In Today ‘s Cyberpunk 2077 News, we’ll be going over the latest ARG details, Cosplay contest finalists, what to expect in 2020 and much more!
Before we start, I’d like to take this opportunity to thank CD PROJEKT RED for including me in their official ARG project. As someone who has been on YouTube for just over a year, it’s an honor to be directly involved in this, and I know the other creators who also took part share the same sentiments. It was a really cool opportunity for us to engage each of our communities in a unique way as well, and so again thank you CD PROJEKT RED and those involved for the care package and the ARG clues to stream. If you guys are unaware, CDPR reached out to Me, Last known meal, Madqueen and Triple S league as well as two larger creators to help with the Alternate Reality Game for Cyberpunk 2077, a kind of covert marketing campaign where additional game details and prizes are unlocked via solving complex online puzzles. We each streamed us opening 1 of the 4 clues with the culmination of all 4 clues happening in the Triple S Leagues stream where the GameDetectives, a notoriously fast ARG busting community solved the puzzle right as the stream was about to wrap up.
Shoutout to the whole community of ARGers on the GameDetectives server, the guys who were on the stream, and the collaboration from these fine gentlemen in the chat who cracked the final clue with some impressive methodologies. There is a write up for those interested in seeing how the puzzle was cracked via Dystakruul, who was integral in solving the puzzle, and there will be a link in the description. There will also be a summary by the Triple S League or possibly JuiceHead, so when it does come out, or if it already has check the description for that as well. Overall this was really fun, and according to Lilayah this leg of the ARG is now complete but will begin again in early 2020 so keep an eye out for that.
I know I’ve seen quite a few comments on my videos of some of you either applying at CDPR, or wanting to know details on jobs, or even developers like CDPR being the inevitable goal for those still in school. My advice here would be to keep an eye out for listings, and if you have the appropriate skills, internship and general job opportunities are popping up all the time and I’ll put a priority on sharing any opportunities I learn bout with you guys in the new year. Thank you to the gentleman who sent out this message, its cool to be recognized as an influence in getting a job and good luck to all those in intern positions within the company.
Moving on we have some Cosplay Finalist details. Here’s a brief overview of the finalists shared via the Cyberpunk 2077 twitter page. There are a ton of amazing Cosplays here, so whoever is judging this is going to have their work cut out for them. My favorites currently are the Lizzy Wizzy, Trauma Team and Royce cosplays, but realistically I think any of these guys can win. Stay tuned in the new year for progressions on that front.
We also have some more Cyberpunk 2077 products being announced in the form of figurines. Now there are two different companies currently working on figurines at the moment that I’m aware of, one being Totaku and the other being McFarlane. I’m not going to lie, this is not really something I’m overly interested in, but it just goes to show you how widespread this franchise is looking to be. From books, to figurines to board and card games Cyberpunk 2077 is going to have a huge market impact, and not only in the form of the actual video game. The McFarlane ones are pretty great so far and feature our first look at the Katana in game on the Male V action figure. Silverhand also looks quite good in the McFarlane series. I do truly hope they fix the faces of the Totaku prototypes though. They look pretty bad and I’m probably going to have nightmares from them.
Next up we have a quick overlay of the map from the 4AEM cyberpunk 2077 music video, with the world of Cyberpunk 2077 collector’s edition. Seems to fit perfectly and is slightly more detailed with a tad bit more depth to Night City.
