These items include his entire outfit, his car, and the iconic Malorian Arms 3516.

Aside from that, his car and weapon are not too shabby.

In total, there are 7 of Silverhands belongings that you can get in the game. A majority of these can be found during Side Job: Chippin In but a few are locked behind some Gigs.

AviatorsIt is a reward for completing Side Job: Chippin In.

Samurai JacketThis one is also a reward for completing Side Job: Chippin In.

Malorian Arms 3516This one is also obtained during Side Job: Chippin In. You just need to pay attention to the dialogues and select Take a Weapon whenever it pops-up. Once acquired, play the Rebel Path on Spotify and go to town.

Shares of Polish game publisher CD Projekt rose sharply Wednesday after the company announced several major games it's working on in the next few years, including new installments in its popular Cyberpunk and Witcher franchises.

In a strategy update late Tuesday, CD Projekt revealed a slew of new titles currently in development, including a sequel to Cyberpunk 2077 codenamed "Orion." The game "will take the Cyberpunk franchise further and continue harnessing the potential of this dark future universe," the firm said.

Shares of CD Projekt were up around 7% Wednesday afternoon, having earlier surged as much as 9% at the market open.

It comes after a series of mishaps that have plagued the company over the last two years. After much hype, Cyberpunk 2077's launch in 2020 was met with rage from gamers who experienced bugs and poor performance on older consoles. The game's launch came the same year that new machines from Sony and Microsoft were being released.

Backlash to the blunder was so fierce that at one point Sony removed the game from its digital PlayStation Store. Cyberpunk 2077 was later reinstated on the service.

Since then, CD Projekt made several updates and improvements to Cyberpunk 2077, while the release of an anime TV series based on the futuristic sci-fi franchise, "Cyberpunk: Edgerunners," has helped revive interest in the game.

CD Projekt says it has sold 20 million copies of its Cyberpunk 2077 game to date, and over 65 million copies of all three games in its Witcher franchise.

Last year, the company suffered a ransomware attack that saw hackers steal the source code to several of its games including The Witcher 3 and Cyberpunk 2077 and sell it on the dark web. Notably, CD Projekt at the time refused to pay the ransom demanded by hackers.

Despite a surge in CD Projekt's share price Wednesday, the stock is down more than 40% since the start of the year.

Here were some other highlights from CD Projekt's strategy update:

The company also revealed its co-founder and joint-CEO Marcin Iwinski will be stepping down after 28 years in the role. Iwinski will continue on as joint-CEO until the end of 2022, after which he will become chairman of the supervisory board.

He will remain "a major shareholder" and "active and engaged" in supporting the board, according to a statement Tuesday.

Three new games in the Witcher role-playing game series are expected to launch in the coming years, including a new installment in the franchise codenamed "Polaris." Previously announced by the company in March, the game is a follow-up to the firm's highly-acclaimed The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt. It is currently in pre-production.

CD Projekt did not specify a timeline for when the new games would come out but said its three new original Witcher titles would launch within a six-year period after Polaris' release.

The company plans to push into online multiplayer with some of its future titles, including another game in the Witcher franchise codenamed "Sirius."

"We are planning to add multiplayer to some of our future titles, and we are planning to do more in the area of TV and film," said Michal Nowakowski, CD Projekt's senior vice president of business development.

CD Projekt's multiplayer ambitions have a lot of potential due to higher engagement in multiplayer," Peter Garnry, head of equity strategy at Saxo Bank, wrote in a note Wednesday.

CD Projekt also announced a totally new game it is working on beyond its main two franchises, codenamed Hadar. The firm did not give away much detail but said it "currently in the conceptual phase."

It was an unusual display of transparency in the games industry. Big publishers often remain tight-lipped about planned major releases up until they are ready to present some visuals and gameplay to fans, typically at large trade shows.

Companies like Sony and Nintendo have increasingly eschewed showy industry conferences like the E3 expo in favor of smaller-scale updates. After being cancelled once in 2020 and then replaced with a digital alternative in 2021, E3 was again scrapped this year by organizers, who cited health risks surrounding Covid-19.

