In Today’s Cyberpunk 2077 video we are going over everything you need to know about E3 2019 that we currently know going into it, from facts, to rumours and leaks. This is obviously going to be hyper specific to CD PROJEKT RED and Cyberpunk 2077. CD PROJEKT RED has claimed their biggest E3 ever, and how can you not when you have a massive poster like this enticing E3 attendees in LA, so let’s get into what we know about E3 2019 thus far.
Let’s start with June 9th where we will most likely see a Cyberpunk 2077 showcase or presentation of some sort at Microsoft’s E3 briefing. Rumors and speculation is a gameplay and or CGI trailer of some sort, gameplay showcased, and a possible release date. This showcase will likely be longer than what we saw last year with just the minute and a half E3 trailer at the end.
A NeoGaf user who claims to be an insider also mentions a gameplay trailer, a progress update on the game and a tentative release window. If you guys want something fun to do during this conference check out our friend NightCityLife’s E3 2019 Bingo card for Cyberpunk 2077 and play along.
Earlier yesterday we saw our first leak of what could be the collectors edition that could possibly be announced at E3 with this image online. In the original post the user says A friend of mine sent this to me over Discord. It’s in Polish which is why the logo on the bottom-right is CD Projekt instead of Warner Bros as CDP are publishing the game in their homeland of Poland. This looks really well done to be a fake especially the little Night City postcard render and the artbook cover. The fact that they’ve got this ready to go makes me wonder if we’ll be seeing a release date for 2020 at the Microsoft Presser. What do you think, Era?
Some users speculated that it might be a fake or a standard edition instead of a CE and put it next to a Witcher 3 standard edition, which it looked very similar content wise to. The “collectors edition” leak has been debunked by CDPR community manager Lilayah as not being a collector’s edition, but it still could potentially be a standard or middle tier version. There was also an image of a big box leaked online featuring Cyberpunk 2077 but the concensus seems to be it being a press kit or promo display materials for a game store post E3 since the background seems to look like a Gamestop or EB Games.
When it comes to the on floor event for attendees at E3 CD PROJEKT RED has confirmed that they will have a public showcase for the first time. They are partnering with Warner Bros their North American Distributor for a Cyberpunk 2077 public showcase where people at the event will be able to check out the game, being played by CDPR staff in the (South exhibit Hall?). There is also a private demo in the business area, which will be on hour long and will be shown off to influencers and media, but again not playable as staff will be guiding the demo. These events will not be streamed live or uploaded after the fact.
So what’s the difference between the public and private demo? The private demo is likely longer than the public demo but other than that CDPR can obviously not tell us at the moment. They are both held in theatres however. I found some images on twitter from CDPR reps and employees that have shown off what these booths could look like and they feature a really awesome samurai design. They are also sporting the employee jackets which seem to be reversible from the last news video we were speaking on.
Now for us at home, CDPR has also said there will be surprises and content for us as well and that we should not worry and that we won’t be disappointed. The game has become Quite Different than last years demo and this is likely due to them fully fleshing out some of their Work in progress mechanics and designs.
Now moving onto June 12th we have 2 notable CD PROJEKT RED and Cyberpunk 2077 events, that you guys are going to want to participate in or keep your eyes on.
First we have co founder and jouint CEO of CD PROJEKT RED Marcin Iwinski at the E3 coliseum with Geoff Knightley to hold an event called the past present and future of CD PROJEKT RED. If you guys remember last year Kyle Rowley and Miles Tost were on the Coliseum. The presentation will last 30 minutes and we will most definitely get some more in depth answers than last year about the game where they were incredibly vague and couldn’t answer anything other than rudimentary questions.
Next we have a Developer Q&A via Tumblr. As far as I know you need a Tumblr account to ask questions and I’m not quite sure why they chose Tumblr, but hey if you guys want your questions answered go ask them here. Also please look at official FAQs and videos before you ask questions because I know there will be a ton of questions they’ve answered time and time again, especially if you guys are just learning about 2077 to go check out some resources, videos, FAQs before you ask via this platform.
