CD PROJEKT RED Partners With Anonymous Content to Develop Live-Action Project

CD PROJEKT RED, the video game development studio known for its critically acclaimed The Witcher series of games and the best-selling Cyberpunk 2077, is pleased to announce it has begun a collaboration with global media company Anonymous Content to develop a live-action project set in the world of its video game, Cyberpunk 2077.

Anonymous Content is an independent global media company known for producing Emmy-winning series such as True Detective and Mr. Robot, as well as Academy Award-winning films including The Revenant and Spotlight. As part of the collaboration, CD PROJEKT RED is working directly with Anonymous Content Studios’ Head of Television Garret Kemble, Director of Development Ryan Schwartz, and Chief Creative Officer David Levine, an industry veteran who was previously HBO’s EVP and Co-Head of Drama for over 10 years, where he oversaw production of series such as True Detective, Westworld, and True Blood. He was also involved in the production of the early seasons of the Game of Thrones.

Current AC Studios series include Saint X directed by Dee Rees, Shantaram starring Charlie Hunnam, The Last Days of Ptolemy Grey starring Samuel L. Jackson and Dominique Fishback, as well as the second season of Random Acts of Flyness. Upcoming series include season four of True Detective starring Jodie Foster, Time Bandits from Taika Waititi, Disclaimer from Alfonso Cuarón, starring Cate Blanchett and Kevin Kline, and Savant, starring Jessica Chastain.

The new project is at an early development stage and has currently commenced searching for a screenwriter to tell a brand-new story set in the world of Cyberpunk 2077. Garrett Kemble, David Levine, Ryan Schwartz, and Bard Dorros will produce on behalf of Anonymous Content alongside Charlie Scully. Anonymous Content’s AC Studios will serve as the studio on the project. The project will be developed in close collaboration with the Cyberpunk 2077 creative team. More information about the project will be made available as the partnership between Anonymous Content and CD PROJEKT RED progresses.

CD PROJEKT RED has had previous successes in adapting the world of its best-selling video game for new mediums, including the critically acclaimed Netflix anime series Cyberpunk: Edgerunners, created in collaboration with Studio Trigger, which went on to win several major awards, including Anime of the Year from IGN and Crunchyroll. In 2023, CD PROJEKT RED released the novel Cyberpunk 2077: NO_COINCIDENCE written by best-selling sci-fi author Rafal Kosik, while the brand-new board game Gangs of Night City is currently in production by the board game publisher CMON.

About Cyberpunk 2077

Cyberpunk 2077 is a narrative-driven, action-adventure role-playing game set in Night City, a California megalopolis controlled by Megacorps and plagued by crime and poverty. In the dystopian Cyberpunk society, the line between humanity and technology has become blurred, and people modify their body with advanced cyberware to survive. The game follows V, a low-level mercenary hoping to make a name for themselves. After a heist gone wrong, a biochip containing the essence of dead rocker-turned-terrorist Johnny (played by Keanu Reeves) embeds in V’s mind, forcing V and Johnny to work together to remove the biochip before V ends up dead. Players are faced with choices and consequences as they customize their character and playstyle, take on jobs, and build their reputation. The game has sold over 25 million copies and won over 200 awards, and is also the inspiration for the award-winning Netflix anime Cyberpunk: Edgerunners, created by CD PROJEKT RED in collaboration with Studio Trigger. The game’s spy-thriller expansion Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty premiered in September 2023 to critical acclaim. Cyberpunk 2077 is set in the universe of the classic pen & paper RPG system, Cyberpunk 2020.

Mythical Games Brings Street Racing and Car Ownership to Web3 Gaming with Official Launch of Nitro Nation World Tour

Following the launch of the NFL’s first Web3 game, Mythical is partnering with CM Games, McLaren Automotive, and DeadMau5 for the launch of its first AAA mobile racing game.

[Seattle, Washington] – October 5, 2023 –  Continuing its unrivaled momentum in 2023, today, Mythical Games officially launched Nitro Nation World Tour (NNWT) on Android and iOS. This AAA mobile racing game was developed in partnership with CM Games, the creators of the critically acclaimed Nitro Nation franchise. Nitro Nation World Tour takes players around the world while they race, earn, collect, and digitally own hundreds of fully licensed cars from the world’s most sought-after car manufacturers, including Aston Martin, Jaguar, and Pagani, among others, with McLaren Automotive as the season one headliner.

Nitro Nation World Tourfeatures several game modes, including real-time PvP races – known as Duels – tournaments, seasonal play, events, challenges & trials, and ghost races. The game also includes a robust campaign mode that offers an immersive story and memorable characters. To achieve a top ranking, players must work to develop a well-curated collection of cars, improve their racing skills, and possess a deep understanding of how track lengths and car tuning can affect their races.

