Cyberpunk 2077 – Frequently Asked Questions! (FAQ!)

In Todays Cyberpunk 2077 video we are going to be answering some of Cyberpunk 2077’s most frequently asked questions, regarding release dates, microtransactions, ciri, 3rd person, sex and relationships, cyber-gwent + mini games & more.
These will give you the scoop and hopefully some clarity about CD PROJEKT RED’s new title Cyberpunk 2077 and hopefully some answers to this FAQ.

As always with the nature of a WIP games, these are subject to change at the discretion of CD PROJEKT RED.

First up we have Release dates and pre orders. There seems to be some confusion about both of these currently, with online retailers like amazon having release dates, and even places like gamestop having cases with Cyberpunk 2077 covers, usually without official cover art. Any release date out there as of now, is a placeholder, used to stimulate pre order sales from that specific online vendor. I know amazon has a release date of DEC 31, 2019, and there is the option to pre order. There is no official release date as of yet, and there are no official pre orders, so be cautious about pre – ordering from online vendors, who are just using these dates to stimulate their own sales.

Next up we have 3rd person perspective. This is probably one of the most asked questions, in my comments section so I thought I would address this. CD PROJEKT RED has stated that they have no plans currently for 3rdperson. Dialogue options will be in first person as well, and the only times we will be able to experience a 3rdperson perspective will be in cutscenes, or as an option with driving. Photo mode will also be coming with Cyberpunk 2077, so you will be able to see your character and their clothes and cyberware more regularly if you utilize this feature.

Get used to 2077 being a First person title, or re-think your purchase as CD PROJEKT RED is firm in their stance on this.

Another popular question is if we will be able to play the entire story mode without adding any cybernetics or cyberware to our characters, and if we will be able to play the entire game without killing any enemies in the same vein as what Deus Ex has offered in the past. Now the amount of times this question has popped up has kind of surprised me as I figured Cyberware is one of the most compelling aspects of playing the game with all the different upgradability paths, but unfortunately you will need BASIC AUGMENTATIONS AND CYBERWARE to progress through the story.
Now whether this means that we only need what was shown to us in the gameplay demo in the weapon grip and optic and nothing more is to be seen, but do not expect to go into Cyberpunk 2077, in the hopes of completing it as a 100% organic human. You will also have to do some killing along the way, so no 100% pacificst playthroughs. When it comes to over-doing cyberware we won’t be able to induce CYberpsychosis with our own personal characters, meaning no cyberpsycho play throughs either.

Next up is if CIri will make an appearance in Cyberpunk 2077. Now if you’ve played the Witcher 3, youll know CIri was in hiding from the Wild Hunt in another dimension. When she comes back and links up with Geralt, she mentions a world where quote “people had metal in their heads, waged war from a distance, using things similar to megascopes” and where everyone had “their own flying ships”, which seems to be a reference to Cyberpunk 2077’s Night City.
Now this got fans into wondering if Ciri will appear in the game, but CD PROJEKT RED are highly against it. Ciri will not be in Cyberpunk 2077 in that sense, but maybe a super hidden easter egg is in the cards. Just don’t expect her out in the open or in the game at all. They are developing a new universe, and with that, they are completely leaving their prior universe in The Witcher behind when it comes to developing the world of Cyberpunk.

Another popular question is just how big Night City is. Now CD PROJEKT RED has addressed this in obviously the city having 6 districts, and mentioning it wont be as horizontally large as The Witcher. The density of all activities in 2077 will be in multiple floor megabuldings. Now vertically, it’s the most expansive game they’ve made. For those worried, CD PROJEKT RED has stated it will feel like a real city, not a miniature one. Now like mentioned before the world can be vertically huge upwards and downwards which hints at underground areas. On a side note the world will have a full day and night cycle, with weather patterns including polluted smog and acid rain.
