Cyberpunk 2077 Mod Fleshes Out NPCs, Expands World Building

Cyberpunk 2077 is crammed with a whole bunch of world-building, having years of source material to draw upon. However, more than two years since the Game launched, there's a fair chance that many of us are all caught up on the various wars and feuds in the world of Cyberpunk, and would rather learn more about the people of Night City itself.

That's where this new mod, The Lives of Night City, comes in. Through the introduction of a load of new shards and some changes to enemy AI, the world of Night City has been fleshed out, giving its citizens more to do. The player even has more job opportunities, giving you another way to earn some eddies, and feel part of an alive and vibrant Night City all at once.

The mod isn't finished yet, but its creator, Nexus Mods user dedicated247, already has a fair amount of features listed with the current build.

One of the most significant is the new jobs, bounty hunting, civilian escorting, and taxi driving. There's also a new ambush system, in which enemy NPCs will seemingly masquerade as normal pedestrians before they attack you. This gives you a reason to scan everyone as they walk by, other than aimless curiosity.

That's far from all dedicated247 has been up to, however. On top of this, the creator has written up their own shards, adding 40 new original short stories to the Game. They'll be dotted around Night City like the rest of the shards, fleshing out the world of Cyberpunk even more. The author says that these shared will tell 12 different stories, adding a fair bit of extra content to look out for.

The mod is still in active development, so it's worth keeping an eye on if you're looking for something else to get up to in Cyberpunk 2077. Of course, on the official front, we have Phantom Liberty coming out at some point this year, so the mods should keep you busy until then.

The Last Of Us Show Confirms How The Virus Spread

HBO's The Last Of Us is well and truly off and running now, its second episode airing on Sunday night. That episode confirmed a fan theory regarding how exactly the cordyceps fungus was able to spread so quickly. Be warned if you haven't seen the first two episodes of the show, the rest of this article is teeming with pretty significant spoilers. Just hours after the show premiered nine days ago, fan theories started to swirl pointing to contaminated flour being the root of what quickly becomes an effectively world-ending pandemic. That theory was confirmed to be accurate during the opening few minutes of episode two. Another flashback, this time in Indonesia, during which a mycologist examines a flour factory worker infected by cordyceps.

MTG's Phyrexia: All Will Be One Card Lets You Kill Your Opponent In Just Two Turns

Magic: The Gathering’s next set, Phyrexia: All Will Be One, is currently being previewed. While we’ve seen all kinds of big, splashy cards, the one that’s given players the fear is, of all things, a tiny little Goblin Warrior. With just three cards and two lands, Cacophony Scamp can wipe an opponent out as early as turn two. Even more scarily, this combo works in both Modern and Pioneer, where it could give birth to a new take on the deck known as Hammer Time. RELATED: Magic: The Gathering – Phyrexia: All Will Be One Previews As noted on Reddit, Cacophony Scamp is an unassuming 1/1 Goblin Warrior costing just one red mana. It doesn’t have haste, but it does have two big upsides: it can sacrifice itself once it’s dealt combat damage, and when it dies, it deals damage equal to its power to any other target. THEGAMER VIDEO OF THE DAY With these two abilities, Cacophony Scamp becomes an absolute fiend when...

SteamWorld Build To Launch Later This Year, Demo Available Now

SteamWorld is set to leap to yet another genre later this year with SteamWorld Build, a city builder that has you play as a steambot architect building a post-apocalyptic wild west-style town atop an abandoned mine full of monsters. For those unfamiliar with SteamWorld, it's a franchise that first got started as a tower defense Game on the Nintendo DS back in 2010. Since then, it's branched off into Metroidvanias with SteamWorld Dig and Dig 2, turn-based strategy in SteamWorld Heist, and an RPG deck builder in SteamWorld Quest. Now in SteamWorld Build, the steambots will take on Cities: Skylines with its own unique twist.