Shares of Cyberpunk 2077 publisher surge after announcing a slew of new games - CNBC

Cyberpunk 2077

Ive spent the last few weeks playing what is essentially another full playthrough of Cyberpunk 2077. A long time ago, I left one of my PC Vs, an experimental build that was going to be focused on going in guns blazing, stuck at level 15 or so. My goal was to come back to her later once the game had been more fixed and patched with QoL changes added. Now with the games recent resurgence, I figured this was as good a time as any to return to her, and 30 hours and 35 more levels later, I have a maxed V who needs to go meet Hanako at Embers.

Previously, Ive written up compilations of patch notes with the laundry lists of changes that have been made to the game in the last two years, but actually playing through it is a different story. Heres what Ive actually noticed has changed since my first playthroughs. And its a good amount.

Performance, Stability, Bugs While I didnt encounter any bugs that fully broke my game in my initial Cyberpunk launch playthrough, there were plenty of annoying ones to be found. Here, however, with thousands of fixes in place, I think I maybe reloaded once to fix something stuck, but out of 30 hours, thats not so bad. Sure, you get the occasional odd glitch like a stretched out corpse or a guy standing on top of his motorcycle seat, but we are miles from the launch era where bug compilation videos from the game were lighting the internet on fire.

Cyberpunk 2077

The Visuals While Cyberpunk always looked best on PC, it really has been taken to a new level these days. Night City is, what I would argue, the best looking modern/futuristic cityscape to ever appear in a game, and a truly gorgeous place to simply wander around and explore. This was not always the case on console, but here, its a beautiful game, one that has made a hobby of taking photos around the world.

The Living City CDPR has noticeably, dramatically improved the density of the population of the city, where on my PC build at least, Night City is swarming with pedestrians, which are no longer clones of each other, nor do they react in goofy, identical ways when theres danger nearby. Thats all been patched. And Id argue there are enough random events as you move through a fresh playthrough, crimes, occasional conversations, to make the city feel more alive than its been previously.

The New Missions There are not many, but I noticed a few of the new quests seeping into old ones, like one guy I rescued was referenced in a different gig when he wasnt before. I very much appreciated the rewards I racked up from Fixers as I played, which did not used to be a thing, but they give you powerful weapons and good cars now that are useful as youre playing. These are all best experienced with a new playthrough, less so going back to a game save where youve already beaten everything.

Difficulty Difficulty in the game has been rebalanced, both in terms of giving you more XP and cash rewards on higher difficulties, and also making those difficultiesharder. My guns blazing build is strong, but its still possible that Im killed even with like six Cyberware mods to give me bonus lives if my health drops. Very Hard isvery hard now, depending on your build. Certain things like quickhacks and Sandevistan cyberware are still overpowered, but you want a bit of that so you make sure youre still having fun and not just getting brutalized.

Cyberpunk 2077

Customization I cannot speak highly enough about the new transmog system thats been introduced, which allows you to trash all your gear, saving you hundreds of pounds of carry weight, but keep all those styles for customized V looks that retain your powerful gear benefits underneath. And the fact that you can change your Vs face and hair after all this time is great, albeit thats something that should have existed from the start, and its absurd it took so long to arrive. I just wish that more clothes and tattoo and cyberware options had been added, but you have to purely rely on mods for those.

Driving It just feels better. I know they patched in a bunch of changes to how cars handle, and its justmuch better. Car combat however, remains not a thing, and thats something theyve said they will be patching in later. A bit late, that.

The Weather One thing I noticed is that Cyberpunk realized how cool its dust storms were, and now those occur more often, and actually in the city, not just the Badlands. Between that and an increase in rain as well, its a lot more of a Blade Runner 2049 vibe, and makes the city feel more alive than before, and incredibly visually stimulating.

