Warsaw, Poland-based CD Projekt Red was on hand at this year’s E3 with a nearly hourlong demonstration of its next game, Cyberpunk 2077. The maker of the Witcher series is well outside of its comfort zone on this one, having traded in horses, magic and swords for fast cars, cybernetic implants and futuristic small arms.

Polygon’s viewing of the demo this morning was among the last very last at the expo, so you may have heard that Cyberpunk 2077 is a first-person, role-playing, cover-based shooter and not a third-person brawler. But what many writers have overlooked is how much respect CD Projekt is giving to the game’s original lore, a tabletop RPG first published in 1988.
