Cyberpunk 2077

Cyberpunk 2077 is an upcoming role playing video game in development by CD Projekt Red. The Game was announced during the 2012 CD Projekt Red Summer Conference as the official video game adaption of Mike Pondsmiths 1988 Pen and Paper RPG. Originally Titled as just Cyberpunk, the 2077 subtitle was added in late 2012. As of May 2018 the game has yet to be released.

The Video Game is a direct sequel to the pen and paper RPG Cyberpunk 2020, and is set fifty seven year later in Night City, California. The game is stated to be an large, open world, non-linear RPG in which CDPR is promising to deliver a mature, futuristic world with multiple character classes and a huge selection of weapons and technical upgrades.

Setting
Cyberpunk 2077 is set in a dystopian metropolis of Night City, located south of San Francisco around the area of Monterey, CA. During the setting of 2020, it is said to have a population of more than five million inhabitants, however the number is suspected to be considerably more in 2077.

Following an economic collapse sometime in the early 21st century, the United States has to rely on the Mega corporations to survive. These corporations deal in a wide range of areas, such as weapons, robotics, cybernetics, pharmaceuticals, communications and biotechnology and many companies operate above the law.

The world is inspired by the works of authors such as William Gibson and Phillip K Dick, whose novel Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep, and subsequent movie adaption Blade Runner heavily influenced creator Mike Pondsmith in creating the original RPG.

Gameplay
The game is set to be an open world non-linear RPG, in which players are able to heavily customize their character to suit their play style. Gun play, exploration, player choice and activities such as hacking are to feature heavily throughout the game with missions, quests and objects being completed in a variety of different ways.

One such example of gameplay is non-english speaking characters featured throughout NightCity. Players may be required to purchase a translator implant to understand them, with varying levels of success based on the implant they buy.

The Game was originally stated to be a single player experience with multiplayer elements, however it was reported in early 2018 that the multiplayer components may have been scrapped.

Development
The Game was originally announced in early 2012, with the working title of Cyberpunk being unveiled at the CDPR Summer Conference. The game was stated to come after their then-current project of Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, with an undetermined date in the future. In late 2012 the title Cyberpunk 2077 was officially revealed with a cinematic trailer being shown in early 2013. The trailer was created by Platige studios and directed by Tomek Baginski, who also created the cinematics for the Witcher series of games.

During the beginning of production it was reported that a team of 50 people were working on it, however after the completion of the Witcher 3 and its subsiquent expansion packs, the team has reportedly grown larger, with dozens of jobs being advertised on the CDPR website. In early 2018 it was reported that a new studio had been opened in Wroclaw, Poland to assist in the development of the game.

Marketing
The game made its first appearance at the 2012 CDPR Summer conference, as well as many other CDPR press events. In late October 2012 the official Cyberpunk YouTube channel released its title reveal video, and then again in January 2013 it revealed its full cinematic reveal trailer, created by Tomek Baginski.

Later that month in 2013 they released a short video of original creator Mike Pondsmith, explaining what cyber punk is and what the feel is.

It is reported that CDPR will have a heavy presence at the 2018 edition of E3 in june.
