CD Projekt RED has reportedly been working with Shantae developer WayForward on a Cyberpunk: Edgerunners project codenamed Gemini. The rumor comes from MP1st, which discovered the news from the portfolio of a former WayForward developer, who listed this project as in development as of 2025-2026. Of course, there's no telling whether the concept moved forward or was scrapped, as is often the case in game studios. Still, the few details available point to a "rollback-driven" 2.5D beat'em up, which could have fit the anime style of Edgerunners. WayForward also has some experience in the genre thanks to the River City […]

A new report claims CD Projekt Red had a Cyberpunk: Edgerunners game in development, created in partnership with WayForward. Before you get too excited though, it also appears that the game may have been scrapped after an early prototyping phase. 

According to a report from MP1st, a former WayForward developer’s portfolio referenced an unannounced CDPR R&D project titled “Gemini”, described as a Cyberpunk: Edgerunners game. The work took place between 2025 and 2026, suggesting the project never moved beyond early prototyping. The listing included an internal logo combining Edgerunners branding with the Gemini codename.

It is claimed that Gemini was envisioned as a “rollback‑driven” 2.5D brawler, aligning closely with WayForward’s experience on River City Girls. The developer’s notes mention rollback‑safe architecture and online transport integration, indicating that online multiplayer and rollback netcode were planned features. However, the portfolio does not clarify whether Gemini was greenlit, paused or cancelled.

While a small-scale Cyberpunk Edgerunners game may no longer be happening, fans do have Season 2 of the anime to look forward to later this year. CD Projekt Red is also still hard at work on Project Orion, the codename for the sequel to Cyberpunk 2077.

KitGuru Says: Gemini, if real, sounds like an interesting idea, although it is not exactly the type of game fans of Cyberpunk 2077 are going to be looking for.

At last week's Unreal Fest in Chicago, Epic Games unveiled the integration of AI tools like Claude and Gemini into Unreal Engine 5.8 (and the upcoming Unreal Engine 6) through an MCP server. As with all things related to AI, the news received a somewhat mixed response from the development and gaming community, especially as fears of "AI slop" become rampant. In an interview with IGN, Epic Games founder, CEO, and majority shareholder Tim Sweeney admitted that there's the risk of that, but likened it to the "asset flip" of this new generation of games, asserting that low quality games […]

Although Wall Street loves AI, every day Americans are significantly less optimistic about the industry, a new report from Pew Research shows.

During the State of Unreal 2026 presentation, streamed live from Chicago's Unreal Fest, Epic Games announced the launch of Unreal Engine 5.8 and also talked in depth about the upcoming Unreal Engine 6, first teased last month during the Rocket League Championship Series 2026 in Paris. Founder, CEO, and majority shareholder Tim Sweeney took the stage to explain that UE6 is about evolving how games are shipped and operated, not just improving rendering or world-building: The vision is that if you build things once in Unreal Engine 6, then you can have a game you can ship everywhere, including the […]

Apple's new Siri, empowered by a custom Google Gemini model in the cloud, was supposed to run on Apple silicon, or so the maker of iPhones had assured not too long ago. Yet, Apple has struggled to accommodate Google's behemoth of a model on its own servers, forcing the Cupertino-based tech giant to resort to a NVIDIA GPU-based band-aid of sorts to safeguard at least a shred of its privacy-related credentials, all the while hosting the Siri-enabling Gemini model on Google's servers.

Gemini Spark helps automate everyday tasks, from inbox summaries to local event planning, but it’s unclear why Google made it a separate product.

Google I/O made it official: AI-generated answers are now front and center in search, and most brands have almost no visibility into how AI is describing them to their customers. For anyone who has spent years building a strategy around 10 blue links, the rules just changed in a pretty significant way.  On this episode of TechCrunch’s Equity podcast, Rebecca […]

One of the most promising introductions at Google’s I/O developer conference on Tuesday was a new way for consumers to use the web: AI agents. Unfortunately, it was also the most confusing.

Google launched Gemini 3.5 Flash, its most powerful coding and agentic AI model yet, at the company's annual developer conference. It is capable of autonomously executing complex tasks and building software from scratch.