Cyberpunk 2077

The Core The core of the game is the same, and whats missing before is still missing. Life paths mean more or less nothing. You are herded into essentially one relationship based on your Vs gender and preference. I still find Johnny extremely annoying for 90% of the game. Too many interesting sidequests end in frustrating loose ends. But, I maintain that the good quests here are still some of the best in the genre, thanks to NPCs like Panam, River and Judy. My re-run of Pyramid Song with Judy last night reminded me of just how much they nailed some things here.

I liked Cyberpunk even when it was broken. I didnt like the things that were broken, and I lamented that CDPR released it in the state it was in. But I could see the good game under the surface, and now after two years, its way, way easier for everyone else to see that too. Im not being duped into giving it a new actual score here, but yes, I recommend you giving it a shot, if you avoided it this long.

'Cyberpunk 2077' Re-Review: Two Years Later, What's Changed? - Forbes

Cyberpunk 2077's recent revival includes an uptick in players jumping into Night City on Steam Deck.

According to stats shared by Valve, Cyberpunk 2077 is the fourth most popular game on Steam Deck by total hours played, topped only by Stardew Valley, Elden Ring, and Vampire Survivors - in that order.

We've already told you about Cyberpunk 2077's second life. Cyberpunk 2077 initially shifted 13m copies when it arrived for PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One in December 2020, but interest in the game dropped when word of its technical issues spread.

Now, thanks to Netflix's anime spin-off Edgerunners and a new patch, developer CD Projekt Red recently revealed the game had now sold over 20m copies and recently hit one million daily players. Again.

As for the rest of the top 10? From tenth to fifth place respectively, Steam Deck players have been enjoying Disney Dreamlight Valley, Cult of the Lamb, Marvel's Spider-Man Remastered, The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Special Edition, No Man's Sky, and Hades.

Following this week's news that Google is shutting down its Stadia platform, Cyberpunk 2077 players are requesting its developer CD Projekt makes save files from Stadia available on the cloud.

The lengthy RPG has been available on Google's Stadia platform, but now that's shutting down, players will no longer have access to their save files without cloud support.

Go here to read the rest:

Cyberpunk 2077's revival continues as it becomes one of the most popular games on Steam Deck - Eurogamer.net

Reliance Jio, one of the telecom operators to roll out 5G services, has come up with a first of its kind cloud gaming services. In this cloud gaming, a person can play high-end games on the set-top box and all you need is just a stable internet connection with speed up to 30 mbps.

This is something new, as gamers would know that to play such heavy and high-end games, one earlier needed to have a heavy machine plus a lot of storage space. Also needed was a high-end CPU. But now with games being played on a set-top box, all requirements of storage space, high-end CPU have completely been done away with.

As far as the pricing is concerned, Jio has brought it down by levying a monthly recharge.

Now with cloud gaming, one can play popular games such as Cyberpunk, Ghost Runner, and Apex Legends using a set-top box. With the 5G network launched today, you can play these heavy games without any hardware and with almost no lag. You can play these games lag free with the Jio controller.

With 5G, the speed of the internet will increase significantly, and e-sports in India, which is heavily dependent on low latency, will drastically improve.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi officially launched 5G in India at the sixth edition of India Mobile Congress 2022, today. 5G will offer speeds that are multiple times faster than 4G, as well as support lag-free connectivity. It will allow ultra-low latency connections allowing downloading of full-length and high-quality videos or movies within seconds even in crowded areas. 5G is expected to enable solutions for e-health, mobile cloud gaming, connected vehicles, immersive augmented reality and metaverse experiences.

Shards in Cyberpunk 2077 are small bits of lore that you will come across as you explore the different streets and alleys of Night City. This is an effective way of delivering story-based information in the game.

These shards are often associated with every single activity in Cyberpunk 2077. From giving you instructions about feeding Nibbles to informing you about different Cyberpsychos in the game, these shards often contain important information about a certain activity. While being able to read shards in Cyberpunk 2077 might be a bit difficult for most players, picking up a shard is as easy as pressing a button in the game.