In addition to CM Games, Mythical is collaborating with world-renowned electronic musician and car enthusiast deadmau5 on the launch of the game in conjunction with his upcoming tour, starting on October 5th in Tokyo, Japan, with NNWT creative visuals included in his live show production. As an official Nitro Nation World Tour partner, deadmau5 will be featured prominently in the first season of the in-game World Tour festival, enabling players to participate in a themed racing event and compete for an exclusive deadmau5-themed in-game car.

“I’ve always loved living on the cutting edge of technology, and I’m proud to be a partner and launch the game during my upcoming Day of the deadmau5 shows,” said deadmau5 (Joel Zimmerman). “I’ve said before that music is 80 percent fun and 20 percent work. Video games, for me, are all about fun. I hope you’ll enjoy playing the game as much as I have.”

“It’s been exciting to work with great partners such as CM Games, McLaren Automotive, and deadmau5 to help us launch Nitro Nation World Tour,” said Jamie Jackson, Co-Founder and Chief Creative Officer of Mythical Games. “We’re really looking forward to seeing how the community rallies around the game, and it will be fun to see how collectors are going to trick out their rides to either sell or race against their competitors.” 

Nitro Nation World Tour incorporates digital collectibles in the form of both its cars and workshops that players can purchase, hold, or trade throughout gameplay. While the cars are used to race, the workshops exist to maintain or improve the cars’ performance through upgrades, repairs, and customizations. Players can also loan out the cars they own or rent other players’ vehicles to experience a different make or model. 

Nitro Nation World Tour incorporates a social networking feature that allows players to join or create their own Social Club, which act as associations for like-minded players to work together towards mutual racing goals and provide team support.

Nitro Nation World Tour is built on the Mythos blockchain gaming ecosystem and is powered by MYTH, Mythical’s native governance token for in-game currencies. Governed by the Mythos DAO, and with support from industry leaders in Web3 gaming, the Mythos ecosystem aims to democratize games and allow players and creators to participate in game value chains through the benefit of Web3. 

Nitro Nation World Tour is now available in both the App Store and Google Play Store for download on mobile devices.

Sydney, Australia – October 5, 2023 – Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. today announced Galaxy SmartTag2, launching in Australia on October 12. Galaxy SmartTag2 enables new and better ways for Samsung users to keep track of valuables. Upgrades to the design and usability create even more use cases for the device than ever before.

Intuitive Features Make Finding Lost Items Easier Than Ever1

Galaxy SmartTag2’s brand-new Lost Mode2 allows users to register their contact information to display a message when the SmartTag2 is scanned. This means a Galaxy SmartTag2 attached to a pet’s collar is now a convenient way to ensure the pet owner’s phone number is always there, in most places where the pet might wander. Lost Mode works with any Samsung mobile device with NFC reader and web browser. 

Galaxy SmartTag2 now provides a Compass View feature, enhancing the user experience by providing arrows to show the direction and distance of the Galaxy SmartTag2 in relation to the user. This mode is available on any UWB-supported Galaxy smartphone, such as the Galaxy S23 Ultra3.

Even in Normal Mode, battery life now lasts up to 500 days. With the flexibility to switch between two modes, users can track their valuables – from car keys to bikes – for longer.

Sleek Design Adapts to Even More Conditions and Brings More Use Cases

Galaxy SmartTag2’s new compact size and ring-shaped design was created with ease of use in mind. These accessories can also attach to bags and luggage.

Galaxy SmartTag2’s durability has also been upgraded with an IP675 rating for water and dust resistance. For pet owners, there’s no need to worry about everyday wear and tear on the device from their pet’s water bowls or running around outside.

Galaxy SmartTag2 also supports a new pet walking mode, making it easy for users to log walks with their furry friends.

Users can accessorise and help protect their Galaxy SmartTag2 with an array of cases available from Samsung.com/au from October 12. Starting from AU$29, the Galaxy SmartTag2 cases have been designed in an array of bold colours and for different needs, so no matter how users put their SmartTag2 to use they can have the confidence it will be protected.

Peace of Mind, Repackaged

Galaxy SmartTag2 takes advantage of both Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) and UWB capabilities, leveraging Augmented Reality (AR) Find technology to visually guide users toward their item using their Samsung Galaxy smartphone camera. In addition, Galaxy SmartTag2 works within maximum Bluetooth range of 120 meters and can control smart home appliances through the SmartThings app.
