CD Projekt Red’s Night City Wire series has given us some very comprehensive looks at the many details and facets of the main setting of Cyberpunk 2077. During their recent stream, the developers at CD Projekt Red unveiled a fully explorable website that focuses on Night City, which you can check out right now. Similar a real-world website for any major city, the official Night City website is way more blunt and candid about the current state of things, offering us some surprising details about life in the big, expansive locale–even if most of them are somewhat terrifying. It’s a cool bit of worldbuilding, and if you’re interested in Cyberpunk 2077, it’s a fun read to understand just how crazy the game’s setting is.

One of the more imaginative things about cyberpunk fiction is that it examines our present-day through an extrapolated lens, allowing us to look at our current issues in a different light. This site works well as a satire of capitalism and corporate greed, putting in similar territory to the satirical look at America in Paul Verhoeven’s Robocop, but it also does a lot to show what’s in store for players in the game once it releases on November 19. Here’s a quick look at some of the most interesting and bizarre details from Night City’s official website.

A Brief History Of Night City

One of the first features you’ll see on the site is a quick rundown on the history of Night City. Located on the west coast in Central and Northern California, Night City was first established by billionaire industrialist Richard Night. He would not live long enough to see the completion of the city, but his vision would continue on. In the year 2077, Night City is a massive city-state with its own government, law enforcement, currency, and communities that inhabit it. Violence, corruption, and capitalism are the norm in Night City, and 2077 looks to be the roughest year the place has seen yet. The mayor of Night City in 2077, Lucius Rhyne, even shared his thoughts on the state of things.

Last month, DC presented Fandome which gave fans its first look at the upcoming Suicide Squad sequel, simply called The Suicide Squad, directed by James Gunn. Kinnaman is only one of four returning from the original cast, alongside Margot Robbie as Harley Quinn, Jai Courtney as Boomerang, and Viola Davis as Amanda Waller.

In an interview with THR, during doing press for his upcoming thriller, The Secrets We Keep, Kinnaman talked about the script for the film how he thought it was the funniest thing he’s ever worked on.

“[The Suicide Squad] is going to be insane,” Kinnaman said. “The script is so funny. Every page of that script was funny, and every page made me laugh.” He also went onto praise Gunn as a director and how he seems him as somebody who “commands that genre.”

In 1989, writer and illustrator Kentaro Miura took readers on a decades-long journey revolving around the mercenary Guts in a fantasy world as he hunts down his enemy Griffith. Guts is primarily known for the gigantic sword he carries around, which is bigger than he is. Now, after originally ending in 2018, it looks like Berserk is coming.

Manga Mogura discovered that there is a big reveal coming for the franchise on October 9, 2020. And the tagline for this announcement is “The New Beginning.” Check out the tweet below, which links to the Young Animal site, the Japanese manga that publishes Berserk.

The site also features some familiar images, including Guts and his trademark sword. It’s been a few years since there’s been anything new from Berserk, with Volume 40 publishing in Japan in September 2018 with the English translation coming a year afterward.

A new update for No Man’s Sky will arrive next week on PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One. Titled Origins, developer Hello Games said the patch notes will be revealed when the update drops.

The studio hasn’t specified what’s coming to No Man’s Sky when the Origins update releases. Hello Games did call the update “the beginning of something new, as No Man’s Sky continues to grow and evolve.” Hello Games was quick to reiterate that Origins isn’t the largest update.

Whatever is on the way to No Man’s Sky next week, Hello Games assured that the team has worked hard to “deliver in difficult circumstances.”

Michael Ancel, creator of Rayman and Beyond Good & Evil, has said he’s leaving the world of video games to open a wildlife sanctuary – but assured fans that work on Wild and Beyond Good & Evil 2 will continue without him.

Posting on Instagram, the director wrote: “Today is very special for me. After more than 30 years, I’ve decided to stop working on video games and fully focus on my second passion : Wild Life ! My new project takes place in the real world and consists in a wild life open sanctuary dedicated to education , nature lovers and … wild animals.”

Addressing his currently ongoing projects, Ancel reassured fans: “Many of you might want to know what will happen to Wild and BGE2. No worries, since many months now the teams are autonomous and the projects are going super well. Beautiful things to be seen soon.”

[ignvideo url=”https://www.ign.com/videos/14-games-that-seemingly-vanished”]

Wild was first announced in 2014, with Ancel setting up a brand new studio to create the open-world PlayStation exclusive. It’s been very quiet for a long time, but we saw the game get an unexpected art update earlier this year as the developer continues to hire for the project.

