Wahey, The Witcher 4 has had "substantial progress" made on it, with CD Projekt "gearing up" to put the game into full production

CD Projekt has revealed that the game codenamed project Polaris - that "first instalment in the new Witcher saga" that we've all been referring to as The Witcher 4 just to make thing a bit less confusing until a proper name is slapped on it - is just about ready to enter full production.

According to joint CEO Michał Nowakowski in a press release detailing the studio's latest earnings figures and progress on its current projects, preproduction on Polaris is on track to wrap up soon, with the developers "nearing a major milestone" that'll mark this point. So, as of right now, CD Projekt is "gearing up" to launch into that next phase.

In an earnings video that adds the this smorgasbord of witchery info, CD Projekt CFO Piotr Nielubowicz added that in the first half of 2024, the Polaris development team has "made substantial progress", which will allow that step into full production to be taken "soon".

CD Projekt RED недавно разместила новые вакансии, которые могут указывать на то, что Cyberpunk 2 будет позиционироваться как экшен-RPG — специалистов с опытом работы над такими играми студия сейчас ищет.

Black Myth: Wukong is currently Steam's most played game as it continues to break records

As I write this, Black Myth: Wukong, the action adventure from China’s Game Science studio, is the most played game on Steam by player count. There are currently 1,400,932 players in-game (with a peak of 1,443,570), surpassing the likes of Counter-Strike 2, Dota 2, PUBG and all the usual games that occupy Steam’s top five.

Wukong’s launch was already predicted to be strong, with the game being Steam’s number one seller for several weeks, but the concurrent player figures are quite staggering for a single-player, offline game.

Struggling to see everything Cyberpunk 2077 has to offer? A new mod will help you check out all the game's best hidden gems

Cyberpunk 2077 is a big game with lots to discover, but not all of it is easy to see or find - luckily, a new mod should help you see even the smallest of moments.

While it's been almost four years since Cyberpunk 2077 came out, there are still plenty of easter eggs fans are finding even now, with some still yet to be discovered. Of course, even though there are some that still need to be found, it can be difficult to see all of the ones that players are already aware of, as well as some of the game's more unique events. After all, Night City isn't exactly small, and if you don't know where something is, how are you meant to find it? Well, if you're someone that wants to see as much of what there is to see in Night City as possible, you might want to check out the new and quite popular Hidden Gems Map mod.

The mod in question, made by Mad Cat MKII, is a simple one: on your map, you'll now find icons that cover all kinds of "hidden gems, easter eggs, unique loot and curious events" that can be found across the game (thanks, PCGamesN). As noted in the description, it's "especially useful to veteran players who wish to find hidden gems they just can't remember" the locations of. Essentially, maybe don't download this one if you like to discover things on your own without any help, but if you're that dedicated a completionist, this might whittle down a few hours of Google searches and driving around Night City.
