    It's been a long time coming: A TV series adapted from the famed William Gibson novel Neuromancer will air on Apple TV+. The streamer ordered 10 episodes.

    The order comes after decades of failed attempts to greenlight a screen adaptation of the 1984 science fiction novel. The most recent widely known failed attempt was by Deadpool director Tim Miller in 2017.

    The series will be helmed by showrunner, writer, and producer Graham Roland, who until now was best known as the creator of the AMC TV series Dark Winds and for helming the series Tom Clancy's Jack Ryan on Amazon Prime Video. Roland will share a co-creator credit on Neuromancer with J.D. Dillard, a TV writer known for his work on the recent Twilight Zone reboot series.

      It cost $120M for Cyberpunk 2077 patches and DLC to fix the game’s image

    Cyberpunk 2077 cost more than $400 million to make and market, making it likely the most expensive video game ( actually released ) so far. The game's Polish developer, CD Projekt Red (CDPR), kept spending big after launch, and it seems like it has paid off—because it had to.

    The publicly traded developer recently opened up to investors about its finances. It's a good time for the company to tell its story. Cyberpunk 2077 recently saw a well-regarded 2.0 patch , an Edgerunners anime that caught on, and a Phantom Liberty DLC that's winning over fans and newcomers. A sequel has been announced , and even a live-action component is in the works.

    Taking CDPR's numbers and doing a few rough currency conversions from PLN to USD, you arrive at a number well over $120 million, depending on how you classify the work:

      CDPR’s game engine transition means no more Cyberpunk 2077 DLC

      news.movim.eu / ArsTechnica · Friday, 1 September, 2023 - 15:44

    Hopefully the use of Unreal will help prevent major glitches like this, which showed up in the console edition of <em>Cyberpunk 2077</em> around its 2020 launch.

    Developer CD Projekt Red has confirmed that there will be no more DLC content made for 2020's Cyberpunk 2077 after this month's release of "Phantom Liberty." But that decision is being driven less by analysis of player interest or sales potential and more by behind-the-scenes changes in the studio's development pipeline.

    “It’s a technological decision to be honest,” CDPR Senior VP of Business Development Michal Nowakowski said in a recent Q&A session (as transcribed by Video Games Chronicle ). "This is the last time we’re working on the Red Engine for the time being at least, and in the foreseeable future as you know we are working on the Unreal Engine from Epic. This was one of the key reasons why we decided this was the only one."

    "This is the only expansion of the game, and it has nothing to do with the numbers and how satisfied or not we are with sales or anything of the kind," Nowakowski added.
