A new player in the gacha market, Dislyte was the subject of controversy within its first few weeks of launch. The game was pretty hostile towards rerolling, it had a ludicrous pity system for its first proper event, and most importantly, the endgame content was just boring.

There’ll also be a new protagonist to get to grips with, although Techland’s keeping its cards close to its chest right now....

This week on the Eurogamer Newscast we’re discussing the avalance of announcements to come from CD Projekt Red, maker of The Witcher series and Cyberpunk 2077. Taking a leaf out of Ubisoft’s recent playbook - when it lay the entirety of its Assassin’s Creed plans on the table - CD Projekt Red has done similar, discussing projects which we’ll see release across the whole of the next decade. There’s going to be a new trilogy of new Witcher games, a Cyberpunk sequel, a new IP and various other spin-offs - though there was no word on Cyberpunk’s standalone multiplayer portion, and still no firm date for The Witcher 3’s long-awaited current-gen console update....