With that out of the way, heres how you read shards in the game!

Shards appear as small wrench icons inside the game. Although they wont show up on your map, if youre close enough to a shard, you should see a small wrench-like icon pop up. Interact with this icon and you should see a pop-up notification on the left-hand side of your screen. You can read these shards directly from this screen itself.

In case you miss the notification, you will still be able to access these shards. All you need to do is head over to the Character menu in the game and then navigate to the Journal banner. Let your pointer hover over this banner and a sub-banner with the word Shard should appear. Click on this sub-banner to access all your shards in Cyberpunk 2077.

Every single shard that youve picked up can be found in the list here. Moreover, the shards that you havent read are marked as New, so you cant really miss them. Although this overall process is very simple, there are very little in-game instructions on how to read these shards.

Overall, the Edgerunners update is proving to be a boon for the game. Thanks to this update, you can now play as David Martinez and Lucy from the Edgerunners animated series!

Nibbles the Cat is the newest member to join the Cyberpunk 2077 family. Added to the game with the new Edgerunners update, Nibbles has found a spot for himself like the true royalty he is. You can adopt this cat in the game, and make him a permanent housemate. But, in order to do that, you will have to complete a small side mission in the game.

Unlike most side jobs in Cyberpunk 2077, the one involving Nibbles the Cat isnt that difficult at all. Heres what you need to do!

To get your hands on Nibbles, you will have to travel back to your apartment in Little China. If youre lost or youre just feeling lazy, you can use the fast travel mechanic to make it to the Megabuildin H10: Atrium. Use the elevator to head up to your floor, but dont enter your apartment.

Instead, take a right and then travel all the way to the end of the hallway. If youve managed to do this correctly, you should find yourself in front of an apartment with the number 0721 on the door. Take another right from here and there should be a trashcan in front of you. When you move closer to the trash can, you will notice a pop-up that says Feed teh cat. As soon as you interact with the note, you will be prompted to leave some food for Nibbles the Cat in the bowl.

Head back to your apartment after youve done this and go to sleep. Return here once you wake up, and youll see Nibbles eating. Move close to the cat and interact with it to pick him up. Once you do this, you will automatically bring Nibbles the Cat back to your apartment. This marks the end of the side job, and your reward is Nibbles. Although its not much, but its a fruit of honest labor!

CD Projekt Red did a good job on the wardrobe feature in the game. Heres how you use the Transmog system! Dont forget to check out our guide on how to set up crossplay for your game. And while youre at it, heres how you can build your character to resemble David from Edgerunners.

Cyberpunk 2077 is available now on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series S|X, and Google Stadia.

Bungie first teased its next major Destiny 2: Lightfall expansion more than two years ago, and since then, players have gained control of the Darkness, fought Savathn and her undead army, and witnessed... The Witness. Now its time to shake things up again with the launch of Destiny 2: Lightfall on February 28th, with its new cyberpunk world, new Strand subclasses, and much more.

Its also the final battle of the epic light vs. dark saga of Destiny.

At the center of Destiny 2: Lightfall is an unusual new location for Bungies franchise thats heavily cyberpunk. A new hidden Neomuna city on Neptune serves as a dystopian futuristic setting for the continuation of Destiny 2s storyline, which will see the return of Calus as the main villain once again. The Witness, a mysterious humanoid villain, has Calus on its side in the battle to destroy the equally mysterious Traveler.

Neomuna, the capital city of Neptune, has bright neon lights everywhere and an aurora borealis-like illumination throughout. Its unlike anything that exists in the Destiny universe, and its a secret technologically advanced city. It also houses new Cloud Striders that protect Neomuna, and the Shadow Legion Cabal faction and huge Tormentors that can attack from a distance.

Bungie is once again introducing a new subclass with Lightfall. Strand is a green-colored subclass, and it hugely powers up Destiny 2 guardians like nothing weve ever seen before. If you thought Stasis was powerful, Strand goes even further with abilities that are more focused on movement and traversal to help.

