  • The new Witcher game won’t land soon, that’s for sure. Given The Witcher 3 landed in 2015, and Cyberpunk 2077 is coming in 2020, we may be waiting another five years before CD Projekt RED is ready to drop another open-world RPG. And in the meantime we’ll have The Witcher season 2, that animated Witcher movie, and the back catalogue of Witcher games and Witcher books to keep us busy. So, what would we want to see in a new The Witcher game, possibly ten years after its previous entry? Continued sa

  • YouTube has introduced a new feature that makes it easier than ever to watch videos on repeat.
