As a perfectly bite-sized treat for spooky season, the farm sim where you’re a vampire has kicked off a quick demo to give us a taste of its pumpkin decor and midnight spellcasting. The first demo for Moonlight Peaks lets you play seven in-game days of foraging, farming, and decorating, with the option to take…

Earlier this month, Polish game devs, including several from CD Projekt Red, formed the Polish Gamedev Workers Union (PGWU). This came in the wake of further layoffs at the company in July, to the tune of 9% of its workforce. At the time, CEO Adam Kiciński explained the move as something to help make the…
Cyberpunk’s 2.02 patch has hit, bringing with it a surfeit of tweaks, fixes, and improvements to Night City in the wake of the game’s sweeping 2.0 update and accompanying redemption arc. As usual there’s a whole lot of bullet points here, and I’ll put the full patch notes below, but there are a couple of…
