Slowly but surely, new information about Cyberpunk 2077 is leaking out, the new game from the makers of The Witcher. We will tell you everything important that there is to know so far.
What do we know about Cyberpunk 2077, the new game from the Witcher creators?
The creators of the Witcher series, CD Projekt RED, have been working on a new RPG for quite some time. However, not much is known about Cyberpunk 2077 so far, other than that it will be an RPG set in the future, loosely based on the tabletop Cyberpunk 2020. Because 2020 is no longer as far away as it once was, the year has been slightly adjusted.
The game takes place largely in an open world, in a city named Night City. Since not all characters in the game speak English, it is initially not possible to understand all NPCs. Therefore, players must first upgrade themselves with various implants to be able to understand more and more people (which then unlocks new missions).
The classes from the tabletop Cyberpunk 2020 are set to come to Cyberpunk 2077
But what classes will there be in Cyberpunk 2077? According to the author of the tabletop Cyberpunk 2020, who is involved in the development of Cyberpunk 2077, “many, if not all” classes from the old game will also be present in the PC version. This means that the following classes will likely be available:
- Cop (Police Officer)
- Corporate
- Fixer (Information Broker)
- Media (Journalists, Reporters, etc.)
- Netrunner (Hacker)
- Nomad (Street Fighter)
- Rockerboy (Rebels who primarily protest with music)
- Solo (Assassins, Bodyguards, etc.)
- Techie (Outlaw Technicians/Mechanics)
- Med-Tech (Street Doctors)
How exactly they will live in this world and how they will differ in gameplay remains to be seen.
There will also be a multiplayer mode. However, how this will turn out is also uncertain. By the way, more employees are working on Cyberpunk 2077 than on Witcher III. It is the largest project by CD Projekt RED so far.
Cyberpunk is set to be released on PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One at an unknown date.
CD Projekt RED even receives research funding for a new technology: Seamless Multiplayer.
