Connect To Nightcity Like Never Before with Official Opera GX Cyberpunk 2077 Hub Feature

Opera GX unveils Cyberpunk 2077 hub – bringing the game’s entire universe directly into the browser. 

Oslo, Norway – 15 January 2025 – Norwegian browser company Opera [NASDAQ: OPRA] is unveiling the Opera GX hub, a new feature designed to blend the universes of its users’ favorite games directly into the browser. Starting with the Cyberpunk 2077 hub, this new addition to Opera GX brings players closer to their favorite titles than ever before, making it possible for them to use the web while never leaving Night City. They can now browse with the full Cyberpunk 2077 soundtrack playing in the background, have webpages displayed in the dystopian Cyberpunk 2077 style, and get direct access to streams, modding guides, news from the game and much more – all within the browser. 

The Cyberpunk 2077 hub in Opera GX is the first of its kind. It’s a new integrated feature that connects the universe of a game with the user’s browsing experience. It also gives fans access to essential game-related content and tools, making it easier for them to stay up-to-date with the game while browsing the web within a single space. This collaboration with CD PROJEKT RED is just the beginning: Opera GX will be working on more immersive game integrations in the future. 

This is not the first collaboration between Opera GX and CD PROJEKT RED. Last year Opera GX released a customizable Cyberpunk 2077 mod, which has been downloaded over 1.3 million times. Now, Opera GX is taking it a step further by offering a feature no other browser has: full integration with the Cyberpunk 2077 universe, allowing users to stay within it while browsing.

“The feedback from the Cyberpunk 2077 mod made it clear that players wanted an even deeper connection between their games and the browser. That’s why we decided to set a precedent and give fans what they really want: an immersive experience with the games they love. This new hub merges game features directly with Opera GX so that players can stay in the game’s world even while browsing,” said Maciej Kocemba, Product Director at Opera GX.

The Cyberpunk 2077 hub is free to all Opera GX users. Accessible from the GX Corner home page, the hub brings a range of game-focused features, including:

  • Videos & Music: Stay up-to-date with the latest official Cyberpunk 2077 news, developer streams, and videos. Access Night City vibes with the official scores from the base game and the Phantom Liberty expansion, plus official Cyberpunk 2077 playlists and ambient sounds.
  • Explore Night City: Get access to the world map and click on the images to instantly see the location in Night City on an interactive map – perfect for players who love taking in-game photos.
  • Game Booklet: The Cyberpunk 2077 hub includes the Game Booklet created for both newcomers and veterans of Night City alike. You can find fundamental information to get you up to speed, take a deep dive into the game thanks to interviews and insight from developers, and more.
  • Build Planner: Plan new builds or peruse guides created by CD PROJEKT RED to enhance your character.

Modding & Cosplay: Get tips on modding Cyberpunk 2077 and find the necessary files to cosplay as your favorite characters. The Cyberpunk 2077 hub is available now exclusively on Opera GX through the GX.store. Download the Mod and get the hub automatically.

Taipei, Taiwan, 15 January 2025 | ible Technology, the consumer electronics company focused on well-being and quality living, is entering the video game VR space. Sportvida CyberDash, this new developer’s first title, is a virtual reality running simulator that combines physical activity with boxing mechanics. Slash, break, and ram obstacles as you race towards the finish line to a new personal best!

Heart-Pumping Entertainment

Sportvida CyberDash is a VR running game combining thrilling challenges with fun physical activity. Enter a high-tech futuristic world where slashing, dodging, and smashing oncoming obstacles tests your reflexes and physical limits. Race through exhilarating levels to reach the finish line as quickly as possible. Whether you are a fitness enthusiast or simply seeking stress relief, this game will help you find your workout rhythm and rediscover joy in movement.

Slash, Dash, and Smash

Sportvida CyberDash immerses players in an approachable environment to reach their fitness goals. Choose from any of the game’s 30 maps and enjoy a thrilling soundscape as you learn the ropes of this coordinated adventure. Sportvida focuses on continuous forward movement and acceleration, challenging your reflexes and decision-making skills as different obstacles block your path to the finish line. Three different strike modes present separate challenges, encouraging players to think on their feet. Ram through highlighted walls, slash through obstacles with digital blades, or punch through targets with powerful fists. Sportvida’s combination of dodging, forward acceleration, and quick thinking challenges the mind and the body.

Made for All Levels

The game accommodates every skill level, from novice to expert, offering courses of varying intensities. Hone your coordination for striking and dodging in Sportvida’s beginner levels, and advance to new challenges at your own pace. For a casual gameplay experience, Sportvida’s ‘Lenient Mode’ balances gameplay with light cardio, reducing the amplitude of motion required to trigger running.

