Cyberpunk 2077 marks the end for CD Projekt’s REDengine, the in-house technology that it’s been building on since 2011’s The Witcher 2. Last year, CD Projekt announced that its next Witcher game and other games going forward—including Cyberpunk’s sequel, codename Orion—will be developed with Unreal Engine 5.

The blockchain-based business simulator developed by Molyneux’s 22 Cans studio is set to go live on October 26. “Legacy will be seamlessly integrated with GalaChain, providing smooth and secure gameplay backed…
If you think FLAC is the audiophile’s friend when it comes to lossless music files, a large language model (LLM) has news for you, as it’s now laying claim to compression as part of AI’s growing realm of influence, too.