The big new addition in Strand is a grapple hook, much like what weve seen in Fortnite, Halo Infinite, and Apex Legends. Youre able to grapple at any point, and you can use the hook to grapple anything. Originally developed for the Hunter class, Bungie made the call to expand it to all three classes so every guardian can wield the grapple hook.

Strand isnt all about the grapple hook though, it includes a lot of damage abilities. Titans get giant claws for damage, Hunters get a rope that you can weave and whip with, and Warlocks get a blade barrage-like super ability.

Bungie is also making Destiny 2: Lightfall a lot more accessible for players new and old. Guardian ranks is a new system that players can use to identify experienced players in Destiny 2. Bungie is also adding a built-in looking for group (LFG) system in 2023 that will help players group up for activities. Theres also a new commendations system where players can show appreciation for fellow players.

Other quality of life improvements include in-game loadouts and a mod manager. Destiny 2 players have had to use third-party tools like DIM for years, so something inside the game will be a very welcome addition.

Before Destiny 2: Lightfall arrives next year, theres a new season of Destiny 2 that starts today. Season of Plunder is all about being space pirates, and it sees the return of the Fallen Eramis villain. Battles include a new Ketchcrash mode where you board pirate ships and loot chests, and another activity where you hunt down pirate leaders.

Season of Plunder also introduces Arc 3.0, the final rework for class abilities. Titans get a new Thunderclap charged melee attack with big damage, with Hunters getting Blink movement once again. Warlocks get Two new lightning melee attacks, too.

The Kings Fall raid also returns on Friday, originally part of the original The Taken King expansion. Its a big season as we move closer to Destiny 2: Lightfall, alongside a Fortnite and Fall Guys crossover and Destiny 2 arriving on the Epic Games Store.

Destiny 2: Lightfall arrives on February 28th on Xbox, PlayStation, PC, and Stadia.

Level Infinite and Hotta Studio revealed more additions coming to Tower Of Fantasy in the near future with a new area and a new character. The new area is called Vera, which will be cyberpunk-themed and be an unlocked area within the game. This area itself will add environments, mounts, monsters, weapons, and other goodies for you to explore and find. The primary expanse of it is called the Desert Gobby, which will have an irradiated wilderness with the cyberpunk hub of Mirroria in the middle. The game will also be getting a new character named Frigg, which you see below, who brings her own powers, abilities, and more to the mix. You can read more about both below and check out the trailers for each, as we wait for the devs to put a solid release date on these new additions.

Vera is the name of the new cyberpunk-themed area that will unlock within the game, bringing with it new environments, mounts, monsters, weapons and much more. The Desert Gobby makes up the main area of the expansion, an irradiated wilderness with the cyberpunk hub of Mirroria found in the heart of the desert. Tower of Fantasy players will be excited to find new instances, raids and legendary bosses that they can take on with their friends and "crews" that bring new missions, events and progression rewards.

The Vera area was under the jurisdiction of The Seventh Division of Helgaard before the Cataclysm, and lost contact with the main plane after the Cataclysm. The environment is dominated by the desert Gobby, and the overall climate is hot and dry. Due to the failure of its local "Vera Phantom Tower" (an original energy repeater) after the Cataclysm, its space-time dimension cannot be calibrated on the main plane, nor can it obtain a stable supply of original energy. The intensity of the original energy radiation in the area is gradually decreasing, except for some heavily polluted areas. Although most of the surface environment can be used for human activities, the majority of people in Vera live in Mirroria.

Frigg, a new playable character, will be officially released soon. A quiet and decisive soldier who gets her work done cleanly and quickly. She has her own take on life, and often thinks about the meaning of it when she's not busy eliminating her enemies. One of the Angels of Clemency, her body was largely modified with living metal to stop radiation without a suppressor. She is a loyal servant of the Sage and carries out his commands without question. As a commander, she has the right to command the Heirs of Aida's forces, but instead chooses to act alone most of the time.
