CD Projekt RED clears up some misunderstandings about its future projects, confirming that a new Cyberpunk game isn't in active development. But that doesn't mean it's not planning another one.

Yesterday Polish website Bankier attended a meeting with CD Projekt RED, and reported three Cyberpunk games were in the works: Cyberpunk 2077, a new unannounced game, and Cyberpunk 2077's multiplayer mode. Now CDPR jumped in to clarify and open up about its current studio projects. The company has five major studios that're working on the following games:

"We currently have a total of five teams working on a number of projects, with three focusing on the development of Cyberpunk 2077. In Wroclaw, 40 industry specialists are engaged in technology R&D," CD Projekt RED said in a press statement.

Epic is taking a proactive approach to its games poaching, especially those that were funded via Kickstarter.

Shenmue 3 recently switched over to the Epic Games Store, kicking off a big controversy. After all, Shenmue 3 was funded by Kickstarter backers who were promised a Steam key, not an Epic Games Store key. Yesterday, Ys Net announced it'll be issuing refunds to those Kickstarter backers who want them. But Ys Net won't have to pay the bill: Epic is swooping in to save the small team from what could be disastrous financial losses.

This isn't a one-time deal, either. Epic plans to cover costs for any other Kickstarter games that pull a similar move. Today Epic Games CEO Tim Sweeney confirmed it'll front refund costs for future Kickstarter-funded games that switch from Steam to EGS.

The launch of Luigi's Mansion 3 is getting closer and closer and what better way to keep that excitement cranking than with the games official box art!

Nintendo has released the image of the box art on their official Nintendo of America Twitter account, and it showcases Luigi and his doppelganger friend Gooigi. It can also be noticed that Nintendo has taken their time with the level of detail in the image, an example of this is the threading on Luigi's cap.

Luigi's Mansion 3 is running scared onto the Nintendo Switch sometime later this year. If you haven't yet seen any gameplay of the title, check out this post here to see some wet towel-ghost catching action.

Spider-Man: Far From Home has just released in theatres around the globe and so far it has been received extremely well by fans, but what about them suits?

Many fans of Spider-Man who have seen the movies most likely picked up a copy of Insomniac Games' Spider-Man for the PS4 and they would of be right to do so. Insomniac arguably created the best Spider-Man game ever, adding a plethora of different suits for players to enjoy, moves and just overall some epic web-slinging action.

Speaking of suits, the new suits that are seen in Spider-Man: Far From Home are coming to Insomniac's Spider-Man PS4, they are titled Updated Suit and Stealth Suit. Images for both the released DLC suits are available in the entirety of this post. Both of the suits are available to players who have built the Advanced Suit in-game.

Claptrap and his trusty companion Steve are attempting to walk players through what Borderlands 3 will offer flora and fauna wise.

Above is Claptrap's Interplanetary Series Episode 1: Pandora, where Claptrap and his trigger happy associate Steve introduce us to what Borderlands 3's environments and inhabitants will look like. Right off the bat Claptrap reports to us that there will be a multitude of enemies to watch out for, some that fly, bury themselves and even shock players.

Not only do we see some enemies players will have to remember, but we also get some nice wide pan shots of some awesome looking environments. To get a better look at what was shown off in the video, Gearbox has provided us with some official screenshots for you to enjoy. The images are located below and are in full quality. For more information about Borderlands 3, head on over to the official website here.

Ever just wanted to rage quit the game you are playing not because you are sucking but because its obviously the games fault? You can now do it in style with this new salty controller mod.

Insert Controller Here has taken the trolling to a new level with his brand new salty controller mod. This controller mod allows for the user to rage quit their game in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, Overwatch and League of Legends by simply pouring salt into a cup of distilled water.

The cup has been modded with a micro controller, and when your pent up saltiness is added the water resistance is decreased and the controller detects a change in current between the two detecting nodes. Once this change is detected the corresponding command to quit the game is then relayed back to the console, then BOOM you are out of that toxic match. The cup supports quitting for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, Overwatch and League of Legends. Happy pouring!

MSI has just unveiled its new GeForce RTX 20 SUPER series graphics cards with all three in tow: the RTX 2060 SUPER, RTX 2070 SUPER, and RTX 2080 SUPER. MSI will offer a higher-end triple-fan cooled RTX 2070/2080 SUPER, which will act as their flagship GAMING cards.

The higher-end RTX 2070/2080 SUPER GAMING TRIO graphics cards use improved TWIN FROZR/TWIN FROZR 7 designs to keep them cooler than ever, with temps on the RTX 2070 SUPER GAMING TRIO maxing out at 65C. The RGB lighting comes courtesy of MSI's own Mystic Light RGB technology and it looks awesome, it's not too hardcore and adds to the overall style of what MSI is using on their RTX 2070/2080 SUPER GAMING TRIO.

MSI's flagship GeForce RTX 20 SUPER series family are the GAMING series cards, which offer TWIN FROZR/TWIN FROZR 7 cooling technology which not only performs great, but it looks awesome with its Mystic Light RGB coursing through the card. Great performance, overclocking headroom, and style with the GAMING series from MSI.

