbreaker, which became a powerful force in the Crucible....

It’s been an interesting week for Xur, Destiny’s ever-present exotic armor and weapon vendor. While most only see Xur’s face on the weekends, this week Bungie was kind enough to let the Agent of the Nine out of his cage a little early, and gave him access to their Instagram account this past Tuesday. While on social media, Xur offered Destiny players a first look at some of The Taken King’s new exotic weapons and armor pieces, many of which he will sell, or will at least have the potential of selling....

When Destiny 2: Forsaken launches this September it will give returning and new players a way to boost their characters up to level so they can jump right into the new content coming in the expansion. This will allow gamers picking up Destiny 2 for the first time a chance to skip the game’s first year of content, and it could also be helpful for fans who may not have played Destiny 2 in a while due to its troubles in Year 1....

Destiny 2’s latest update this past week changed the Nightfall Strike, removing its timer and adding a scoring system that connects to special emblem achievements for obtaining a certain score level. While developer Bungie detailed the Nightfall’s new emblem variants, players were left wondering exactly how to earn them. Since Tuesday, Destiny 2 players have been crossing score thresholds (the top score according to Bungie is a whopping 222,873) and some players have been getting the emblem variants to drop while others in the same fireteam are not....

With the release of the Beyond Light expansion, Bungie instituted a lot of major changes to the game. Many of these were positive from the cleaner UI, the new Europa destination, Ghost and Champion mods, and more. However, for all of the good, the community was also introduced to a couple of controversial features which remain at the forefront of discussion to this day. The Destiny Content Vault was created as a way for Bungie to essentially remove legacy content from the game, potentially updating and returning it to the game at a later date....

It’s been a wild week for Bungie and its hit game, Destiny 2. At long last, Bungie finally released the highly anticipated next generation update for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S owners to take advantage of. This includes vastly improved load times, 4K 6o frames per second visual performance, and 120 FPS in the Crucible as well. All players can grab an enhanced version of the companion app as well, which now lets players pick up bounties, interact with the postmaster, and more....

Although originally scheduled to come to an end July 23 at 9 p.m. Pacific, the Destiny 2 beta has been extended for an extra 45 hours. It will now come to a close on Tuesday, July 25 at 6 p.m. But, while players will get some extra time to play the beta, the game’s developer says that participants should be ready to experience some technical tests. Monday and Tuesday will be dedicated to some more turbulent testing to further prepare for Destiny 2....

As part of the forthcoming Destiny 2 update 2.2.2, Xur’s broken Invitation of the Nine Quest, “The Tower,” is getting its fix approximately two weeks after the issue was discovered. However, because of the set-up and dating of the update and Xur’s next reset, the overarching story will only be delayed by one week. To be more specific, the latest Invitation of the Nine Quest requires players to kill Hive, Scorn, and Vex in the Tangled Shore, but there is no Vex in that location....

With a game as big as Destiny 2 there are bound to be some issues, be they glitches, bugs, or all around weirdness. Oftentimes those bugs are unintentional and developer Bungie works quickly to fix them, but occasionally they lead to some pretty involved conspiracy theories. One of the latest involves an audio cue and visual glitch when players join a friend on Titan, one of Destiny 2’s destinations. Rather than hearing the landing music for Titan and seeing the blue moon, players instead hear the Taken King theme music and see Saturn before the game loads....

Destiny 2: Forsaken is officially one week away and Guardians are gearing up to take on Uldren Sov and the Scorn Barons. Following a delay out of respect for the Jacksonville shooting, Bungie released a new launch trailer for Forsaken and it contains a feature that fans have been begging for since the launch of the game. It seems that Bungie has listened to the pleas of the fanbase and has given the Guardian a voice again, which was missing from the base game and the first two expansions....

In an unexpected announcement, Bungie has decided to restrict the power levels of players for its upcoming Crown of Sorrow raid in Destiny 2 to encourage a level playing field in the race to claim a World First clear. Put simply, the restriction will not allow players to benefit from over leveling their current builds to make the new content easier. Instead, power levels will be capped. For example, in the first fight of the raid, any power above 700 will be scaled down and not provide any additional advantage....

Since the latest Solstice of Heroes event started in Destiny 2, players have noticed a strange glitch that has come up as they progress through unlocking the new legendary gear on multiple characters. However, it seems as though this glitch isn’t an so much a bug as it is a previously unexplained feature added to the 2020 Solstice of Heroes event as a quality of life upgrade from previous years....

Fan projects are a dime a dozen these days, with players creating everything from a Super Mario Maker-inspired level-sharing game to a fan-made Metal Gear to a Metroid 2 remake. But devotion to a particular series or single title more often extends beyond the bounds of actual game development, and one longtime Destiny fan proved that earlier this week. YouTube user Mumblecrust got quite creative and crafted a remix of the main theme from Destiny 2....

Alongside the latest update to Destiny, the new exotic sidearm teased with Rise of Iron is in the game ahead of the expansion’s official release date. Destiny’s latest update 2.4.0 represents the biggest change to the game since the meaty April Update. The update contains a large amount of the content that will unlock and be available once Rise of Iron officially launches on September 20th. But until that date, it appears Bungie has tightened the grip on one of the new exotics coming in Destiny’s fall expansion....
