During the Microsoft press conference at E3, a trailer for the upcoming Cyberpunk 2077 was finally shown. There, Cyberpunk 2077 even clearly dismisses “microtransactions.” However, the details of the RPG were very well hidden.
After the first moving images of CD Projekt RED’s Cyberpunk 2077 were shown, some fans were disappointed. It seemed that not much about the game itself was revealed. However, this is not correct, as the developers hid a message in a hacker text before the trailer itself that reveals a lot about Cyberpunk 2077.
Players can create their own character
CD Projekt addresses the fans: The hidden letter to the fans begins with CD Projekt RED apologizing for the long wait until something about Cyberpunk 2077 was seen. After all, the game was announced over 2077 days ago.
It was further revealed that players can create their own character. On the recently launched website for the game, the protagonist is simply called “V,” which should leave enough room for a custom character. However, how far the personalization will go and whether it will also include the protagonist’s gender is still unknown.
Microtransactions? Are you crazy?
No microtransactions: In their letter to the fans, CD Projekt RED also poked fun at the controversial topic of microtransactions. In the message, the question was asked whether Cyberpunk 2077 would have microtransactions as well. The developers responded: “In a single-player RPG? Are you crazy?”
No release date yet: So far, it is still unknown when Cyberpunk 2077 will be released, and the developers’ message provided little more clarity. In response to the question about the release, CD Projekt answered: “When we said we would release the game only when it is finished, we meant it… Patience is still required.”
Huge game world and DLCs: The question about the size of the world was also answered: “Seriously big… but to be honest, we have no damn idea.” Additionally, Cyberpunk 2077 is expected to take a similar approach with DLCs as The Witcher 3. This could mean that there will be free additional content, but also some for which players will have to pay.
Finally, the developers announced that Cyberpunk 2077 on PC is 100 percent DRM-free.
