Stolen CD Projekt Red Files Reportedly Now Sold After Dark Web Auction

Image
Files stolen from CD Projekt Red in a ransomware attack revealed earlier this week have reportedly now been sold in a dark web auction. Dark web monitoring organisation KELA (which previously provided The Verge  with what it believes to be legitimate file lists from CD Projekt's Red Engine) reports that an auction set up to sell the files has now been closed after a "satisfying offer" was made from outside of the forum it was being held on. That offer reportedly stipulates that the code will not be distrubuted or sold further. Cybersecurity account vx-underground  also reported that it had heard the sale was completed. Just in: #CDProjektRed AUCTION IS CLOSED. #Hackers auctioned off stolen source code for the #RedEngine and #CDPR game releases, and have just announced that a satisfying offer from outside the forum was received, with the condition of no further distribution or selling. pic.twitter.com/4Z2zoZlkV6 — KELA (@Intel_by_KELA) February 11, 2021 Speaking to...

Cancelled Iraq War FPS Six Days in Fallujah Resurrected for 2021 Release

Six Days in Fallujah, a military FPS based on a real Iraq War battle, has been resurrected by a new developer and publisher after being cancelled by its original publisher over a decade ago. Set for release on PC and consoles this year, the new version of Six Days in Fallujah is developed by Highwire Games - a studio founded by Halo’s lead designer - and published by Victura. A tactical shooter, the game is based on events that took place in 2004 during the Second Battle for Fallujah in Iraq. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2021/02/11/six-days-in-fallujah-announcement-trailer"] Designed with accuracy in mind, over 100 Marines, soldiers, and Iraqi civilians have been interviewed to ensure authenticity. The campaign depicts six days of conflict as experienced by the U.S. Marines as they attempted to recapture Fallujah from Al Qaeda. To simulate the battle, the developers at Highwire Games claim to have created “unique technologies and game mechanics” designed to repli...

Hood: Outlaws & Legends Sounds Like a Co-Op Ocean's Eleven Merry Men Simulator

Shown as part of Sony's State of Play and at The Game Awards last year, Sumo Digital’s Hood: Outlaws and Legends is a multiplayer heist game set in a dark reimagining of Robin Hood-era medieval England. But while the trailers are flashy, they give little more than a hint as to how Hood will play. Thankfully, Sumo decided it was more than happy to tell IGN everything – and its deeply detailed description makes Hood sound like an Ocean’s Eleven Merry Men simulator. Game director Andrew Willans explains to me that a match of Hood is made up of three stages; stealing the key to a vault, grabbing treasure from said vault, and escaping the map with your haul. It’s a fairly straightforward concept, but the barriers between your four-player team and the treasure are not just AI guards and a labyrinthine map. Rather than a co-operative game, Hood is competitive; a rival team of players are also present, hunting for the exact same prize that you are. It’s not just a heist, but a race, too. I...

DICE LA Is Working on a New Battlefield Game

DICE LA is working on a new Battlefield game, according to the studio's Senior Design Director Justin Wiebe. As spotted by VG247 , Wiebe asked his Twitter followers on Monday to guess which "EA owned franchise" he was excited to be working on. After shooting down Plants vs Zombies, Skate and Apex, Wiebe added that "It's Battlefield," confirming that DICE LA is working on a new game in EA's Battlefield shooter series. In one of his replies, Wiebe said that it wasn't Peggle , but that it would be "cool to turn into a class-based shooter." Sign us up for that one. DICE LA has previously supported the development of the Battlefield series, but back in January of 2020, Respawn CEO Vince Zampella took over Dice LA. At that point there were reportedly plans to change the studio's name and release an "original, as-yet-unrevealed game," but it looks like the team will still be working on Battlefield after all. Of course, the DICE LA t...

The Witcher: Old World Is a New Board Game Set Before Geralt’s Career

Image
CD Projekt Red is co-publishing The Witcher: Old World, a board game from Go On Board that explores the world of The Witcher in the years before Geralt took up his sword. Designed by Łukasz Woźniak (creator of Titans and Valhalla), the deck building game supports between two and five players. It's set around a competition between Witchers, with each player aligned to one of the five Witcher schools: the Wolf (sword combat), the Griffin (magic), the Cat (speed), the Bear (defensive), or the Viper (poison). Players are provided with a deck of ten cards suited to their chosen school, which include attacks, blocks, dodges, and magical Signs, which are used in combat encounters. Killing monsters will provide players new cards to add to their deck, gradually building the ability to play powerful combos. Players are able to embark on a variety of quests that will reward both cash and renown. Success in quests is important, as the first player to earn a certain amount of trophies will be c...