Beyond Good & Evil 2 was also first announced in 2014, but wasn’t officially revealed until E3 2017. The incredibly ambitious RPG sequel to the cult classic original aims to offer “a seamless multi-planet world populated by dynamically-generated characters, with unique stories being told and optional social interaction throughout.”

In an update on Beyond Good & Evil 2, senior producer Guillaume Brunier wrote: “For years, Michel imparted his creative vision and helped us remain faithful to BG&E’s incredible universe. His uncompromising passion pushed us to redefine what was possible in crafting an expansive, multicultural, and futuristic science-fiction world. As we move forward, we are all committed to remaining true to this vision.”

An Ubisoft press release also pays tribute to the director:

“Today Ubisoft announces that Michel Ancel has chosen to leave the video game industry after an exceptional career spanning more than 30 years. A nature-lover, Michel has been working on a personal project dedicated to the protection of wildlife for a long time. This project, a wildlife sanctuary in the region of Montpellier, France, is now growing in scope, and he wishes to put his full effort into this longstanding passion.

Michel is at the origin of some of Ubisoft and the video game industry’s most beloved franchises, including Rayman, the Raving Rabbids and Beyond Good and Evil, whose second opus, Beyond Good and Evil 2 is currently in development. The teams at Ubisoft Montpellier are currently focusing on the main stages of production, aligned with the vision set out by Michel. They will have more to share with their community of fans in the months to come.

We would like to thank Michel for the incredible creative vision he has brought to Ubisoft over the course of his career, and wish him all the best for this new venture.”

Ancel rose to fame as the creator of Rayman, and has helped create every mainline game in the series, going on to helm Beyond Good & Evil and the video game adaptation of Peter Jackson’s King Kong.

Sony has said that the company doesn’t plan to bring its new first-party games to a Game Pass-like subscription service because it wouldn’t be “sustainable.”

Sony Interactive Entertainment CEO Jim Ryan broke the news in an interview with GamesIndustry.Biz. The interview noted the surprising reveal of the PlayStation Plus Collection during the PS5 conference, which will bring a library of the PS4’s best games to the console, available to PlayStation Plus subscribers for free.

In light of this news, Ryan was asked whether PlayStation might follow Microsoft’s lead in bringing all of its future first-party games to a subscription service upon the day of release.

[ignvideo url=”https://www.ign.com/videos/2020/09/16/ps5-release-date-trailer”]

“For us, having a catalogue of games is not something that defines a platform,” Ryan told GamesIndustry.Biz. “Our pitch, as you’ve heard, is ‘new games, great games.’ We have had this conversation before — we are not going to go down the road of putting new releases titles into a subscription model. These games cost many millions of dollars, well over $100 million, to develop. We just don’t see that as sustainable.”

Ryan added that Sony’s ambition is to make games “bigger and better, and hopefully at some stage more persistent.” A day-one first-party subscription model like Game Pass wouldn’t suit that ambition for PlayStation. “We want to expand and grow our existing ecosystem, and putting new games into a subscription model just doesn’t sit with that.”

In other PS5 news, Ryan recently told Famitsu that the PS5 won’t be backwards compatible with PS3, PS2 or PS1 games. You can also check out our list of all the PlayStation 5 launch games to prepare you for the console’s November release.

Yesterday was bittersweet. The PS5 console and RTX 3080 video card both went up for order, and both sold out nearly instantly. As of now, it’s pretty much impossible to find a PS5 from an authorized reseller. For those lucky souls who did score, the PS5 accessories including the DualSense controller are still available on Amazon. For those looking for the RTX 3080 video card, we’ve only seen a single vendor that has anything in stock (and unfortunately you’ll have to pay over MSRP). However, there are gaming PC rigs featuring the RTX 3080 video card that are still available.

A new Max Raid event has begun in Pokemon Sword and Shield. To commemorate the seasonal equinox, Pokemon that evolve via Sun or Moon Stones are appearing more frequently in Max Raid dens across the Wild Area and Isle of Armor, and you’ll have a chance to encounter Shiny Clefable in the Raids. You’ll need to act fast, however, as the event only runs through this weekend.

• Clefable
• Wigglytuff

As previously mentioned, you’ll also have a chance to encounter a Shiny Clefable in five-star Raids.
