CYBERPUNK 2077
RELEASE September 17 | DEV CD Projekt RED | PUB In-house | LINK cyberpunk.net
In some ways, it’s hard to know what more to say about the Witcher developer’s upcoming sci-fi RPG. Yes, it still looks slick as hell. Yes, it’s still the most highly anticipated game we’ve seen in years. And yes, we still reckon it’ll be something seriously special.
It’s been so many years of breathless anticipation that it’s surreal to think that—despite another delay, from April to September—Cyberpunk 2077 is finally coming out this year. Before you know it, we’ll be driving around the streets of Night City in a swanky future sports car, hopping out to blast gangsters, hack people’s brains, and get blades surgically inserted in our arms.
Various pre-release controversies have exposed that the setting is probably less thoughtful than we’d initially hoped—the philosophical and social implications of a dystopian world seem to be taking a backseat to the rule of cool.
But hey, at least they’re committed to that rule. We’d struggle to think of many things cooler than Keanu Reeves living in your head. The question now is, how cyberpunk will our PCs need to be to run this beast?