  • Global Challenges: Compete against yourself to set a new personal best, or fight for a spot on the worldwide leaderboard!
  • Casual Play: If you want to play casually, you can lower the workout intensity with ‘Lenient Mode’ or use ‘Practice Mode’ to trial the mechanics on untimed maps.

Madcap Adventure GLUM Gets Boots on the Ground for Steam Next Fest!

Check out the exclusive GLUM demo during Steam Next Fest

Aalborg, Denmark, January 15, 2025: CinderCat Games is bringing its own brand of grumpy misfit mayhem to Steam Next Fest in February, with an exclusive new demo of their upcoming Early Access title GLUM!

Releasing in Early Access for PC later this year, GLUM stars the titular antisocial goblin, who finds himself tasked with a quest well above his minion paygrade after his boss is kidnapped. And so, with his magical boot and a serious chip on his shoulder, Glum embarks on a journey of magical ass-kickery and whimsical violence.

This upcoming Steam Next Fest will take place from February 24 – March 3, and will feature a Steam Next Fest-exclusive demo for its duration. But be warned, the demo will no longer be available following the end of Steam Next Fest, so be sure to act fast!

This exclusive demo will allow players to explore a sandbox level, in which they’ll be able to try out two unique magic abilities: Bootzooka & Foot Fetch, all while engaging in GLUM’s specific brand of high-paced, kick-ass physics combat. 

And it’s not all bloody combat either! While exploring the comedic world of GLUM, players will encounter numerous secrets hidden within – such as garden gnomes to destroy and dirty magazines to collect!

About GLUM

  • Kick first, ask questions never: Use well-timed kicks and quick movements to launch enemies into walls, traps, and each other in chaotic physics-based combat. Need more firepower? Charge up your boot to cast spells and punt those enemies straight to boot camp. To Glum – everything’s a weapon if you just kick it hard enough.
  • Journey into the wacky realm of Damoros: Follow the trail of your kidnapped boss through a world where rival overlords rule with ridiculousness, chaos is just another Tuesday, and one man’s catastrophe is another man’s comedy.
  • Embrace whimsical violence: Combine kicks, spells, and environmental chaos for ever more creative destruction. As Glum, you’ll unlock new magical powers for your boot, proving that even the least qualified anti-hero of Damoros can kick his way to notoriety in this darkly comedic misadventure.

GLUM will be available for PC in Early Access later this year, and will be available in Steam Next Fest from February 24 – March 3

Diablo IV – Wield Mystic Powers in ‘Season of Witchcraft’

Today, Blizzard Entertainment revealed the next season for Diablo IV: Season of Witchcraft, starting on 22 January 2025. Heads have been stolen from the Tree of Whispers, and the Witches of Hawezar require aid to track them down… and the culprit, too. In exchange, they will bestow the wonders of Witchcraft upon you as you fight mighty new foes. 

  • WITCHCRAFT: From the teachings of the Witches of Howezar, players can channel the power of the Swamp. Explore three different schools of Witchcraft Powers to find the ability combination that suits your playstyle, whether you seek supernatural strength, are a practitioner of connected mind and spirit, or wish to balance healing and harming skills. By finding and equipping the new Seasonal Legendary Gems, Occult Gems, you can harness devastating and iconic abilities, some of which harken back to Diablo III. 
  • HEADROTTEN BOSSES: Cut from the Tree of Whispers, the Stolen Heads have mutated into ghastly abominations, desperate to become whole and human again. New Headrotten Bosses and enemies await as you follow the Whispers of the Dead. By completing the new endgame Headhunts, players can hunt down Headrotten and claim their heads in exchange for Occult Gems. If you’re lucky, you might find a “Headed” Headrotten Boss, a rare boss variant that grants even more valuable rewards. 
  • ARMORY: The long-awaited new armory feature allows players to quickly save and swap complete character loadouts. Save and overwrite different builds for your heroes as you please; all Gear, Skill Points, and Paragon Points will be automatically applied when swapping. 
  • SEASONAL REWARDS: Season of Witchcraft adds additional Uniques and Legendaries to the loot pool. Vessel of Hatred players can also experience three new Runes and many updates to existing Runes. Those who seek more drops can ascend tiers of the Coven’s Favor, earn rewards like a Raven Pet via the Season Journey, or progress through the Battle Pass.

