Scopely x CD Projekt: Mobile Power Combo Incoming

CD Projekt x Scopely: A Mobile Power Combo Is ComingWitchers, Cyberpunks… and Monopoly? Witcher Puzzle-RPG? 😅 Big news in gaming: CD Projekt, the studio behind The Witcher and Cyberpunk 2077, is teaming up with mobile giant Scopely, the force behind Monopoly Go, to bring one of its iconic franchises to mobile. The collab was quietly dropped during CD Projekt’s earnings call. No title yet, no gameplay, just a hint: something big is brewing. And with Scopely recently buying Pokémon Go dev Niantic for $3.5B, the timing is exciting. Imagine Ciri leading a monster-hunting AR game. Or a neon-lit Cyberpunk squad battler.

Netflix Games loses its VP Gen AI

Netflix Games & AI: A Fumbled Play? As reported by VentureBeat, five months after Netflix Games went all-in on Gen AI, its biggest champion, Mike Verdu, has exited the stage. His sudden departure raises serious doubts about the company’s long-term commitment to the tech. Verdu was all in on the AI revolution. His LinkedIn post announcing his role dripped with excitement, likening this moment to the 90s gaming boom when each new release shattered expectations. “We’re back to those days of seemingly unlimited potential and the rapid pace of innovation,” he wrote. But enthusiasm aside, he never quite nailed down exactly how AI would transform Netflix’s gaming efforts, especially as the industry wrestled with layoffs and skepticism. Without Verdu at the helm, Netflix’s AI-powered gaming vision feels adrift. There’s no announced successor, no clear roadmap, just uncertainty. Meanwhile, the company’s […]
