A penalty for abandoning Arenas games has also been added to hopefully prevent those less than desirable teammates from dropping you right into it.

Returnal's a pretty solidly-designed game overall, with only the most minor of bugs occasionally cropping up and making a current run through its biomes that much more challenging. Biome, what a fun word to say. Like any game in the modern age, developer Housemarque had a patch locked and loaded to fix up any lingering issues, but the latest update may have had the unfortunate side-effect of uh…wiping save-games.

The Beatles once crooned that all you need is love, proving once and for all that the quartet of drugged-up minstrels are massive idiots. All you really need is a steady supply of chunky guns, a battlefield full of enemies to turn into bloody giblets, and unlimited temporal powers born from an alien storm that rewrote your existence on a quantum level.

The latest patch for Cyberpunk 2077 finally mutes that annoying AI whenever you get near one of his pilfered taxis.

The first quarter of this year has been relatively dry on the big blockbuster side of gaming, but that drought is getting some much-needed AAA rainfall next week! People Can Fly’s very grim and somehow also very silly Outriders arrives on April 1, and as you’d expect, you’ll really want to have your internet connection ready to rock and possibly roll on launch day.

Is Cyberpunk 2077 still in a rough state currently, plagued by bugs and devoid of certain promised content? Absolutely. Will the game get better in time? Probably, as CD Projekt Red has been hunkering down to bring the ambitious dystopian sandbox up to speed in the wake of an infamous launch. Those updates will take time though, and in an ironic twist, even longer thanks to some real-life cyber punks hacking into CDPR’s servers and running off with valuable source code to the game.

Beyond the new class, Larian Studios also announced a host of new changes to the game that should have fans very excited.

It’s very annoying that it broke the game but at the same time the fact that a sixteen year old game is still getting updates should be celebrated.
