In today’s Cyberpunk 2077 and Cyberpunk 2077 News we have yet another densely filled News episode for you guys including details about 3 Cyberpunk games in development for CD PROJEKT RED and clarification on exactly what that means, Refused as the in-game band Samurai, the full release of Chippin In by CD PROJEKT RED and the Samurai EP details, a full analysis of new screenshots from a German Magazine , Cyberpunk 2077’s prologues and how they are connected to lifepath choices, A Cyberpunk 2077 movie possibility, romance and sex options in Night City and much much more!
First we have new details via a Polish economics website called Bankier.pl writing about a CD PROJEKT RED meeting or conference where we learn about future Cyberpunk titles. Now earlier in the week it was largely reported on from a Google translate version of this Bankier Article that CD PROJEKT RED was currently developing 3 Cyberpunk projects including Cyberpunk 2077.
This information comes directly from CDPR president Adam Kicinski who mentions that there are 3 teams working on Cyberpunk “Things – the main game and two more projects.”
Piotr Nielubowicz also stated “Our next big project will also be in the Cyberpunk universe, and we’re already working on it and treating it as a really big and innovative project for us.”
CD PROJEKT RED recently clarified to the media after the Bankier article saying that they have 5 teams in total with 3 focused on the development of Cyberpunk 2077, one for gwent and one for an unannounced mobile title in conjunction with Spokko. “These include CD PROJEKT RED Warsaw and Krakow handling the main game of Cyberpunk 2077, and the Wroclaw studio where there are 40 industry specialists engaged in research and development.”
Wroclaw is most likely for the Multiplayer component to Cyberpunk which may come out post launch.
Just as a final note, Kicinski also mentions in that the beginning of 2020 we will get a strong does of Cyberpunk information and that industry journalists will already be playing it and writing about it.
Next we have some details on the Music of Samurai a legendary rock band in the Cyberpunk Universe lead by Johnny Silverhand. CD PROJEKT RED released their updated version of Chippin In by Samurai who will be represented by the sounds of Swedish rock band Refused. This Chippin In version really represents the aggression of chromatic rock much better.
Further details from Marcin Pryzbylowicz state that the Samurai EP will feature songs such as Black Dog and Never Fade Away from the lore as well as songs exclusively created for Cyberpunk 2077.
Next we have a new screenshot via GamePro.de magazine from Germany. In this screenshot we see the arm of V breaking through the rubble of a seemingly deserted area of the outskirts of the city much like what we saw in the ending to the E3 2019 CGI trailer.
Moving onto the image itself we have a Militech revolver which we we can see being used by Male V in the cover art and by Dexter Deshawn in the CGI trailer. The figure looks like what Morgan Blackhand, one of the best Solos from 2020 lore would look like with his signature trenchcoat. If we zoom in, this could be blackhand based on a redesign.
Next up we have details of 3 separate prologues for the game based on the Lifepath options we pick at the beginning. In details from Pawel sasko he mentions that “The player in Cyberpunk 2077 can create a custom character that has one of three origin stories, that we call lifepaths: you can be Nomad, Corpo or Street Kid. Each of the Lifepaths have a different starting location and story background that are strongly connected with the origin story. Anything more I say can reveal too much from the story, so I will leave it like this.” We also know from previous statements that our outfits will be different based on our Life path options.
Next we have details about romances, sex, NPC and getting friendzoned in Night City. Again from lead designer Pawel Sasko we learn a little bit more about how relationships have the potential to unfold. Pawel says NPCs will have their own goals, motivations and needs and thus there will be scenarios where NPCs will choose a friendship over a relationship.
He goes on to mentions that some relationships will be hard to cultivate and that NPCs will have some preferences that are impossible to change which leads to characters feeling genuine and real.
Next we have some weapon customization details. Mateus Tomaszkiewicz spoke to GamingBolt where he said that you can customize your weapons in a variety of ways including scopes and silencers and specific weapons will have a certain amount of slots for these.
Moving on we have some details about the nature of Cyberpunk and Cyberpunk 2077 from the man himself Mike Pondsmith. In some recent articles he dives into the expansiveness of the world, the politics of Cyberpunk and the potential for a Hollywood movie for Cyberpunk.