Escape a Nightmarish Living Labyrinth in the Surrealist Mystical World of Moroi, Coming to PC Early 2025

Ghastly visions and grim humor bolster bloodstained hack-and-slash action

LOS ANGELES (Jan. 14) – Publisher Good Shepherd Entertainment (Dicefolk, Monster Train) and developer Violet Saint today announced Moroi, a dark fantasy hack-and-slash adventure inspired by Romanian folklore, heavy metal and the brilliant works of David Lynch, will beckon you into a peculiar, puzzling world steeped in dark comedy and unsettling horror when it launches on PC in Early 2025 https://store.steampowered.com/app/2518410/Moroi/.

Indulge in eternal torment with Moroi’s reveal trailer

Descend into the shadow-choked depths of Moroi’s Cosmic Engine, a maddening labyrinth of twisting corridors and forgotten horrors. Plagued by amnesia, your name, past and sins are beyond memory, shrouded in darkness. As you claw your way through this realm of torment, you face grotesque inhabitants in a land where dark-as-night humor is the only silver lining. Cling to your sanity in an otherwise deteriorating existence styled as grimdark fantasy, a subgenre of fiction distinguished by bleak, dystopian settings and scenarios.

Wage war against Moroi’s battalions of mages, guards and the cursed undead while wielding a gruesome arsenal of unorthodox weaponry. Tear through the flesh of your foes with the jagged teeth of a hellish duck, or unleash a storm of projectiles with the aid of a flying brain. Around every corner lies an unexpected discovery or new instrument of death.

The labyrinth’s horrors extend beyond the bloody thrill of combat, conjuring otherworldly environments, eccentric acquaintances and puzzles calling for unconventional approaches. Moroi’s trials forgo mere riddles and sliding blocks; embrace macabre solutions like drinking blood, forcing regurgitation or scavenging through innards to forge deeper into the Cosmic Engine. Each puzzle has its own clever solution, often awarding triumph in exchange for suffering. Engage with the Cosmic’s bizarre residents to uncover the secrets of their twisted world, savoring moments of dark humor to lighten the unrelenting dread.

Escape is your only hope, the key to uncovering the grim truths that bind you. But tread carefully – the choices you make will carve your path toward one of multiple endings, shaping a fate that may prove more harrowing than the Cosmic Engine itself.

Watch exciting features explained in the new gameplay video, including the switchable third-person and first-person perspective combat.

January 14th, Gliwice, Poland.Today we are launching the official Kickstarter fundraiser campaign for Chernobylite 2! Thanks to your support, we’ll be able to expand the game with fully switchable first-person and third-person perspectives in any gameplay moment.

Support Chernobylite 2: Exclusion Zone on Kickstarter (https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/thefarm51/chernobylite-2-exclusion-zone-an-open-world-sci-fi-rpg/).

Add the game to your Steam wishlist to follow the game’s development.

When we launched our first Kickstarter campaign a few years ago, the response we received exceeded our wildest expectations. Thanks to your support, we managed to create the game of our dreams. Released in 2021 on PC, PlayStation, and Xbox, the original Chernobylite finally reached its last development stage by launching on Nintendo Switch recently. Today, we believe that by joining our forces again with our community, we will succeed even more on Chernobylite 2.

Over the past few months, we have listened to many of your opinions about Chernobylite 2 announcement and analyzed them meticulously. One issue was critical to you – we’ve moved to third-person combat in the new game, and many of you were missing a first-person perspective that allowed you to play the game with the focus on detail of beautifully recreated 3D-scanned Chornobyl Zone.

Then we’ll fix it, however, to do this, we need to ask you for support again. On our Kickstarter page, you can read about the details of the fundraiser and our answers to the most important questions. And of course, you can also check the prizes that can be collected for your support. There is a lot of good stuff!

Also, remember to follow us on our social media (likes, comments and shares for greater reach are welcome!), and we encourage you to join us on Discord.

So don’t hesitate! Let’s make Chernobylite 2 rock together!

ABOUT CHERNOBYLITE 2: EXCLUSION ZONE

Chernobylite 2: Exclusion Zone is a post-apo action RPG, mixing free exploration of a huge and extremely realistic open world, challenging combat, unique crafting, and team and base management with non-linear storytelling.  The main character tries to escape the sinister Exclusion Zone and return home, breaking the barriers of time and space and fighting the emanations of the insidious Chernobylite.

The story told in the game will make you fight to survive in the most dangerous place on Earth. Whether you become the hunted or the hunter depends on how quickly you can evolve, your ability to adapt, and the strategy you follow when exploring the open world of the Chornobyl area. In the daytime, you can see the Zone as an intriguing, exciting, or even beautiful area, but when dusk comes, the absolute terror starts and you have to face it every night.
