Cyberpunk 2077 officially 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 cyberpunk atmosphere 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 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. And of course, a cyberpunk reality cannot be deprived guns, rifles, implants, dozens of gadgets and other varied pieces of equipment needed to survive on the streets of Night City.

Cyberpunk 2077 currently does not have a release window or what platforms the game will arrive on.
