Although the customization of Cyberpunk 2077 isn’t the greatest, I know a ton of people want all the collectibles and unique items in their place to give it a more lived in feeling, so here are all the quests and methods to obtain them!

PureArts is known for its incredibly detailed sculpts and high-quality paint applications, but this ground-breaking release pushes the boundaries of collectible statues and includes a complete media experience!

First up check out this new wallpaper tweeted out by CD PROJEKT RED. It shows Arasaka forces sieging a metro station stop, with V and his buddy in the foreground tuning out the white noise. Now I’ve showcased this before, when it was on the cover of PCGamer but now you can have this as a wallpaper. The size of the map has seemed to increase since the intial 2018 E3 trailer, notably in the north and the south. Also check out the Arasaka riot troops that we saw in the 4AM Grimes music video.

Next up we have a new promotional image from Sideshow, which is making high quality statues of Silverhand and V for Cyberpunk 2077. In this image, we see what appears to be an in-game screenshot of the Arasaka Waterfront. This is a location that seems to be dominated by Arasaka in the north of the map near Watson according to the metro map we have seen in the past.

Speaking of the statue this promotional ad is for, check out this new image of Sideshows Male and Female V with the Yaiba Kusanagi. Preorders of this come with a nice little Spiderbot statue, but at 800 dollars for the combo of both male and female v, this is most definitely for the most hardcore collectors.

Next we have a podcast featuring CDPR developers, Miles Tost and Philip Webber about the development of Cyberpunk and how things have changed since shifting to remote work.

First Miles and Philip mention that in shifting from office to home, there was a massive IT delivery service where over night hundreds of cars brought PCs to peoples homes, and that they could start work 2 hours after it was brought home.

The way they work on the game and assets haven’t changed much. They use a VPN to connect to the main data server and can download the stuff they want. If parts of the game get changed, members can check in to that content and others will notice.

Nearly every hour the system directly transforms the development version into the playable version of the game.

Miles Tost mentions that that some changes are really small and mentions an elevator bug where it did not stop where it was supposed to.
The fact that they are isolated means that they can no longer visit media offices with preview builds. They actually carried the game with a specific PC in a code locked briefcase, and the hard drive and the game was also password protected.

Moving on we have some updates to the IMDB page for Cyberpunk 2077, where information is typically fact checked to a certain standard before its posted. Recently some changes were made where it now shows Jacek Rozenek as being rumored to voice geralt in the game. Obviously Dock Cockle voiced Geralt in the English Witcher games and Rozenek was Geralts voice in the polish versions, so maybe there’s the potential for a polish easter egg here, or he’s doing the polish dubbing of a separate character.

Not only this but we have mentioned Doctor Paradox in a prior episode and made note that this was not a character I thought was in the lore. I did some more research and stumbled upon this countdown to the dark future episode where doctor paradox was mentioned as a big conspiracy media character.
In the dark future episode it mentions that “one of the longest running underground screamsheets before the 4th corporate war hit, doctor paradox’s mysteries printed or displayed as a collection of barely coherent rantings, post-modern poetry, and purposefully disturbing images designed to shake up the masses.
By 2020 Doctor Paradox began heavily promoting conspiracy theories, including a government plot to turn everyone into zombies with the help of an insane AI.

We also have some new Cyberpunk Red minis. Now as you know Mike Pondsmith will be in Cyberpunk 2077, and despite many thinking he is Dexter Deshawn this is not the case. With that being said we have a huge hint into what he could play, as RTalsorian revealed a Maximum Mike Cyberpunk red minature.

This is a big big hint of what Pondsmith’s role will be in game, as Rtalsorian and CDPR try to streamline the lore and characters between mediums.
The description of Mike is as follows “One of the old survivors of the NCPD still on the job, Maximum Mike tries to play by the book, enforcing the law and rooting out corruption. But he knows the law has its limits, so he’ll do what he has to to protect the innocent. When facing down the cities worst, his cyber-mastiff, max is always at his side.

This might put a pin in Mike lending his voice to his original character morgan blackhand as well.

First up in today’s news we have Cyberpunk 2077 and CD PROJEKT RED honoring international womens day by posting this new image of Female V. This is the Female V which will share the cover of Cyberpunk 2077 along with this variant of Male V, as the cover, if you are getting the game physically will be reversible. I know a ton of people have been asking me where’s the love for Female V, so here you have it. Now this model of Female V is slightly different than what we saw in the first 48-minute demo, and she does look significantly more badass in my opinion. In fact, her scowl kind of makes her more intimidating than the Male V version of the cover. Her hair is slightly lighter, her skin is slightly darker, and she has more piercings which can be seen on her ear and lip. We first saw this variant of Female V in PureArts statue, and we can kind of get a better look at what she looks like.

Speaking of Twitter out friends at the Triple S League did partake in sharing the love and got official confirmation of Cherami Leigh being the voice of Female V. Whilst we know Gavin Drea is the Male V it was never explicitly confirmed that Cherami was the Female version. Now we definitely know for sure.

Voice acting is something we talked a bit about in our Cyberpunk 2077 Community Podcast, and visiting the official IMDB page, whose roster has to be factually verified from inside the studio as far as I’m aware, we see both Cherami Leigh and Gavin Drea, alongside Micheal-Leon Wooley as Dex, Grimes as Lizzy Wizzy, Jason Hightower as Jackie and of course Keanu Reeves as Johnny Silverhand. We do see some very interesting details here however including a character named Vazquez voiced by Dar Dash, Mark Holden voicing Doctor Paradox, as well as Ronan Favereau voicing what possibly could be a couple characters in the world as well. It’s not known who those characters are at the moment, but this is potentially exciting in getting to know new faces on the streets of Night City.

