It's been three years since Ubisoft announced it was working on a VR instalment of Assassin's Creed, and with the game — now officially titled Assassin's Creed Nexus VR — nearing its release, the company has shared an extensive eight-minute gameplay breakdown to get players in the mood ahead of its November launch on Meta Quest 2, 3, and Pro.
What is Project Orion and how does it relate to Cyberpunk 2077?
30.09.2023 - 11:51 / pcinvasion.com / And How
Cyberpunk 2077 has recently benefited from its 2.0 update and Phantom Liberty release, revolutionizing the way we play the game and adding a whole new story arc. This may be the final update for the game, but CD Projekt RED isn’t done with the franchise just yet. Around this time last year, CD Projekt RED released a Tweet that introduced Project Orion to the world, and excited fans everywhere. So, what does Orion mean for Cyberpunk’s future?
In the tweet that introduced Project Orion, CD Projekt RED also released all other projects that the company is working on. They said that Orion is the code name for the next installment in the Cyberpunk franchise that will ‘continue harnessing the potential of this dark future universe.’ Not wanting to give away the name of their next Cyberpunk game, the company has settled for the code name ‘Orion’. We have yet to see if Orion is an arbitrary choice to not attract any guesses and predictions, or whether it does hint at something the game will bring.
In that same tweet, code names for other projects they were also working on were also revealed, including a few titles for The Witcher franchise as well as an entirely new original game. We have a lot to look forward to.

Orion is a giant and very handsome hunter in Greek Mythology, and there is even a constellation to go with it. Considering the setting of Cyberpunk is a dystopian future, I wouldn’t wager that the Greek roots are what we’re looking for here. I believe, that if the code name Orion has anything to do with the Project it’s concealing, there will be some element of the hunt. Whether that materializes in being the hunter or the hunted, we wouldn’t be able to tell.
That is a slightly inconclusive result, however, as in Cyberpunk 2077, we were either hunting someone or were being hunted by Arasaka, so it is a very loose theory that could fit any game, but it’s all I got. If anything, it could hint that the game is going to be even heavier in that plot aspect.
It could also simply be that Orion is referenced, either symbolically, metaphorically, or through dialogue in the coming game. Perhaps the constellation or the myth will be a very relevant plot point.
Or, again, it could simply be a cool-sounding random word. Either way, we’re excited to find out more.
I hope you enjoyed my best attempt at explaining Project Orion for the Cyberpunk franchise. If you’re in the market for all things Cyberpunk, head on over to PC Invasion.

Deathmatch Island RPG fuses Lost with Squid Game, and a little Severance too
Tim Denee and Evil Hat Productions’ upcoming tabletop role-playing game Deathmatch Island draws on the lethal stakes of competition in Squid Game and The Hunger Games, with characters forming temporary alliances before inevitably turning on each other in a battle royale. But the fast-paced RPG, which launches a crowdfunding campaign through BackerKit on Oct. 17, also works to capturethe mystery of Lost and Severance. Your character is likely to die, but that just gives your next character the opportunity to puzzle out what’s going on behind the scenes and fight against the game itself.

The devs behind stunning open-world RPG Project Mugen explain how it actually plays
Urban open-world RPG Project Mugen popped out of nowhere back in August, and we haven't learned much about the game since the updated trailer publisher NetEase released last month. Even so, the Genshin Impact x Grand Theft Auto themes were more than enough to perk up my ears. But there was still a lot I didn't know about the game, and it's seemingly not coming out anytime soon, so I was eager to talk to the folks at developer Naked Rain about how it actually plays.
