In today’s Cyberpunk 2077 news and details video we are talking about Jason schreier and his absolutely not 2019 release tweet and his follow up to that, A New cyberpunk Jacket, Cyberpunk red, the jumpstart kit and our first look at a new Cyberpunk red image, Jackie’s Romances For The Game, Steam Awards for CDPR and more!
In today’s news segment we first have some tweets from Jason Schriere who is a well known and respected games journalist. A week ago on May 29th in response to a tweet by a fan about a rumor of November 2019 release for a cyberpunk 2077, he responded with “There is absolutely no chance of Cyberpunk 2077 releasing in 2019”. The thing I found odd when it came to this response is not that it’s his belief that 2077 might come out in 2020, it’s the fact he made it an absolute. Okay he’s an insider with a ton of info, but I wasn’t buying the fact that he knew CONCRETELY that it was absolutely 2020 and so I voiced my opinion. Know I’m not hating on Jason at all, but he knows everything he says is going to be put under the microsope because he is well respected, so he could have for sure used “It is my firm belief” Or “Its been strongly hinted to me” that 2077 will come out in 2020 instead of an absolute.
I got shredded in some comments, but honestly I don’t really care and he did clarify what he meant after the fact with a backpedal tweet where he clarified what he actually meant.
Next we have a new Cyberpunk styled jacket given to some of the developmental team for their work within CD PROJEKT RED. Delgapas Salazar a 3D environmental artist for CD PROJEKT RED and presumably some others were gifted with this fresh Cyberpunk jacket, with some interesting patches on it. One is for the CD PROJEKT RED team, and we also have the Night City heat patch we’ve seen on the new Male V model as well from a couple weeks ago. It also looks like there might be a samurai logo on here as well but we can’t really see it. In any case, it’s a nice little perk for developers for their hard work in making games.
Next up we have some Cyberpunk Red details from RTalsorian games. This information partially came from our Cyberpunk 2077 community Podcast, and partially came later from RTalsorian. Now in the podcast JGray the media ambassador for RTalsorian games who makes the source material of Cyberpunk 2077 in Cyberpunk 2020 and Cyberpunk Red, mentioned that the August 1st GenCon date had been pushed back and they instead would be releasing the Cyberpunk Red Jumpstart kit. The Kit which we later found out will retail at 29.99 and will feature “essential rules, world lore, pre-generated characters, an adventure, screamsheets, dice and more. Everything needed to play right out of the box for people curious about the game and the world. JGray also promoted a new Cyberpunk Red commissioned art piece, which looks pretty awesome.
Next we have a small little detail about the universe when it comes to Jackie’s love interests in the demo last year and in the game as a whole. Lilayah community manager of CD PROJEKT RED had this to say in a reddit thread speculating about Jackie and Female V being romantically involved, where she mentions Jacki already has a girlfriend. A user asks if it is Misty, DR Viktors receptionist to which we get a cryptic winky face answer.
Next we have CD PROJEKT RED receiving their steam awards they’ve won, so head on over to twitter to congratulate them on some well deserved hardware. Im willing to bet this is the first of many if Cyberpunk 2077 and their prospective future games perform well.
Finally we have some Countdown to the dark future details which we haven’t touched on in quite some time. I’m going to highlight the best episodes which feature the Cyberpunk lore and source material of RTalsorians Cyberpunk 2020 which heavily influences CD PROJEKT RED’s 2077.
Last week was vehicles, but this week is the nomad movement something I’ve been curious about for some time and have been recently asking JGray some questions about this so it came at a perfect time.
In episode 156 we learn that during The Collapse, tens of millions of united states citizens were displaced for a variety of reasons, and that some who were displaced became Nomads and developed a vibrant lifestyle centred around a mobile lifestyle. In 2020 there were an estimated 7 million Nomads roaming around north America, and made use of themselves in construction contracts, as couriers and travelling entertainment.
In episode 157 we learn that Nomads follow a code which reads as follows. Protect and respect your clan, and above all your family. Your word is your bond. Share with your clanfolk. Respect the privacy and property of your clan. Never cause trouble for your clan. Take only a fair wage for a day’s work.
