CD Projekt RED reveals Cyberpunk 2077

CD Projekt RED, creators of the award-winning The Witcher series, has finally settled on a name for their new cyberpunk RPG adventure.

Just so there’s no chance of gamers getting confused as to what kind of game they are playing, they went with Cyberpunk 2077. Actually, the real reason is because the new game actually takes place in the same universe as Mike Pondsmith’s classic Cyberpunk and Cyberpunk 2020 pen and paper RPGs. Both reasons make sense though!

Anyway, take a look at the newly released announcement trailer and enjoy some pieces of art and new information.

Platforms and release dates have yet to be announced.

CD Projekt RED has officially announced the title of its in-development role-playing game. ?Cyberpunk 2077? will be set in the world created by Mike Pondsmith, one of the fathers of the cyberpunk genre and the creator of the cult-classic pen-and-paper RPG, Cyberpunk.

?The Team has to love the material. The Team has to want to be faithful to the material. The Team has to have the skills to execute the material and see that vision through to the end. They have to be on fire with the desire to make an extraordinary game.

And that leads, at last, to why we hooked up with CD Projekt RED? ? Mike Pondsmith commented, why he has chosen to work with the Polish game developer.

The cyberpunk atmosphere, well known from William Gibson?s novels, the ?Blade Runner? movie and the famous pen-and-paper game, ?Cyberpunk 2020?, will surround the player. The creators promise that ?Cyberpunk 2077? will be true to the essence of the cyberpunk genre. Players will be thrown into the dark future of the year 2077 and into a world where advanced technologies have become both the salvation and the curse of humanity. A multi-thread, nonlinear story designed for mature players (a CD Projekt RED trademark) will take place in the sprawling metropolis of Night City and its surroundings. Players will have a chance to visit places well known from ?Cyberpunk 2020?, including a combat zone completely taken over by gangs, the legendary Afterlife joint and the nostalgic Forlorn Hope.

Freedom of action and diversity in gameplay will be delivered thanks to the sandbox nature of the game and mechanics inspired by the ?Cyberpunk 2020? pen-and-paper system, fine tuned to meet the requirements of a modern RPG. Gameplay will pump adrenaline through players? veins and be consistent with the celebrated Cyberpunk spirit ? rebellion, style, edge, uncertainty. And of course, a cyberpunk reality cannot be deprived of murderous steel ? guns, rifles, implants, dozens of gadgets and other varied pieces of equipment needed to survive on the streets of Night City. The developers are focused on making the technology of 2077 credible and exciting.
