News | Phantom Liberty expansion changes a lot to Cyberpunk

CD Projekt Red will use Phantom Liberty, the expansion of Cyberpunk 2077 revealed yesterday, to adjust many essential elements of the game. Even people who don't buy the expansion will notice this.

Speaking to VGC, game developer Pawel Sasko stated that all essential elements of Cyberpunk 2077 have been revised or significantly updated. These include the AI, the police system, the difficulty curve and the user interface (UI). The skill tree has also been redesigned as some fans found it “disappointing” for an RPG. In addition, the expansion allows fighting from a vehicle without the need for a scripted moment in the story.

CD Projekt Red therefore emphasizes that we should not regard Phantom Liberty as dlc, but as a full-fledged expansion of the game. Even if you don’t purchase the expansion, you will notice many of these changes. However, without Phantom Liberty it is not possible to go to Dogtown, the expanded new district of Night City.

Phantom Liberty was unveiled last night at the Xbox Games Showcase. In the trailer we saw familiar characters such as V and Johnny Silverhand return. The expansion also introduces new characters, including Solomon Reed, played by renowned actor Idris Elba. Phantom Liberty will be the only expansion Cyberpunk 2077 will receive.

Phantom Liberty will be released September 26 for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X and S and PC. The expansion has a price tag of 30 euros.

News | First The Witcher game gets a remake

CD Projekt Red has announced that a remake of the first The Witcher is in the works.

The company announced this in a blog post. The remake will be completely rebuilt on Unreal Engine 5 by the Polish studio Fool’s Theory. CD Projekt Red oversees development. Production of the game is still at an early stage.

The codename of the remake, Canis Majoris, has already been revealed. With that announcement, CD Projekt Red talked about a story-driven, single-player, open-world RPG being developed by a third-party studio made up of people who have worked on The Witcher games before.

“The Witcher is where it all started for us,” studio head Adam Badowski said in a statement. “It was the first game we ever made and that was a big moment for us. Going back to this world and remaking the game for a new generation of gamers feels just as big, maybe even bigger than that.”

The Witcher originally came out on PC in 2007. The game is based on the Saga o wiedźminie book series by fantasy writer Andrzej Sapkowski. The game first introduced main character Geralt of Rivia. It is not yet clear when the remake will be released. “While it will be some time before we are ready to share more about the game, I know it will be worth the wait,” Badowski concluded.