Moving on we have an incredible new statue from again PureArts featuring Male V, This statue which will retail at 230 bucks features hand painted limbs with a real LED blue light up color, real LEDs on the soles of the shoes, as well as the Militech Lexington pistol, and Constitutional Arms Defender weapons, both which we’ve already seen. We also have a Mantis blade arm with an unusually long blade.

I know you guys are eagerly waiting for some monumental Cyberpunk news, but it seems like we are still in for a bit of a tease after Quest Designer Philip Webber hinted at the quality of his colleagues Cyberpunk 2077 quests. He seems to be loving it to bits and other Reds have chimed in praising Weber’s own work in the quest department as well.

Moving on we have Cyberpunk Red revealing their tentative cover Art for the full release of their world book. This tabletop RPG primer to 2077 is slated for a prospective release in June, and we are starting to get more significant information on it. This cover shows the world of Night City during its resurgence after 2020, and we have some interesting details here. Notice how the main character looks similar to V, which seems to be a popular cyberpunk look for female characters. We also have some of the megacorporations in the back including the trauma team, zetatech and biotechnica as well as what could be an earlier evolution of the Yaiba Kusanagi. I asked J Gray media ambassador of RTalsorian what the phrase on the jacket was to which he responded with “And Hell Followed With Her.”

We do also have some new Cyberpunk Red miniatures coming out to help you role play any pre-generated characters for your tabletop sessions.

Moving on we have the potential for a NoClip Cyberpunk documentary. If you guys are unaware NoClip does amazing crowd funded documentaries, which has included their epic Witcher 3 series of videos. If you haven’t seen them, I will link it in the pinned comment because it is a must watch. In any case Danny O’Dwyer who runs the NoClip channel, held a Q&A where he was asked about Cyberpunk 2077 and a potential doc featuring them. While not ruling it out, he mentions that they are incredibly busy right now and that they typically approach studios after their big titles or games have been released. Expect this to happen in the future, and I hope it is as extensive and deep as some of their other documentaries.

So first up we have news from the pre Cyberpunk 2077 E3 trailer era with some insider Cyberpunk information and rumors acquired by GameRant via GamePressure. In these rumors it was noted by an insider, that “Cyberpunk 2077 will allow players to visit the moon for a fragment of the game”. Now this article went on to mention things about E3 that were true including the fact that CD Projekt red was transitioning to a purely first person perspective after promising a first person / third person hybridized game . Polish Publication GRYOnline also mentioned how Cyberpunk 2077 would have a significant presence at E3 with a trailer, and a playable demo, which GamePressure echoed but later added the fact that the gameplay demo would only be for journalists. At E3 these rumors became known as legitimate facts. The only thing that wasn’t confirmed was the moon mission and space travel sections, but based on what we’ve seen we can say that piece of information, which was in the pool with all the other right predictions, is probably factual as well. In the E3 trailer we can see a low orbit spaceship in this particular scene as we look out the windows and see space and the topography and curvature of the earth, as well as seeing Orbital air in the gameplay demo. Orbital air is a megacorporation originating from Nairobi Kenya that specializes in cargo and passenger transport to earth orbit, and maintanence of commenrcial orbital facilities. We can see that these people, on what seems to be an Orbital air flight, are involved in passenger transport.
Next up we have rumors from again, pre E3 times where a cyberpunk 2077 online multiplayer leak was floating around. In this leak obtained by Triple S League in conjunction with The Mad Queen it was noted that Cyberpunk 2077’s online element which is currently in research and development and being outsourced to Vancouver Based Developer Digital Scapes, would be a large social hub. IN the context of the lore, this makes sense as The AfterLife in the world of Cyberpunk is a bar where mercenaries and fixers congregate. The player, who plays as mercenary V, can take part in mini games and social interactions via the social hub. These job listings were used for scouting out developers and employees precisely focused on “Seamless Multiplayer Design”. This job listing description includes comprehensive technology that enables the creation of unique gameplay for Many players, taking into account the search of opponents, session management, replication facilities and support of a variety of game modes. CD Projekt Red has also tacked on developer Strange New Things in a studio in Wroclaw to form a more core team, meaning their development team is looking very strong for 2077.
Next we have a potential collector’s edition statue being shown off by CDPR as gifts they’ve given to employees for the holiday season. The cyberpsycho with the mantis blades was featured in the Cyberpunk 2077 teaser trailer and also given in press kits for journalists who saw the E3 cyberpunk gameplay demo. Now these press kit statues are online for pretty rediculous prices, but there are a couple notable things about this statue.
Next we have the significance of January 10th. Im sure all of you guys were just as disappointed as me about Cyberpunk 2077 and CD Projekt Red being absent from the video game awards 2018, but we can pretty much say we are due for at least something soon from Cyberpunk.
It’s been 3 months since the gameplay demo and if 2019 predictions for the release date are right, then we should be on pace for marketing to kick in. Now January 10th 2013 was the day the cyberpunk 2077 teaser trailer was released, and January 10th2018 was also the day that Cyberpunk 2077 tweeted beep after a very long absence from social media.
Next we have PC Connect London. PC Connects London is a Global PC Games industry conference that takes place from January 21st to the 22nd. CD Projekt Red will make an appearance with level designer Max Pears taking the stage.
Next we have a couple of interesting details and news items. First we have a Borderlands 3 leak. Now this is only relevant due to a leaked characters jacket. Does it look familiar? I thought it was pretty interesting to see that CDPR and Gearbox are in the same mindset design wise.
Lastsly we have Mike Pondsmith at PAX East earlier in the year mentioning how he eventually ended up Licensing his IP to CD Projekt Red for Cyberpunk 2077.
