    At the 2025 Digital Dragons conference in Poland, Mike Pondsmith – the mastermind behind the Cyberpunk universe – shared some news about the sequel to Cyberpunk 2077. He revealed that players will finally get to leave the iconic Night City and dive into a new urban setting.

    Digital Dragons is one of Europe's top B2B events for the video game industry, put together by the Krakow Technology Park. This year's edition ran from May 18 to 20, 2025, at the ICE Krakow Congress Center. One of this year's guests was Mike Pondsmith, the creator of the Cyberpunk tabletop game series, which later inspired Cyberpunk 2077 developed by CD Project RED.

    In a chat with Michal Manka, Pondsmith mentioned that we'll be visiting "another city" in the Cyberpunk 2077 sequel – but he quickly added that he couldn't say much more. He didn't drop a name or give any details, so it kind of felt like something that slipped out by accident. The interview begins at 3:06:11 and is available to watch in full on the TVGRY YouTube channel as part of the Digital Dragons stream.

    Might be somewhat similar to Chicago?

    There's already been a rumor floating around for a while that the city in the sequel could be Chicago, mainly because some posters in Cyberpunk 2077 mention it. One even says, "Travel from Chicago to Night City in under three hours, coming in 2080." So, could this be a small hint that the rumor's actually true?

    Mike Pondsmith hints Cyberpunk 2077’s sequel will feature a new city to explore

    Project Orion is still shrouded in mystery, but one thing’s clear: we’ll be leaving Night City. Looks like there’ll be a whole new place to burn.

    I'd be bummed if the sequel was just more night city, not that it couldn't work but let's go somewhere new please.

    Man can't wait to find out more. I always had to admire CD project from a distance because I wasn't really into medieval fantasy. Always heard how good The Witcher was but was less impressed when I played the games myself. Cyberpunk was amazing , Phantom Liberty was amazing. One can only hope they learned their lesson and can deliver a Phantom Liberty level experience from the start.

    He says in the stream that night city is still there so i guess it's more like a 2 maps thing.

    Would be really interesting to see Seattle which i think is supposed to be the largest city on the west coast or Chicago which is functionally just dog town extra large edition as far as I'm aware.

    Or hell it would be awesome to see Tokyo which is supposed to be one of the most economically powerful cities post collapse.

    Unless they reuse 90% of night city as is, im not sure how theyll manage this.

    That would be rather weird if it was set in a completely different city. A side trip to one, sure, but as the main city?

    Cyberpunk's world has explored parts of the rest of the world, sure, but it's very highly focused on Night City. This isn't Shadowrun with a bunch of cities explored, mapped out and described around the world. Night City is Cyberpunk to a lesser and greater extent.

    It won't use the same engine as 2077, so the chances of them redoing all of Night City in Unreal 5 were slim anyway, no?

    Y'know, this sorta kills me - Night City has better Public Works Infrastructure than most real American cities today.

    And, per the lore, it's not even "legacy" infrastructure, the NCART network in 2077 is recent, as a replacement for their previous crumbling subway system. Nevermind that Night City has high-density housing within walking distance of amenities.

    IDK, are we sure Night City is the dystopia when we talk about Real Life America vs Cyberpunk?

    lol yeah, the monorail was a fun addition but it was honestly pretty fitting to leave in as an abandoned, half-finished construction project. Sometimes cut content can be worldbuilding!

    Aside from handling interior loading-zones, they wouldn't really have to "redo" Night City if they leverage existing assets. Static meshes and textures don't care what engine they're in - Aside from the material-shaders.

    And if they're not reusing all the assets they made, it wouldn't even matter if they'd stuck with REDEngine, that's still a lot of work to redo.

    Fair enough. There is a lot of ways they can expand Night City especially if they give it a good time gap.

    By 2077 it's supposed to have at least partly been rebuilt, there's a few mentions of people going there in game. I think by rail or something.

    But I imagine it's very much a Pacifica situation

    Oh I thought they'd have everything to redo, I didn't know they could reuse everything in another engine. Would this also mean they could keep the same art style? Cause I loved how NC looked in 2077.

    I hope they will design a proper "architecture"next time that is suitable for a game, because the feel of the city is just bad when you walk through it and interact with it.

    I've said in the past I think a whole new city would be totally appropriate for a sequel. I was told night city is basically the entire setting. But I could definitely see them creating their own city from the ground up and it doing really well.

