After the enormous success of the Witcher 3 which is still receiving great sales and acclaims to this date, CD Projekt Red is working hard at its next big IP Cyberpunk 2077. For those who do not know about Cyberpunk 2077, it is an upcoming role-playing video game developed by CD Projekt RED and published by CD Projekt for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One (as speculated to date). It was announced way back in 2012 in the form of a short CGI teaser trailer but we didnt hear much about it anytime later. We got snippets of info but no major reveal. It should be noted too that Cyberpunk 2077 is heavily based on the actual tabletop roleplaying game in 1988 created by Mike Pondsmith who is acting as a consultant on the game. We have composed a summary of everything you should know about CD Projekt Reds next big IP, Cyberpunk 2077.
Setting & Gameplay
Cyberpunk 2077 is set in an open world metropolis called Night City. The game will feature non-English speaking characters and players who do not speak the languages can actually buy translator implants to better understand them; depending on the advancement of the implants, the quality of translations will vary, with more expensive implants rendering more accurate translations. This Braindance, is a digital recording device streamed directly into the brain, allows the player character to experience the emotions, brain processes and muscle movements of another person as though they were their own.
Cyberpunk Release Date
So far, there hasnt been any leak or news on when Cyberpunk is coming out, and CD Projekt Red has mentioned that they will reveal it when it is ready and it will be a surprise. But according to the CEO of CD Projekt Red, all of the marketing materials and promotional assets are ready to go but they are just waiting for the time to announce it when it is good and ready. Many are speculating that it will be announced in the time frame of the PlayStation 5 which is due around 2019 according to some analysts.
As Cyberpunk 2077 is heavily based on Michael Pondsmiths tabletop game as mentioned previously, we can expect many elements to be part of the video game. As his table top features classes such as journalists, arockstar, executive and others, Michael Pondsmith mentioned in an interview with Wccftech that you can play as any of those characters.
Yes, you can. Theyre all going to be there, but I can tell youre going to find some surprises about how weve done it and I think youre really going to like it. Theres a lot of subtlety going on there. Adam (Kiciski, CD Projekt REDs President, and co-CEO) and I spent literally like a whole week messing with the ways of implementing that, so you get the most feel for your character.
But you should keep in mind that there are actually nine classes in the tabletop game being: Media, Corporate, Fixer, Cop, Nomad, Rockerboy, Solo, Techie, Net-runner, and Nomad.
In terms of development, Michael Pondsmith is shaping up to his vision. He also stated in the interview with Wccftech that
The vision is really pretty close to what I had in my head years ago. When did the CGI trailer, I looked at it and said, Oh my God, thats like perfect. And there were all these little touches from Cyberpunk in the background, because theyre fans. I said to me, They really did it! Thats awesome. So, the feeling has stayed the same and weve also been continually developing it to keep that feeling.
Along with the single-player story, Cyberpunk 2077 will include a multiplayer component but we are unsure in what context this multiplayer will be like.
