After knocking the socks off of almost everyone at E3 (thanks in part to Keanu Reeves), you’re probably wanting more of CD Projekt Red’s Cyberpunk 2077. There are also probably those who don’t know about the origins of the title, which is based off of the 1988 tabletop RPG, Cyberpunk 2020.

Not to worry, as that original tabletop RPG is getting a new edition later this year called Cyberpunk Red. Not only will it serve as the perfect entry into the world of Cyberpunk 2020, but it will also serve as a bridge into the upcoming video game.

The new edition of Cyberpunk 2020 is getting a special starter set called the Cyberpunk Red Jumpstart Kit, which will hit retail on August 1, 2019 at the upcoming Gen Con 2019. After that, the full version of the tabletop RPG will be released later this year by publisher R. Talsorian Games.

The starter kit will retail for $29.99, and includes a full Cyberpunk adventure for new players to run with their friends, along with a rulebook and lore book to establish the setting and characters. The starter kit also features dice, maps, and a set of characters to let players jump right in.

Cyberpunk 2077 is due out for PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC April 16, 2020.

Dead by Daylight fans have another Tome launch today in Tome 19: SPLENDOR, bringing with it a new content update, the game’s next Modifier, a new Tome packed with unlockable rewards, and a major update to the in-game store. Accompanying the update will be several Outfit Collections, which will be arriving over the next couple of weeks.

After giving fans a taste of what’s to come with the time-limited Lights Out Modifier, Behaviour Interactive has introduced a new one with Chaos Shuffle, offering a completely different challenge. In the Chaos Shuffle Modifier, players will be jumping into Trials with randomly selected Perks from all of Dead by Daylight’s available Perks. However, instead of relying on tactics they’ve grown accustomed to, players will now have to contend and strategize with the Perks they’re dealt at the beginning of the match. Chaos Shuffle will be out soon.

Along with the new Modifier is the new Event Tome with SPLENDOR, packed with new challenges, memories, and classy rewards to Dead by Daylight, inspired by all things gold and silk. Players will unlock memories that offer a glimpse into The Artist and Zarina Kassir’s past, with new outfits for The Trickster, Nea Karlsson, Mikaela Reid, The Skull Merchant, and many more characters across the Free and Premium Tracks. Players who purchase the Rift Pass instantly unlock a gold-adorned Outfit for The Trapper, and those who complete the track are rewarded with a brutal Ultra Rare Outfit for The Doctor.

As for the in-game store, with over 30 Chapters packed with content and outfits for our numerous Survivors and Killers, the in-game store has been given a complete visual overhaul. The new interface allow players to easily find items that are on sale, cosmetics from a specific collection, as well as purchase bundles that contain multiple items at a discounted price.

Finally, there are the new Outfit Collections that are coming to Dead by Daylight in the coming weeks.

  • The Forgotten Myth Collection brings a horrifying Visceral Legendary Outfit for The Huntress, complete with its own unique Mori.
  • Metamorphosis manifests in different ways. The returning Chrysalis Collection reimagines both Killer and Survivor with butterfly or moth-inspired looks.
  • The return of the Visions of the Future Collection offers new futuristic looks for several Survivors.
  • A new addition to the Nicolas Cage Essentials Collection proves the actor needs no stylist to look cool.
  • The Forgotten Garden Collection spreads botanical brutality to two Killers.
  • The Cats & Dogs Collection brings more cozy sweaters to the game inspired by our furry friends.

Dead by Daylight is available on PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Xbox Series, Nintendo Switch, and PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store.