    If it's not something in addition to Night City then it would be a mistake.

    So much unrealised potential in the existing map, all they need to do is that again but make it interactive

    Hope they look after us habitual building climbers lol.

    If they build upon the "unintentional" Parkour system, the possibility for urban exploring is going to be even better. Populating rooftops and areas usually not designed to be reached with automated systems would go a long way.

    Where ever it may be set, I am assuming it is 5-7 years away at this point. I loved cp2077, but it will be many years until we ever get a sequel. Hard to get hyped for it when it is so long away.

    I think the comparison is apt as the Sword Coast is basically the setting when it comes to the Forgotten Realms same as Night city is for Cyberpunk RED even if there technically is other regions. Even when BG2 left the city of Baldur's Gate it was still the Sword Coast.

    Mike Pondsmith hints Cyberpunk 2077’s sequel will feature a new city to explore
    Xando Member Oct 28, 2017 37,672 At the 2025 Digital Dragons conference in Poland, Mike Pondsmith – the mastermind behind the Cyberpunk universe – shared some news about the sequel to Cyberpunk 2077. He revealed that players will finally get to leave the iconic Night City and dive into a new urban setting. Digital Dragons is one of Europe's top B2B events for the video game industry, put together by the Krakow Technology Park. This year's edition ran from May 18 to 20, 2025, at the ICE Krakow Congress Center. One of this year's guests was Mike Pondsmith, the creator of the Cyberpunk tabletop game series, which later inspired Cyberpunk 2077 developed by CD Project RED. In a chat with Michal Manka (formerly of TVGRY, now with Find Your Next Game by GameStar), Pondsmith mentioned that we'll be visiting "another city" in the Cyberpunk 2077 sequel – but he quickly added that he couldn't say much more. He didn't drop a name or give any details, so it kind of felt like something that slipped out by accident. The interview begins at 3:06:11 and is available to watch in full on the TVGRY YouTube channel as part of the Digital Dragons stream. Click to expand... Click to shrink... Might be somewhat similar to Chicago? There's already been a rumor floating around for a while that the city in the sequel could be Chicago, mainly because some posters in Cyberpunk 2077 mention it. One even says, "Travel from Chicago to Night City in under three hours, coming in 2080." So, could this be a small hint that the rumor's actually true? Click to expand... Click to shrink... Mike Pondsmith hints Cyberpunk 2077’s sequel will feature a new city to explore Project Orion is still shrouded in mystery, but one thing’s clear: we’ll be leaving Night City. Looks like there’ll be a whole new place to burn. www.gamepressure.com Here is the livestream: View: https://www.youtube.com/live/64XD2DtKU64?si=5yY1u_z9XmuW_QSB&t=11170  RayCharlizard Member Nov 2, 2017 4,467 Who needs scope anyway   Zebesian-X Member Dec 3, 2018 25,344 TFW the dystopian hellscape video game has better high-speed rail infrastructure than the real world   Killyoh Member Oct 28, 2017 1,788 Paris, France Day City   Cor Pulmonale Banned May 14, 2025 54 An earlier rumor I read mentioned Texas, so who knows at this point.   Pancracio17 ▲ Legend ▲ Avenger Oct 29, 2017 21,744 Sunset City   Cor Pulmonale Banned May 14, 2025 54 Dayman vs Nightman: The official videogame of the musical of the movie.  Dest Has seen more 10s than EA ever will Coward Jun 4, 2018 16,034 Work fortnite city.   Dan Thunder Member Nov 2, 2017 17,007 Crazy that the game's 5 years old this year!   Kinthey Avenger Oct 27, 2017 25,481 I guess makes sense since they explored night city pretty thoroughly.

    DOOM and Eternal effectively had the same recommended specs+ Eternal launched at peak start of Pandemic with viral barbenheimer marketing. Costs less. Doesn't require an RTX card. Wasn't on game pass. Doesn't surprise me tbh.

    IMO ray-tracing required games shot themselves in the foot on the pc market, they shut away too many potential buyer.

    I guess a lot of that drop from the previous game is probably due to Game Pass. It was a much smaller subscription back in 2020 and Doom Eternal didn't hit Game Pass until six months after release in October 2020.

    Now it's there day 1.

    Says who? The DF review praised it for being perfect in almost everything. Zero stutter, very optimized, and ability to change settings without a restart.

    View:

    Only thing missing is a preview window for graphical changes and some settings don't change anything above High until the path-tracing update comes out.

