Cyberpunk 2077 is a single-player, first-person action-RPG developed by CD Projekt Red, known for their acclaimed The Witcher series.

Gameplay—Become a Cyberpunk
In Cyberpunk 2077, players can choose their approach to combat and interaction. Whether you prefer direct, gun-blazing action or a more stealthy approach involving melee weapons and hacking, the game offers satisfying and varied combat experiences. Your character, V, can be customized to be either a formidable fighter or a skilled hacker, with the ability to form alliances and navigate the treacherous landscape of Night City.
Setting—Live in the City of the Future
Night City in 2077 embodies the pinnacle of cyberpunk imagination. This sprawling metropolis, located in a desolate part of California, is a hub of technology, crime, and intrigue. The city is alive with cybernetic enhancements, dangerous gangs, and powerful corporations. The environment is designed to immerse players in a vibrant and gritty world, where survival requires navigating complex social and political dynamics.
Character Creation—Play as a Mercenary Outlaw
As V, a newcomer to Night City, you have the freedom to define your character’s background, appearance, and motivations. Choose from several backstory options, such as a street kid or a corporate insider, which will influence interactions and story outcomes. Customize V’s look with detailed face-sculpting tools and allocate points to various attributes, such as “Cool,” to enhance your gameplay experience.
Cast of Characters
Night City is populated with memorable characters, including Johnny Silverhand, a charismatic rockerboy voiced by Keanu Reeves. Alongside Johnny, you’ll encounter figures like Dexter Deshawn and Jackie Welles. Your choices will affect your relationships with these characters and the unfolding of the story.
