CD Projekt Red's next game, Cyberpunk 2077, is a massive departure from the developer's previous efforts on The Witcher series. Instead of lush forests, picturesque open-fields, and towering mountains, the devs are creating a world set in the concrete jungle of Northern California in a distant future. Unlike a lot of fiction focusing on a darker future, Cyberpunk 2077 aspires to move away from grimdark and towards amore exuberant, but equally cynical vision for a future where capitalism and technology has run amok.

Inspired and influenced by the original Cyberpunk 2020 pen and paper RPG, 2077 extrapolates many of the themes and iconography from its source, while capitalizing the developer's skillset for crafting dense and visually rich environments to explore. We saw a near hour-long gameplay demo behind closed doors at E3 2018, showcasing many of the systems and locales that you'll find in Cyberpunk 2077, and came out impressed by the scope of CD Projekt Red's new first-person action-RPG.
