Cyberpunk 2077 News – Drunk Driving, Crucifixion, Genital Customization & Night City Wire Event!

Confirmation on a Cyberpunk 2077 Event where the game will be shown, an ESRB ratings summary which talks about some insane gameplay details, a massive new Cyberpunk fan film we have talked about in the past releasing a teaser, amongst a other tidbits from around the web about the world of Cyberpunk 2077 all in today’s Cyberpunk 2077 News update!

First up let’s talk about a tweet sent out by the Cyberpunk 2077 twitter on May 5th, with the caption simply stating GET READY with a tv emoji, showcasing a brand-new event for Cyberpunk 2077 called The Night City Wire. In around a month we will be getting some concrete details on Cyberpunk 2077, and CDPR have heavily hinted at it being a look at gameplay. My first initial thought was that this could be an in-game TV station giving us a peak into the world. Very excited for this and devs have been hyping this up as only the tip of the iceberg as well as again hinting at a big reveal of some sort. You definitely want to check this out, and I’ll be streaming this whole event with the Neon nation so make sure you pop in for that one.

CDPR also continued their lore series with the Voodoo Boys, a gang that we have seen in Pacifica. According to their description they are an enigmatic gang from Pacifica and aren’t just netrunners devoted to uncovering the secrets of the old net behind the Blackwall. They are also edgerunners: breaking every rule there is to break, and programming viruses that can freeze neural networks.

I know a lot of you guys absolutely love the Voodoo boys but drop a comment a let me know what you think your favorite gang is going to be based on these twitter lore snippets.
Moving on we finally have a concrete rating from ESRB after the Brazilian and Australian ratings were leaked and dropped, and surprise surprise, Cyberpunk 2077 received a Mature rating for blood and gore, intense violence, nudity, strong language, strong sexual content and use of drugs and alcohol. Going over the ratings summary, we have some very very interesting details.

The summary starts off by getting the generic out of the way with “Players will be able to explore futuristic locations, interact with citizens, perform missions and engage in combat to complete various objectives within a storyline. Characters use handguns, machine guns, rifles and explosives during frenetic firefights with humans and cybernetically enhanced enemies. Players can also use melee weapons like wrist-mounted blades and enhanced limbs to stab enemies and in some cases dismember them. Some locations depict mutilated corpses with open chest cavities and or exposed organs.”

This is where is gets interesting. It goes on to say that “During one quest, players assist a character by hammer nails through his hands and feet: screaming sounds and blood effects accompany the scene.”
I don’t know about you guys but that sounds a lot like a crucifixion to me, which is a particularly brutal way to torture someone. Cyberpunk 2077 seems to not hold any punches here.

“Players can encounter events where they have the option to engage in sexual activities from a first-person perspective. Since I’ve been getting a ton of questions for those of you who play games in front of your kids, or who have concerned parents, yea you can skip these sequences just like in the Witcher 3.

Continuing in with the summary “Players can select a gender and customize their character. Customization includes the breasts, buttocks and genitalia, as well as various sizes and combinations of genitals. This is what cyberpunk is all about, what it means to be human and the augmentation of the body.

I think it’s pretty funny how this was talked about a while ago, and there was a ton of outrage, but as soon as you make it meme-worthy or use terms like pp and cyberdong it suddenly all good.

Anyways moving on the report then mentions that “the game contains frequent depictions and references to fictional drugs, including characters taking state altering inhalers, and there is an animated billboard with a man snorting speed. Sequences allow the player to drink alcohol until the screen distorts, and characters can drive drunk.”

Moving on we’ve been following Maul Cosplay’s 2077 fan film for a while now, and him and Vi-Dan-Tran have finally released a Teaser for the flick. It’s got a surprisingly high production quality here so check out this trailer if you have not yet.

Finally, I’ll leave you with this tweet from Senior Quest Designer Phillip Webber to keep your personal hype train chugging.
