    [​IMG]Dex has been released on Xbox One and PS4. In addition, work on an update for the PC version is ongoing and will be available on the 1st of August.

    And on their site, a blog has been made available, explaining what Cyberpunk means in their opinion.

    We toss the word cybepunk around a lot in the Dex community, and we all have our own ideas about what it means, but let's take a look at its actual origins.

    The term "cyberpunk" was first used by American writer Bruce Bethke in his short story Cyberpunk in 1983. The story describes a group of "cybernetic punks" who presented a subcultural threat to the mainstream society. Bethke's cyberpunks manifested their subversiveness through hacking and cybercrime, which made them significantly more dangerous than their real punk cousins from the 20th century.

    Cyberpunk as a name of a literary genre was introduced by Gardner Dozois, the editor of Asimov's Science Fiction magazine. The genre became famous a few years later thanks to William Gibson and his cult-novel Neuromancer (1984), which established many of the defining features later expanded on by other cyberpunk writers.

    In cinema, the defining masterpiece was Blade Runner (1982), an adaptation of P.K. Dick's novel Blade Runner: Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? (1968).​