    I was about to correct you on the recommended specs for 2016, but I'll be damned if you aren't right. I remember running it on a 760 and having amazing performance so I had to assume the rec spec was much lower. Idtech is just a great engine I suppose.

    didn't expect it to beat eternal, but debuting with worse numbers than doom 2016 is kinda rough.

    They expect them to be enough until an upgrade is affordable, and that hasn't been the case for years now.

    Gamepass makes looking at these numbers particularly trecherous but if we use Oblivion as a reference this are very meh numbers.

    That's genuinely low, but Eternal was also probably abnormally high due to COVID boost + marketing hype of "this time we're actually properly promoting the new Doom"+ ran like greased lightning on nearly everything + the organic Doom/Animal Crossing meme pushing consciousness.

    FWIW, I bought the last two Doom games during launch window, and now I'm playing this via Game Pass. Anecdotal, sure. But I'd imagine that's part of the explanation here.

    At the same time… It does feel like there's less hype for this than there was for Eternal.

    The high pricing + game pass day 1 to me makes 30k a pretty good ccu for a single player game. I bet many people like me are grabbing a couple months of gamepass to play this and clair obscura

    It's too expensive for a single player only game. Imo. Look at all the other Doom releases, they go down by 80% in price in no time.

    Then you have a fantastic game like Expedition 33 releasing for half the price and twice the length.

    Easy skip until the eventual price cut and sale.

    i have a feeling theyll at least optimize it for steam deck despite the RT requirement. Indiana Jones just got a patch that verified it for steam deck and it seems to run decent at 30 fps even if its like ultra performance upscaling lol. probably trick windows into running it in that mode

    I don't know how to think about this when both Clair Obscur and Oblivion are doing higher CCU numbers right now 3 weeks post their releases than this.

    Both games on Gamepass.
    I guess let's wait till the weekend but I feel these are kinda soft numbers but not bad or great.

    Isn't this a steam launch? As a massive Eternal fan and this being one of my most anticipated games ever, I'm probably waiting on a sale due to the high launch price and too much stuff to play. Tempted to just get it and play it tonight though lol

    Bought 2016 day one, amazing game. Bought Eternal later on in a sale and haven't got around to it yet. Skipped Dark Ages for now. Looks alright but I've already started waiting for it to get cheaper since the early access premium version released, by the time normal version comes out it's easier to wait even longer for even cheaper. And besides, really should just play Eternal. But new shiny is tempting, and without premium I might have day one'd it.

    These are weak numbers, maybe it'll have a nice bump on the weekend.

    What's strange is the number of people that really loved the last game that have no interest in the new game. I enjoyed 2016 and Eternal, so I was always going to like Dark Ages, but a friend of mine has no interest becauseit's not like Eternal.

    We have to stop using the "its on gamepass" excuse. So many games come out that are on gamepass that do well on Steam. We have enough of a sample size of years at this point to be able to deduce that gamepass does not eat into Steam sales to any significant degree - I am sure it still does, but it would be pretty minor.

