Cyberpunk 2077 News – Jan 10th, Taipei Game Show, New Merch & Johnny Has A Bomb?
Gameplay details that we can potentially extract from a new Jonny Silverhand product, January 10th, which is tomorrow and it’s significance in the history of Cyberpunk 2077 promotional material and what we can possibly see tomorrow, A ton of new Cyberpunk 2077 products that have yet to be shown and more are going to be discussed in todays Cyberpunk 2077 News video!
First we have why people are speculating that tomorrow, January 10th we might get something of significance from Cyberpunk 2077. We have the beep tweet from Cyberpunk 2077 pre e3 2018 after a 5 year hiatus from the Cyberpunk 2077 Teaser Trailer. This beep issued in the start of the brief marketing campaign for E3 2018 with the hacking off the conference and the in-game engine trailer. Now prior to this beep, there was the Teaser Trailer which was believe or not posted on January 10th of 2013. Not only this but the date within the trailer was actually January 10, 2077. Again this date just seems to have some sort of significance when it comes to marketing, and aligns with the marketing ramp up and maybe even the continuation of the ARG.
I want to make clear that this is 100% speculation, that CD PROJEKT RED will continue with January 10th being significant, so just temper your expectations for now.
Just as an aside we do have confirmation of Cyberpunk 2077 being at the Tapei game show in the month of February with Cyberpunk 2077 being on display. No information on whether it’s a hands on demo, or trailer or anything but, it’s at the very least something substantial. Hopefully this is something significant so mark that down in your calenders.
Next up we have some new screens of the Johnny Silverhand statue from the recently announced McFarlane Series of Toys with some interesting details. In this image, it features a new Pistol that we have yet to see in the game, which might be unique to Silverhand himself, as well as a dufflebag. Now the interesting thing is that the duffel-bag seems to house some sort of bomb. Obviously Silverhand has opposed Arasaka corp in the past for things done to his loved ones, namely Alt Cunningham, but in 2077 Silverhand is a hologram, or digital ghost. This implies he won’t be able to carry a physical bomb, so this might hint at a flashback scene from 2020. Let me know your theories below.
SideShow, which again we talked about last episode seems to have updated their site with their plans to make a silverhand and geralt statue. Now normally I wouldn’t be overly interested in action figures and statues, but looking at the sheer realism and unmatched detail in sideshows prior works makes me pretty enthusiastic about what they will come up with for both Cyberpunk and The Witcher. I just hope for your guys sakes its not in the thousand dollar range like some of the larger more detailed statues have been priced at.
Moving on we have even more Cyberpunk products featured in the GameStop store. This includes a Lizzy Wizzy Statue, a Night City Diorama, and a Cyberpunk 2077 mask and arm. There are no images as of yet, and some of their release dates seem to be months after release of the game, but I’m going to assume these are placeholder dates. They aren’t cheap either ranging from $59.99 to $99.99.
