Cyberpunk 2077 News – Devs CONFIDENT, Kids In 2077, LE Console!

Video Leave a comment

Developer chatter on Twitter about the state of Cyberpunk 2077, some new merchandise including an official Xbox console and Headset, Cyberpunk Red miniatures and augmented kids being possible for 2077, more gang lore, rating agencies and some info about where Cyberpunk 2077 is truly an 18+ game, some music teases and more in todays Cyberpunk 2077 News!

First up we have the Cyberpunk 2077 twitter releasing some more Gang lore, this time about the Animals gang which we have seen in the Deep Dive video. The Animals are an aggressive street-fighting gang from west Pacifica that eschews the use of traditional cyberware. Instead, they use ultra-testosterone and animal supplements (like growth hormones). They’re animalistic at heart and dangerously proud of who they are.

In the demo these steroids were called Juice, so I’m not sure if this has changed, but regardless love their logo and their ideology.

Moving on, as we all know Cyberpunk 2077 was supposed to come out a week or so ago on April 16th, and for a while now we know that this date had been pushed back to September 17th so CDPR can focus on bug squashing and optimization. There was some speculation that we might get something Cyberpunk related on this date to tide us over until the marketing starts to ramp up in June, but This wasn’t the case as a Where’s Johnny meme was posted to their socials, meaning we’ll have to wait a bit longer for Cyberpunk content.

With that being said, it seems like the developers are talking about Cyberpunk 2077 a little bit more recently, with many of them being incredibly confident in the potential of the game. Pawel Sasko also retweeted this list of Top 10 RPGs of all time, mentioning that when 2077 comes out this list will be outdated. It will be worth the wait seems to be the common theme amongst CDPR and its staff.
Moving on we have the release of a couple of Cyberpunk products in the Johnny Silverhand controller, the Limited-Edition Xbox One X console as well as the official Cyberpunk SteelSeries headsets. The limited-edition console was the product of an Xbox ARG where the Game Detectives an online puzzle busting discord group cracked the code to unveil the unlisted Console Trailer. The console comes with a Silverhand controller which can be purchased separately, and for what it’s worth I think the controller is more my style than the console. In any case if you are in the market, check this out, but I’d probably just wait on next gen, unless you don’t have any way to play 2077 at the moment.

Moving on we have some rating agencies news as there was an alleged Instagram story pinning Cyberpunk 2077 at a Mature rating in North America and some insight from Brazilian classification that it will not be recommended for those under 18. Now the Instagram story has subsequently been deleted from the Cyberpunk 2077 official page, but the Brazilian ratings seem to carry a bit more information on where Cyberpunk 2077 seems to be more mature, and where it seems to be a little bit more age friendly. Of course, this is all relative since the game is adult in nature. JordanMK over on reddit gave us some addition insight into the age recommendations on some of the themes in Cyberpunk 2077, so I’ll post the age indicators for each on screen for you guys. Now obviously Brazil looks at these different elements with a different lens than north America would, but it does seem like this may be similar to The Witcher in terms of violence, nudity and language.

Cyberpunk 2077 News – CDPR Reveals Future Plans For Cyberpunk 2077 & Witcher!

Video Leave a comment

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.

Cyberpunk 2077 News – Rumors About Current Gen Holding Back Cyberpunk, Takemura & Funko Pops!

Video Leave a comment

Some BIG Rumors from a big Polish journalist, a NEW character teased via a new Cyberpunk 2077 Funko Pop release, some new Cyberpunk Red developments in the form of new art, Cyberpunk multiplayer and more will all be discussed in today’s Cyberpunk 2077 News episode!

Starting off today’s episode we have some Cyberpunk 2077 Funko Pops officially being announced at the London Toy Fair by Funko in collaboration with CD PROJEKT RED. The official image they showed includes two Male V figures, 1 which glows in the dark and both retracting the Nanowire cable from their arms, 2 of Johnny Silverhand, as well as one female V statue sporting the mantis blades.

Now there was also another image of a Cyberpunk 2077 Funko Pop which have yet to hear about. This character’s name is Takamura. I hadn’t heard about this guy from the lore so I asked the expert herself MadQueen if she had, and she didn’t so this is likely a new character for 2077 or that will be featured first in the tabletop Cyberpunk Red.

My first assumption about this character is he is most definitely from Arasaka, since Arasaka employees wear all black, as well as the obvious in his name sounding Japanese. He looks somewhat similar to the Arasaka employee being ran over in the CE statue, but the eye augmentations and facial hair do differ between the two.

Next we have a Rumor I wanted to mention coming from Borys Niespielak, who is apparently as renowed as Jason Schreier in Poland. I want to preamble this part of the video with the fact that these are currently rumors and should be taken with a huge grain of salt. These were posted via a user who translated the podcast from polish to English in the Triple S League Discord server. There’s one point in particular I wanted to address out of all of them from this as it aligns with recent delay statements.

The rumor in question is that the biggest of Cyberpunk 2077s technical problems are being caused by the first version of the Xbox One from 2013, and that if these problems weren’t solved by January, there would be a delay. Obviously, there was a delay, so the issue may be the original Xbox, although there is a parallel rumor from this podcast mentioning that Cyberpunk at GDC 2019 had no way of running properly on current gen overall.

There were other rumors via the translation, including Ciri being the main character for a CDPR game in the future that was supposed to be exclusive to Sony, which makes no sense to me judging by how close the studio is to Microsoft, and their presence at Microsoft conferences, that the main story is shorter than The Witcher 3’s but is satisfying on second or third runs, and that the main storyline is finished.

Next, we have an article from GamesRadar analyzing the Cyberpunk 2077 delay. In the article they mention that due to the scale, density and seamless world building CD PROJEKT RED is attempting to immerse the player in, the delay was an inevitable.
Quest Designer Patrick Mills, likens the quest development process to trying to put a jigsaw puzzle together, but the pieces of the puzzle keep changing shape as you place more of them in. He’s mentioned in the past it’s a lot of work and revision.
We all know the Witcher 3 went through a couple of delays, and Cyberpunk 2077 looks substantially more complex in not only it’s vertically expansive world but also its gameplay approach.

Next up we have Cyberpunk 2077 Multiplayer news. Now in the last video regarding the delay and a teleconference with investors by CDPR about the delay, I made mention of how CD PROJEKT RED clarified that the next triple A RPG game that they were making is actually Codenamed Cyberpunk online but will be a Cyberpunk multiplayer experience. I wanted to come back and address it because we had been speculating for a long time, that CD PROJEKT RED was doing 3 cyberpunk projects, and now we have confirmation of this. We have the standalone single player story driven RPG coming September 17th, we have the DLCs and Expansions that will be coming post launch, and now we have what will likely be a standalone Cyberpunk Online game. It’s still classified as a Triple A RPG, so that just goes to show that this will be an online mode with RPG elements in it, likely using assets from 2077. Now originally this was scheduled for 2021 like previously mentioned but with the delay of Cyberpunk 2077, Cyberpunk Online will likely now have a release date of 2022 at the earliest.
