Cyberpunk 2077 was launched in December after many years of hype and expectations, following the immense success of CD Projekt Red's The Witcher 3. You probably know that expectations were pretty high for the studio's Cyberpunk RPG, particularly following the glitzy, glamorous, and action-packed game trailers shown in the months that led up to the game's launch. The game was released after multiple delays and was riddled with bugs, glitches, and performance issues when it was eventually available, especially on older consoles. The game crashed and burned in almost unprecedented and unparalleled ways, subject to fan scorn and critical discourse amidst its broken and buggy release. Sony took the unusual step of deleting Cyberpunk 2077 from the PlayStation Store and providing refunds because the performance was so poor.

Today online search giant Google held their second Stadia Connect Livestream, showing off a slate of new games that are being launched for the streaming service once it launches.
The big announcement during the stream was that CD Projekt Red’s Cyberpunk 2077 is coming to Stadia at launch, allowing players to stream the game at 4K 60 FPS without any native hardware on the consumer side. All a user will need to play the game is a Chromecast or Chrome web browser, a game controller, a solid internet connection, and to have purchased the game through the Stadia service.
Other games announced include the puzzle game Kine, Orcs Must Die! 3, Windjammers 2, Destroy All Humans, Mortal Kombat 11, Farming Simulator 19, and more. Although the showing was a bit light compared to the inaugural stream, it is good to see that Google is committing to releasing new games.
Stadia is set to launch in November and will include a Founder’s Edition that

German website Gamereactor.de recently revealed a rumor that suggested Cyberpunk 2077 may get released in 2016. According to a "source close to the company," CD Projekt Red is currently planning to release their next big RPG title before the end of 2016.
It's assumed that currently Cyberpunk 2077 is only being developed for PC but we'd be surprised if CD Projekt Red doesn't also release console versions of the game, especially considering how successful The Witcher 3 was on Xbox One and PlayStation 4.
Whilst it would be great to see Cyberpunk 2077 before the end of 2017 I think it's important to remember that CD Projekt Red have considered the game to be the biggest and most ambitious project from the development studio so far. We also know very little about the supposed source of this rumor.
Chances are, CD Projekt Red could be aiming for a late 2016 release for Cyberpunk 2077 but whether they hit their target or not will depend on how smoothly development goes. For

After the huge success of The Witcher 3, there is no doubt that a lot of Witcher fans are wondering exactly what developer and publisher CD Projekt Red will be planning next. Well, the next game that CD Projekt Red will be putting their effort into once The Witcher 3 is all done and dusted is Cyberpunk 2077, another huge RPG title that's set in a futuristic environment instead of a fantasy one.
In fact, as it currently stands, most of the staff at CD Projekt Red are now working on Cyberpunk 2077 - this information was recently revealed by the development team themselves.
The Witcher 3 was a huge project in itself, but it already had it's own lore and world to be based upon. With Cyberpunk 2077, a lot of it is being created from the ground up, and despite that, it sounds like it could be at least as big as The Witcher 3.
"We are focusing on Cyberpunk 2077. It is a very ambitious and big project, and we need all the people we can get to finish it. A lot

Recently a rumor has spread. The rumor has caused a lot of panic in the gaming community and there is a good reason for it. CD Projekt Red has been praised for being such a community driven development studio, especially since the release of The Witcher 3, but according to a rumor, EA were looking into buying out the entire CD Projekt Red team.
If this plan were to go ahead, EA would essentially have full control over all of CD Projekt Red's future content, which, as you can imagine, has struck fear in a lot of Witcher fan hearts.
Fortunately, the rumors have now been dismissed and absolutely 100% denied by CD Project Red. Below, a translated version of CD Projekt's chief executive Adam Kicinski's statement on the rumor has been posted.
"Usually we don't comment on rumors, but it's time to deny the one about takeover because it spread too far. In the name of the board, I would like to state: No, we are not in any talks about the sale of CD PROJEKT RED or GOG. Also,

The Witcher 3 will be getting another large patch in the near future and it will include a number of gameplay changes. The latest upcoming update is patch 1.08 and CD Projekt Red has talked a little bit about what the patch will consist of.
Whilst CD Projekt Red hasn't yet given a release date, the developer has mentioned that the update is "coming soon." Whilst all platforms are getting the same treatment in terms of new patches, the newest updates often make their way to PC first, and are then released on console after they go through an approval process.
Perhaps the most exciting change in patch 1.08 is the inclusion of "preparatory changes" for the New Game Plus mode. Whilst New Game Plus won't be added in 1.08, CD Projekt Red are leading up to releasing it.
Other than various fixes and tweaks, the mean changes are within the gameplay section of the patch notes and they can be read below.

The next free The Witcher 3 DLC has been revealed and unlike most of the previously released content, this new DLC will feature an extra quest that adds extra playtime to the game. Whilst CD Projekt Red usually release two DLC items per week, there will only be one DLC item this week.
The DLC in question is a side quest called Where the Cat and Wolf Play... and it is the penultimate free DLC available to all The Witcher 3 players. Next week we will see the last DLC item from CD Projekt Red before they start to work on full blown expansions, so let's hope we get something special to go out with a bang.
If we don't get anything particularly special next week, we do still have the side quest this week to look forward to. CD Projekt Red has described the side quest a little, explaining that players will be able to explore an abandoned village as they try to understand the village's history.
Players will be able to find a new witcher contract in Oreton