GIGABYTE has just unleashed its range of GeForce RTX 20 SUPER graphics cards led by the new flagship AORUS GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER 8G graphics card and boy... does it look good. All of the new AORUS GeForce RTX 20 SUPER series cards look awesome, but the flagship AORUS RTX 2080 SUPER 8G takes the cake.

The new AORUS GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER 8G features a huge triple-fan WINDFORCE STACK cooler with 3 x 100mm fans keeping the graphics card nice and cool, and a metal backplate on the back. GIGABYTE is keeping the entire card cool with VRAM and MOSFET cooling, especially the high-speed GDDR6 at 15.5Gbps on the new RTX 2080 SUPER cards.

As you can see the cooling system is pretty elaborate. GIGABYTE has infused the AORUS card with a "multi-layered design" that features wing shaped contours and resembles, in their words "the falcon's high velocity ascension and dive through the skies".

Now that NVIDIA's new GeForce RTX 20 SUPER series graphics cards are here, with my review on the GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER available right here, ZOTAC has officially unveiled its new range of GeForce RTX 20 SUPER series graphics cards.

ZOTAC have 3 of each card in the RTX 2060 SUPER, RTX 2070 SUPER and RTX 2080 SUPER. First off we have the ZOTAC GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER AMP Extreme, followed by the RTX 2080 SUPER AMP and RTX 2080 SUPER TWIN FAN. The custom RTX 2070 SUPER cards are the same from ZOTAC in that there'll be a SUPER AMP Extreme, SUPER AMP, and SUPER TWIN FAN version while the RTX 2060 SUPER cards change things up offering a SUPER MINI variant for tiny-but-powerful gaming PCs.

The ZOTAC GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER AMP Extreme will have its GPU boost clocks at 1875MHz and I'm sure with much more OC headroom, as well as its 8GB of GDDR6 clocked at 15.5Gbps (a normal thing for the new RTX 2080 SUPER cards). It features ZOTAC's beautiful use of RGB lighting, with a triple-fan cooler keeping the Turing GPU and GDDR6 nice and cool. This will be the one to look for when it comes to brute performance from SUPER and ZOTAC.

We are mere days away from AMD's new X570 platform launching alongside the next-gen Ryzen 3000 series CPUs which are based on the new Zen 2 CPU architecture, so PCIe 4.0-enabled SSDs that pump up to 5GB/sec are now a reality. Sabrent is one of the first to market with its new Rocket NVMe PCIe 4.0 SSD.

Sabrent's new Rocket NVMe PCIe 4.0 SSD is on Amazon right now and comes in two sizes: 1TB and 2TB which will cost you $230 and $430, respectively. It is powered by the Phison PS5016-E16 SSD controller that has power management support for APST/ASPM/L1, as well as SMART and TRIM commands, advanced wear leveling, bad block management, error correction code, and over-provision.

Sabrent is using Toshiba's BiCS4 96L TLC (triple-level cell) NAND flash memory that provides the Rocket NVMe PCIe 4.0 SSD to truly act like a rocket with transfer speeds of up to 5GB/sec reads and 4.4GB/sec writes. Yeah, considering normal 2.5-inch SSDs max out at around 500MB/sec having 10x the speed on tap thanks to PCIe 4.0 is hugely impressive.

Cuphead will deliver its next saucer full of deliciousness in 2020.

Today Studio MDHR confirmed Cuphead's new The Delicious Last Course expansion has been delayed into 2020. Originally slated to release in 2019, the new DLC promises to deliver meaty content for gamers to chew in by offering a brand new isle, new bosses, new weapons and abilities, and a new playable character named Ms. Chalice. Oh and there's a giant saltshaker baker's man, too.

The beloved indie charmers said the delay was in part to maintain a healthy work life. The original Cuphead required monumental crunch; Studio MDHR had to meticulously hand-draw every single character and sequence and meld them into the game. The result is one of the most visually appealing (if not rage-inducing) video games ever made.

Shenmue 3 recently swapped from Steam to the Epic Games Store, and backers weren't happy. Now Ys Net is offering refunds to anyone who wants them.

Lots of games are pulling the old switcharoo to the Epic Store, especially Deep Silver titles (the most famous is Metro Exodus). The promise of keeping 85% of all game sale revenues is a big motivator, and was able to sway yet another anticipated release. Shenmue 3 was originally a Kickstarter project that promised a Steam key, and was launched before the Epic Store even existed. Then the project got an injection of cash from Deep Silver, who took the wheel as publisher. Now that Deep Silver is in control they've sided with the Epic Store over Steam.

Kickstarter backers aren't happy and kicked up a big fuss about having no say or control over the move. The project they backed is now a one-year timed-exclusive to a store platform they didn't necessarily want. To save face, Ys Net is now letting original backers opt out of the project altogether and get a full refund of their pledges, or switch to a PlayStation 4 copy.

A bit ago some fantastic-sounding Grand Theft Auto 6 leaks popped up on Reddit, painting a huge continent-spanning scope for the sequel. Too bad it's not real.

