I half anticipated Witcher devs CD Project Red to be trolling us with the solitary ‘beep’ from the Cyberpunk 2077 account final week, and that we wouldn’t hear something from them for an additional 5 years. I imply, in fact it was trolling – however Polish web site GRYOnline have reported fresh rumours for the RPG, claiming sure info has arrived with them courtesy of two impartial sources.
If the rumours are to be believed, Cyberpunk 2077 could have a public trailer at E3 2018, and there’ll be a personal, playable demo for the press.
GRYOnline don’t disclose these sources, however being one of many largest Polish video games websites does lend the location some credibility. What’s extra, as VG247 point out, CD Project Red may very well be following an analogous plan to their E3 technique from 2013 after they first confirmed off The Witcher three. The public bought a gameplay trailer, and the journos bought to observe a demo in personal.
I can’t consider a sport I’m trying ahead to greater than Cyberpunk 2077 – I caught it on our record of video games we’re excited about for 2018 regardless of figuring out that probabilities of it popping out this yr are virtually nil. After the spellbinding Witcher three, the prospect of exploring a equally fleshed out sci-fi world makes me giddy.
Just as that sport was constructed from the world of the Witcher books, Cyberpunk 2077 is ready in the identical world as tabletop RPG Cyberbunk 2020. Adam got to chat with the creator of that RPG final yr, the place they mentioned his position in serving to CD mission keep true to the style.
“At core, unless you have the meaning behind the black leather and the neon, you lose what cyberpunk is. That’s the problem with getting Cyberpunk made as a videogame; people don’t get it. They think it’s about action heroes quipping as they take down corporations.”
He’s a Witcher fan, too:
“I think Geralt is a little bit cyberpunk and I hope we can sneak something in 2077 that relates to him without the fans immediately catching on. He does what he needs to do, he doesn’t necessarily get any joy out of it – he just makes sure that what needs to go down does go down. It’s a combination of fatalism and romanticism. That’s cyberpunk.”
It’s a wide-ranging interview that roams from discussions about reliance on expertise to using faceless villains in Blade Runner, and is well worth a read.