Do people just expect their graphics cards to be enough forever   RochHoch One Winged Slayer Member May 22, 2018 21,278 The people clearly yearn for glory kills and Eternal's gameplay Shhhhh, don't mention Gamepass or other reasons, I have a pot to stir  Star-Lord Member Oct 25, 2017 7,952 It's not even Friday in some places yet lol Wait till the weekend you will notice the player count will go up  Gwarm Member Nov 13, 2017 2,837 vixolus said: DOOM and Eternal effectively had the same recommended specs (A GTX 970 which was 6 years old by the time Eternal released) + Eternal launched at peak start of Pandemic with viral barbenheimer marketing. Costs less. Doesn't require an RTX card. Wasn't on game pass. Doesn't surprise me tbh. Click to expand... Click to shrink... I was about to correct you on the recommended specs for 2016, but I'll be damned if you aren't right. I remember running it on a 760 and having amazing performance so I had to assume the rec spec was much lower. Idtech is just a great engine I suppose.   cvbas Member Oct 25, 2017 5,043 Brazil ridiculously high pricing in many parts of the world + good but not fantastic review scores + high minimum pc specs + early access for premium edition didn't expect it to beat eternal, but debuting with worse numbers than doom 2016 is kinda rough.  Pop-O-Matic Avenger Oct 25, 2017 13,962 7thFloor said: Do people just expect their graphics cards to be enough forever Click to expand... Click to shrink... They expect them to be enough until an upgrade is affordable, and that hasn't been the case for years now.   SofNascimento cursed Member Oct 28, 2017 24,876 São Paulo - Brazil Gamepass makes looking at these numbers particularly trecherous but if we use Oblivion as a reference this are very meh numbers.   Crushed Member Oct 25, 2017 8,157 That's genuinely low, but Eternal was also probably abnormally high due to COVID boost + marketing hype of "this time we're actually properly promoting the new Doom" (as opposed to the trainwreck of Doom 2016's marketing) + ran like greased lightning on nearly everything + the organic Doom/Animal Crossing meme pushing consciousness.   Cien Member Oct 25, 2017 3,163 Zukkoyaki said: Word on the street is it's a bad PC port. Click to expand... Click to shrink... Potato PCs getting put in their place does not equal a bad port. Technology moves forward.  Wyatt+ Member Jan 15, 2020 821 FWIW, I bought the last two Doom games during launch window, and now I'm playing this via Game Pass. Anecdotal, sure. But I'd imagine that's part of the explanation here. At the same time… It does feel like there's less hype for this than there was for Eternal.  A Strong Latte Member Oct 25, 2017 8,855 The high pricing + game pass day 1 to me makes 30k a pretty good ccu for a single player game. I bet many people like me are grabbing a couple months of gamepass to play this and clair obscura   Merrill Member Oct 27, 2017 1,938 Halifax It's too expensive for a single player only game. Imo. Look at all the other Doom releases, they go down by 80% in price in no time. Then you have a fantastic game like Expedition 33 releasing for half the price and twice the length. Easy skip until the eventual price cut and sale.  BAW Member Oct 27, 2017 2,124 The Doom Eternal numbers… do they include players using that forgotten Bethesda launcher?   nsilvias Member Oct 25, 2017 30,047 Cien said: Potato PCs getting put in their place does not equal a bad port.

Both games on Gamepass.

Click to expand... Click to shrink... No, 104k was on Steam only.   Duxxy3 Member Oct 27, 2017 24,731 USA With Oblivion, Clair Obscur and Doom all releasing on game pass in a small timeframe, I didn't even entertain the idea of buying the game on Steam.   DamageEX2 Member May 20, 2024 1,240 Not that good, but i imagine the early acess hurted the numbers   RipVanWinkle Member Dec 10, 2024 296 Feels like a mix of the $70 price tag, high requirements and it being on Gamepass   vixolus Prophet of Truth Member Sep 22, 2020 70,669 Mezoly said: I don't know how to think about this when both Clair Obscur and Oblivion are doing higher CCU numbers right now 3 weeks post their releases than this.

As a massive Eternal fan and this being one of my most anticipated games ever, I'm probably waiting on a sale due to the high launch price and too much stuff to play. Tempted to just get it and play it tonight though lol   Dave. Member Oct 27, 2017 6,873 Bought 2016 day one, amazing game. Bought Eternal later on in a sale and haven't got around to it yet. Skipped Dark Ages for now. Looks alright but I've already started waiting for it to get cheaper since the early access premium version released, by the time normal version comes out it's easier to wait even longer for even cheaper. And besides, really should just play Eternal. But new shiny is tempting, and without premium I might have day one'd it. These are weak numbers, maybe it'll have a nice bump on the weekend.  Last edited: Thursday at 10:09 PM Rosebud Two Pieces Member Apr 16, 2018 51,116 Friendly Bear said: I imagine the RT requirements are probably the biggest factor?

I enjoyed 2016 and Eternal, so I was always going to like Dark Ages, but a friend of mine has no interest because (basically) it's not like Eternal.   MarcosBrXD Member Aug 28, 2024 1,665 I'm seeing little talk around this new Doom   Gavalanche Prophet of Regret Member Oct 21, 2021 25,781 We have to stop using the "its on gamepass" excuse. So many games come out that are on gamepass that do well on Steam. We have enough of a sample size of years at this point to be able to deduce that gamepass does not eat into Steam sales to any significant degree - I am sure it still does, but it would be pretty minor.   Jiggy Avenger Oct 25, 2017 9,980 wherever I didn't even realize it came out. Thought there'd be more buzz around it.   carlsojo Shinra Employee Member Oct 28, 2017 37,515 San Francisco Yeah for whatever reason word of mouth on this game is pretty dead.   Temperance "This guy are sick" Member Oct 25, 2017 6,990 [NO 2FA] Yikes. Didn't expect that low tbh.   selfnoise Member Oct 25, 2017 1,551 RPGs are white hot right now and single-player shooters are... not.

