New official Gang Logo images, A Cyberpunk 2077 PC modding contest, some hints into seeing the Bozos, an insane clown gang in 2077, CDPR setting a new record, Gang logos & more all in today’s Cyberpunk 2077 news video!
First up let’s jump into the new PC modding contest announced by CDPR yesterday morning. This is a contest where you can design the Cyberpunk 2077 PC case of your dreams, and five professional case modding teams will make the best entries come to life.
Megacorporation logo, and on the main contest page, CDPR has attached these assets. We get to see updated looks at the logos of the gangs we have already seen, and some that we haven’t as of yet.
First up we have the logos for a new gang we haven’t seen yet called “6th street”, we have the muscled up juiceheads from Pacifica, the Animals, we have the body mod obsessed Maelstrom from Watson, we have the Moxes, which seem to sport the Lizzy Wizzy logo and might be related to The Lizzies somehow, we have the Arasaka backed Tyger Claws, from Japantown, The womanizing seduction specialists the Valentinos, and the Haitian hacker-extraordinares the Voodooboys from the Pacifica district.
These are all fantastic and I cannot wait to see some of these new gangs in game. Keep in mind these are only the main gangs, and there will be sub gangs and factions prowling night city as well.
Now speaking of Gangs, as you guys know RTalsorian the company who has licensed the Cyberpunk IP to CDPR, has been making a lot of Cyberpunk Red miniatures as of late in collaboration with monster fight club. Cyberpunk Red is a tabletop primer to 2077, and so it gives us a ton of hints about whats to come in Cyberpunk 2077.
The Bozos a killer clown gang from the lore, seems to be one of the most requested gangs in 2077, and here we see a couple miniatures from the Cyberpunk Red series which leads me to believe we will see these in the video game adaptation. First we have this more traditional penny-wise looking clown, and this augmented really colorful clown with what seems to be a squirtgun. Yes squirtguns are also in the lore, and they are typically filled with drugs, so I’d imagine this will go nicely with the Mr Studd augment for those who want to mess around and make their playthroughs a little more meme-friendly.
Moving on, check out this Cyberpunk soundtrack snippet featuring Mr Rubin who I believe was or still is the drummer for Nine Inch Nails. If this is any indication of the more punky, rock tracks in 2077 I’ll be pretty pleased.
Next up, check out some of this dedication to what seemed to be a leak of what is essentially Cyberpunk 2077’s Disneyland equivalent being built in Poland to support the game and CDPR. NightCityLife, german fan-site for Cyberpunk painstakingly set up this incredibly elaborate April Fools prank.
This fabricated leak featured tentative plans for CD PROJEKT to open a Cyberpunk 2077 nightclub in Warsaw which included a game café, a disco bar and a shopping arcade.
There were concept art pictures drafted up and a ton of promotional images and supposed evidence on socials that were absolutely amazing. Just look at this concept art, and some of these drink label designs. This was all called the Red Diamond, with the Game café modelling a netrunner themed coffeeshop, The Atlantis bar and disco, and merch via vendors in a remodeled section of Night City. There were a ton of people in on this, and I got to say, It was very convincing. Although, I’m not sure how popular a bar and disco would be amongst the gamer demographic, which kind of put a pin in this for me personally.
Incredibly well-done April Fools nonetheless, but let me know if you guys would enjoy something like this in the real world or even elements of this prank in the game. SOulkiller polish craft eer and blackhand whiskey sounds pretty awesome to me.
A developer Q&A where details on Cyberpunk 2077, E3 2020, ESRB and PEGI Ratings, Review Copies, and a brief timeline of the future of CD PROJEKT RED and both the Witcher and Cyberpunk franchises are going to be discussed in today’s Cyberpunk 2077 News video!
In a recent meeting with journalists, CD PROJEKT’s Adam Kicinski took the opportunity to highlight some standout points about Cyberpunk, CD PROJEKT Red and their future plans.
First, he mentions that Cyberpunk is still on-track for a September release and has now been submitted to age rating agencies in PEGI and ESRB. This will be the first-time people outside of the studio will get a chance to play the game, and this process of giving the game a rating typically takes around a month. Whilst the copy of the game being sent out is not the final version, it is complete enough to be sent out to third parties, at least for a rating designation. Just like with The Witcher series CDPR are aiming for a mature or 18+ rating for Cyberpunk 2077.
Echoing this sentiment, Adam Badowski took to twitter to mention that they were pushing the game for its ratings, that as they continue to playtest and debug, and 2077 is looking better and better every day.
Kicinski mentions that the game is huge and that with the new deadline there is more breathing room to operate. He also mentions that there is much less work after hours, although some do still work quite hard.
Preorder wise, Cyberpunk 2077 has sold more preorders than The Witcher 3 assuming the same period of time.
Kicinski also mentions that reviewers will get a specially protected version of the game a few weeks before it’s premiere and that the embargo will last up until the weekend before the release date. No details on at what capacity review copies are being issued, but as it stands right now that is still quite far away.
In a statement about E3 2020 and the state of the world Kicinski mentions that if events are canceled, they will show things through the power of the internet. With E3 2020 now being cancelled, this means that digital content drops during the same time windows as what they had initially planned for E3 2020 is likely.
When it comes to the marketing of Cyberpunk, Vice President Piotr Nielubowicz mentions that this will be heavily weighted in the few weeks before release.
When it comes to The Witcher, Kicinski mentions that there would be no Witcher 4 and that that particular arc would remain a trilogy. At the same time, he mentions that they do still want to do Witcher games, and their settlement with Andre Sapkowski confirms this.
Adam Kicinski also mentions that after the launch of Cyberpunk 2077, that they want to do a little more in the studio and produce 2 to 3 games at a time, but it will take a couple of years before they are ready for this.
Elaborating he mentions that the company wants to have two large teams that produce games.
As for the near future the largest team in CDPR will be implementing the online multiplayer Cyberpunk game, the next big team will be responsible for Cyberpunk DLC, and the third team will be dealing with the next single AAA game, which they have a concept for. The third team would be the smallest from the outset but would grow as the project advances.
The timeline would look as follows. Cyberpunk 2077 releases, then DLC and expansions would come next, followed by the Multiplayer element in 2022. After this there would be a 4 to 5-year dev cycle where the next Triple A RPG would release.
Now although not explicitly stated the assumption here is that this will be a new game in the Witcher universe. Badowski has also taken to Twitter to mention that The Witcher is still on their minds but they are not ready to talk about any other projects. Furthermore, they have talked about the dual franchise model of The Witcher and Cyberpunk going forward, with a potential staggering of releases of these two franchises, but keep in mind it has yet to be confirmed.
I also want to mention that there are a few scam sites trying to piggyback off the hype of Cyberpunk 2077, so be very cautious about this. Early keys are not being issued, and although this site looks legit it is not so just be wary.
In today’s Cyberpunk 2077 News we have insane Cosplays, a ton of Collectors Edition news, Photo mode, new screenshots, hints about the game from promotional material and CDPR store products giving us insight into the diverse metropolis of Night City.
