Cyberpunk 2077 News – Daemons & Cyberdecks, 60 Perks, Religion & Keanu In What Game?!

In today’s Cyberpunk 2077 news video we will be going over a ton of new gameplay elements, The Bozo gang, Daemon Programs, Skills and Perks, Religion being involved and clarification on how it will be implemented, Keanu Reeves almost being cast in another game, pre order bonuses and more!

First up we have an interview around E3 from our good buddy Andre from NightCityLife a German Cyberpunk 2077 fan-site, who sat down with Miles Tost the Senior Level Designer at CD PROJEKT RED to talk specifically about Hacking.

The first question was about just how many things in the world of Night City we could hack. With the E3 demo including a large variety of environmental tech to hack like the weight training bench and the training bot, they wanted to find out if hacking things like phones, ATMs and billboards would be viable.

“If you want to hack an ATM, you first must find the access point, which controls the machine. Certain hardware can be instantly hacked, but only when it’s connected to the network and you will have to gain access to that first.”

Miles also references something akin to “Hacker mana” where to perform a certain hack you need to consume certain points.

While lethal and non-lethal hacks are part of the game, they are all tied to specific programs called Daemons which can be bought an installed into your cyberdeck.

Next up we have news that Keanu Reeves was almost cast in another triple A title coming out next year which may have impacted him even being in Cyberpunk 2077 as the snarky Rockerboy Johnny Silverhand.

Next up we have some more details from NightCityLife and Miles Tost. Now at this point we all know the Voodooboys are of Haitian descent and have taking refuge in Pacifica. We also have further details that they have moved to the US because Haiti is underwater due to global warming. The voodooboys of 2077 are not precisely the frat boy drug lord terrorists of 2020, and Miles Clarifies that this is 50 years in the future and it’s the same timeline but there is a lot going on with the Voodooboys.

Next we have a ton of details about Cyberpunk 2077 that we have yet to cover. We won’t go over repeated points from this article that I’ve made in previous videos so if you want even more details I suggest watching these 2 videos to catch you up to speed on all the gameplay mechanics and details from Cyberpunk 2077 we have learned recently.

Next we have some brief new details about Jackie Welles, our Hispanic companion we’ve come to love from the 2018 demo and 2019 CGI trailer. This is via a new cosplay guide where his bio is as follows. “As a teenager Jackie joined the Valentinos gang, but ditched it after a few years when his mother found out. He always wanted to be his own master so eventually settled on a career as a mercenary. Friendship, loyalty and family ties are what drives him. To Jackie, blood is always thicker than water. He’s a rock-solid, composed professional who respects other mercs. Eventually he wants to provide for his own family and live in luxury, but he’s getting impatient because this is still just an elusive dream.”

Honestly he sounds a total bro, and the part about him ditching the gang life because he was scared of getting an ass whoppin’ from his momma is pretty funny as well. Better be dodging those high velocity sandal rounds from Momma Welles.

Next we have some clarification on what exactly CD PROJEKT RED meant when they brought up the fact that religion will be present in the game.