  • Marvel Rivals Battle Passes May Not Disappear For Good, But They'll Come At A Higher Cost
    Marvel Rivals developer NetEase has announced some good--and bad--news for cosmetic completionists, as the studio is considering bringing back older battle passes to the game, albeit at a higher price.
    The Season 0 battle pass that will be available to purchase once again starting May 15 when the Galacta's Gift event begins, but instead of paying 490 Lattice for it, the price has now increased to 590 Lattice.The battle pass will also be available until May 29, but once purchased, the rewards contained in it can be unlocked at your leisure.
    In terms of price, this works out to roughly $7 for the battle pass if you don't have any of the premium in-game currency saved up.
    NetEase added that it is considering bringing older battle passes back in the future, but these will cost at least 20% more.
    There'll be no free rewards in these limited-time battle passes either, as NetEase noted that access to all rewards will require the purchase of the Luxury Battle Pass."Future Battle Pass returns might occur, but any such plans will span at least two seasons and be priced at a minimum of 20% higher than the original seasonal rate," the studio said in a blog post.Continue Reading at GameSpot

  • #333;">Grand Theft Auto 4 Should be Remastered – Former Technical Director
    A former Rockstar Games developer that has previously worked on Grand Theft Auto 4 has said that the studio should work on a remaster of the game.
    Responding to social media X users asking him a question about rumours surrounding a GTA 4 remaster, former technical director at the studio Obbe Vermeij said that it should happen, considering other successful remasters in recent times.
    “I hadn’t heard those rumours,” posted Vermeij on X.
    “I think GTA IV should be remastered.
    It’s a great game and there have been a number of successful remasters recently.” Vermeij also wrote about wanting to see GTA 4 protagonist Niko Bellic return in some form, saying that he is still the best protagonist of the franchise in his opinion.
    “I would like to see it updated,” Vermiej responded to a post asking his thoughts.
    “Niko is still the best protagonist in any GTA game I think.”
    Rumours about a remastered release of Grand Theft Auto 4 first started making the rounds all the way back in November 2021.
    The rumours came in light of the at-the-time recent release of Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy – Definitive Edition.
    At the time, the rumours indicated that the remaster would be released in 2023 on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One and Xbox Series X/S, and that it would include the Episodes from Liberty City expansions as a bundle.
    However, 2023 is a long time ago when it comes to video game releases, and Rockstar Games has still been quiet on the matter.
    While smaller rumours kept popping up here and there, they started coming back in earnest this year.
    A more recent rumour, courtesy of known Rockstar Games insider Tez2, indicated that a port for modern platforms is still in the works.
    Taking to the GTA Forums, Tez2 said that Grand Theft Auto 4 is being ported to PS5 and Xbox Series X/S, and that work on the ports had been going on for more than a year.
    While the post didn’t reveal too many details, it did indicate that Rockstar might be looking to tide fans of GTA 6 over in light of its recent delay to May 26, 2026 by releasing the GTA 4 port later this year.
    The insider also said that the GTA 4 port would be part of a larger plan by Rockstar to also release a remaster of Max Payne 3 down the line.
    The latter would be released in time with Remedy’s current work on remaking the original Max Payne games.
    “Someone at R* hinted at the [GTA] IV port, and by now it should’ve gone up a year in development.+,” he wrote.
    “We may end up seeing it drop later this year.
    And it’s one more reason, in addition to existing reasons, the LCPP mod was taken down.
    If they still follow their plan laid out from the pandemic days, they’ll do an MP3 port after IV.
    So that is an opportunity to do a bundle or a Definitive Edition.
    Max Payne 1 & 2 remakes, and a Max Payne 3 port.”
    Grand Theft Auto 4 was originally released back in 2008 on Xbox 360 and PS3.
    It has since also been released on PC, where it can still be played on modern systems alongside its Episodes from Liberty City story expansions.
    I hadn't heard those rumours.
    I think gtaIV should be remastered.
    It's a great game and there have been a number of successful remasters recently.— Obbe Vermeij (@ObbeVermeij) May 12, 2025
    I would like to see it updated.
    Niko is still the best protagonist in any gta game I think.— Obbe Vermeij (@ObbeVermeij) May 13, 2025
