Quick summary

"The issue with Cyberpunk was not really REDengine itself."

What we know so far

Automatic note by LuaCat Games, built from what we know about the coverage (who reported it, how many sites, the story’s history) — not a translation or copy of the source.

So far, only PC Gamer is talking about this — if confirmation shows up, it’ll be added here. Few franchises came back as well as Cyberpunk 2077, and the audience hasn't forgotten it. In the 30 days before this one, 50 other The Witcher stories ran here.

Bottom line: Better wait for someone else to confirm before taking it as a given.
