Cybercrunch 2077 and Pokémon Stay | Podcast
Latest episode available to download now, also discusses the early success of Genshin Impact
You can now download the latest GamesIndustry.biz Podcast, in which Rebekah, Marie and James discuss three of the biggest stories of the past week.
We start with the disappointing but perhaps inevitable news that -- despite promises of 'non-obligatory crunch' and multiple delays to the game - CD Projekt Red is forcing the Cyberpunk 2077 developers to work six-day weeks in the run-up to its November 19 launch.
Then we're joined by Eurogamer's Lottie Lynn to discuss the impact of changes Niantic made to Pokémon Go to account for the pandemic -- and how it will likely affect the game now many of these are becoming permanent.
Finally, we take a look at the early success of Chinese-developed free-to-play epic Genshim Impact, as well as sharing our initial impressions of the game widely described as a Breath of the Wild clone.