If you thought the the recent GTA 6 leaks sounded too good to be true, that's because they are. The supposed leaked info pinpointed GTA 6 as Project Americas, a massive game centered around narcos drug kingpins in the late 70's and 80's. The game would connect North and South America and chronicle a bloody, cocaine-fueled crime trail across Vice City and a fictional Rio de Janeiro. But there's only one problem: it's not real.

The leaker claims sources at Kotaku and PC gamer gave him the info, but both publications disavow this. Kotaku's own Jason Schreier says the info is quite fake. Schreier is a well-known fountain of insider knowledge with an excellent track record. YouTuber LegacyKillaHD also chimes in, confirming the supposed leaker tried to pass off fake credentials like a blatantly phony LinkedIn profile to prove the veracity of their claims.

Real-time-strategy game fans are currently in the hot seat at the moment as one of the godfather titles of the genre is set to re-release, Age of Empires II: Definitive Edition.

As fans of the series gear up for the release of AoEII: DE, some questions were raised to how many gamers are still currently playing the series. In an interview with PCGames, Adam Isgreen, the creative lead for the series says that "We have over a million people a month playing Age of Empires games, and the numbers keep going up."

He continues and says "It can't just be nostalgia, right? There are new people coming into the franchise and playing it, and I think the interesting thing is that for a lot of RTS games, I think there is a pent-up demand - and the numbers seem to back this - for more 'thinking games,' the games that require you to plan and strategise and think." Age of Empires II: Definitive Edition will be rolled out sometime this fall of 2019.

2K Games has officially announced the next instalment into the NBA 2K franchise, NBA 2K20.

The first look teaser trailer has been released onto the official NBA 2K YouTube Channel and we can see NBA stars Anthony Davis and Dwayne Wade taking the cover spots. Davis will be on the over of the standard edition, and Wade will be taking the front spot on the Legend Edition.

Netflix has released a bunch of screenshots for their new upcoming series titled 'The Witcher', starring Superman actor Henry Cavill.

The screenshots have been released onto the official WitcherNetflix Instagram page and showcase Geralt of Rivia, Yennefer (Anya Cholatra) and Ciri (Freya Allan). Each of the images come with a caption, Geralts reads as follows: "I'm not a good man. I'm a Witcher." That is a beautiful way to simply sum up Geralts neutralness of being neither good nor bad.

The second image of Geralt says "I forge my own path. Bleed from my own mistakes. Destiny plays no part." This is a reflection on how Geralt feels in the books towards destiny playing no part in his story. Yennefers captions seems somewhat generic, and don't really reflect to much of her character in my own opinion. "My world is cruel and predictable. You enter, you survive, you die" and "Death comes for all of us, eventually. The only way to cheat it is to have a legacy."

For quite some time now Apple has led the way in the ease transferring files from one user to another. Now Google is about to enter the game with their own app Fast Share.

According to a report by 9to5Google, the company is currently in the works of preparing their own file sharing app. This app is designed to make the transferring of files between Android phones and Chromebooks easy for the user. The feature has been titled Fast Share and it is planned to replace the NFC-based Android Beam. Fast Share is set to release widespread across Android and Google devices in the final version of Android Q which is planned for later this year.

Fast Share will use Bluetooth to discover and connect with the desired device and then establish a direct Wi-Fi connection between the users. The direct connection will allow for files to transferred extremely quickly and will act much like Apple's AirDrop feature. At the moment there is no word on how Google plans to achieve smooth cross-platform compatibility with their large range of devices or if this feature will require the most updated version of Android.

You knew it was inevitable, and here it is -- Flappy Royale. The new Flappy Royale seems identical to the hit game Flappy Bird, but with the expected battle royale twist.

Flappy Royale seems you flapping around against 99 other birds in it for the win, but there's no details on just how exactly Flappy Royale will work. We do know that the new twist on Flappy Royale is that it has new customization options, which includes hats and outfits... in... flappy... bird. Alrighty.

Flappy Royale was designed by Orta Therox and Em Lazer Walker, meaning it's not an official game in the Flappy Bird family -- so we could expect it to be removed, or renamed, or re-designed at any time. Best of all, you can try Flappy Royale out right here.

The largest individual solar power project in the world has just been turned on, with the United Arab Emirates as its home with the Emirate Water and Electricity Company starting up Noor Abu Dhabi.

Noor Abu Dhabi is capable of 1.18 gigawatts of peak capacity, and when compared to Solar Star in the US that cranks out 569MW, the new UAE-based solar farm is truly a beast. Abu Dubai is talking up the environmental side of its new facility, with its 3.2 million solar panels providing enough power for 90,000 people. It will also lower CO2 emissions by 1 million metric tons, which is the same as removing 200,000 cars from the roads, according to the Emirate.

Mohammad Hassan Al Suwaidi, Chairman of EWEC said: "The completion of the project marks a significant milestone in the UAE's Energy Strategy 2050, launched in 2017, to increase the contribution of clean energy in the total energy mix to 50 per cent by 2050 while reducing the carbon footprint of power generation by 70 per cent. This is in line with the sector's transformation strategy by providing alternative sources of energy that can help us improve the sustainability of the water and electricity sector."
