Cyberpunk 2077 is a single-player, first-person action-RPG from CD Projekt Red, the creators of The Witcher series. Inspired by Michael Pondsmith’s 1980s tabletop game, Cyberpunk 2077 delves deep into the cyberpunk genre with its rich themes and aesthetics.
Gameplay—Become a Cyberpunk:
Cyberpunk 2077 offers a versatile gameplay experience where you can adapt your approach to match your style. Charge in with guns blazing or take a stealthier route by using melee weapons and hacking. Combat is intense and gratifying, whether you prefer direct confrontation or tactical evasion.
As a story-driven adventure, the game allows you to shape your path in Night City. You can forge alliances, determine your motivations, and influence the world around you. V can be a deadly fighter or a cunning hacker, but building relationships is key to progressing in this sprawling city.
Powered by REDengine 4, the game showcases exceptional technical prowess, enhancing your immersion in Night City like never before.
Setting—Live in the City of the Future:
In 2077, Night City stands as a testament to humanity’s untapped potential. Located in California, this massive metropolis is a hub of ambition, danger, and opportunity. From the omnipresent body modifications to the ever-watchful Psycho Squads monitoring cyberpsychosis, and the aggressive gangs and profit-driven megacorporations, the city offers a quintessential cyberpunk experience.
Character Creation—Play as a Mercenary Outlaw:
In Cyberpunk 2077, you play as V, a newcomer seeking fortune in Night City. Customize V’s backstory and key life events, which will affect your interactions and quests throughout the game. The character creation system includes detailed face-sculpting tools and a range of Biostats, including “Cool,” which can impact situations even more than high Luck in other RPGs.
Cast of Characters:
Encounter a variety of characters in Night City, some trustworthy and others treacherous. One of your key allies is Johnny Silverhand, a rockerboy portrayed by Keanu Reeves. Meet other significant figures like Dexter Deshawn, a self-styled lord of the underworld, and Jackie Welles, a loyal and formidable ally. Your choices will determine whom you trust, betray, or forgive, with the ever-present reminder that there’s always a bigger fish.
The Open World of Night City:
Travel across the vast city using your vehicle, especially in districts where danger lurks. From the corporate-heavy City Center to the gang-dominated Pacifica, each area has its own character. Enjoy a seamless exploration experience with no loading screens except during fast travel.
