With Cyberpunk 2077’s Update 2.1, players can expect several exciting additions to the range of experiences Night City already offers. Chief among them is a city-wide fully functional NCART metro system, offering a more relaxed way of getting about the most dangerous megalopolis of the dark future — and taking in the beautiful views along the way. Radioport, another new feature, lets players enjoy the eclectic musical vibes of Cyberpunk 2077’s selection of radio stations beyond the confines of their vehicle of choice — for example, during a peaceful walk through the city center. New hangouts with romantic partners are also available to partake in, as following Update 2.1 players will be able to invite their in-game significant other to enjoy some quality time together in V’s apartment.

The latest REDstreams, hosted by Senior Community Managers Alicja Kozera and Amelia Kołat, premiered December 1st on Twitch and featured CD PROJEKT RED Producer Monika Janowska and Quest Director Paweł Sasko, who shared additional details about the upcoming free update to Cyberpunk 2077.

Further new features include additional chases and replayable car races — the latter was only available as a finite set of missions, but now can be replayed to gain further rewards and discounts on the Autofixer website, through which players purchase cars. The developers also prepared a series of improvements to boss fights, including the late-game Adam Smasher fight. Smasher’s AI has been improved and he’s now equipped with a Sandevistan, as seen in the award-winning anime Cyberpunk: Edgerunners.

Also coming with the new update are the Porsche 911 Cabriolet, new motorcycles, upgraded motorcycle handling and new riding mechanics, new secrets to discover, and more, including a healthy dose of technical improvements and accessibility features for players to choose from — such as a larger interface font and the ability to turn off the timer in the Breach Protocol minigame.

Ahead of the release of Update 2.1, players can discover more of Night City’s history with the Night City Archives, a video series that delves into the complex past and dark future of the city.

TORONTO, Canada – Nov. 30, 2023 – Slay the Princess, the fully-voiced surreal horror visual novel developed by Black Tabby Games (Scarlet Hollow), revels in regal reception with a new accolades trailer as the game surpasses 100,000 units sold on PC across Steam and GOG.

Stumble into the middle of a dark, dense forest as a mysteriously disembodied voice directs you to a small cabin on the hill. The Narrator (voiced by Jonathan Sims of The Magnus Archives) grants the simple eponymous instruction: enter the cabin and slay the Princess (voiced by Nichole Goodnight) or the world ends. 

Will you hear her out? Or will you, without thought, grab the dagger on the table and descend to the Princess’ cell to fulfill the dirty deed? Maybe you’ll just…walk away? Each decision bears the heavy weight of compounding context as how players arrive at scenarios becomes as important as the situation itself. Each loop reveals new secrets, and new sides of a figure who keeps changing and remembering what happened the last time you met…

Navigate a looping, branching narrative that pushes the story forward with over 3,300 hand-drawn illustrations by Ignatz-winning graphic novelist Abby Howard (The Crossroads at Midnight, The Last Halloween). See each and every side of the Princess through multiple attempts to slay her, with a narrator that seems omniscient and omnipotent…even if he’s the only one that can’t remember what happened the last time you reached the cabin.

“It’s been absolutely incredible to see such a positive reception from fans, critics, creators, and everyone,” says Tony Howard-Arias, Lead Writer at Black Tabby Games. “People making time to not just play our game but to replay it, share their experiences, create art, and write fan fiction in a world where so many games demand your attention has been a real honor.”

Slay the Princess is now available on Steam and GOG for PC, Mac, Linux, and Steam Deck for $17.99, alongside a $9.99 Supporter’s Pack containing the OST. A bundled discount is also available with Black Tabby Games’ Early Access title Scarlet Hollow. For more information on Slay the Princess, check out the official website, follow developer Black Tabby Games on Twitter and Tumblr, and join the official Discord and Reddit.
