CD Projekt Red has revealed a fifteen-minute-deep dive into their upcoming sci-fi RPG, Cyberpunk 2077.
The deep dive shows off two different playstyles. The first is The Terminator inspired solo style, which has the player specializing in strength and weapons.
The second style, called the “Netrunner”, is the hacker style. Players who take on this role will be able to hack machines and NPC’s to get the job done. They will also have use of a Johnny Mnemonic inspired wire weapon called a nanowire.
These are not the only styles players can choose from. Iit’s also possible to mix and match.
After the deep dive, Hollie Bennett, CDPR’s UK Head of Communication interviewed three developers about what was in the gameplay and more.
During the interview, it was confirmed that each “life path”, whether it be street kid, nomad or corporate, will have its own story arc and players will start in a different place depending on origin and have very different interactions throughout the story.
Players are also not restricted to the path they have chosen and can switch sides as they see fit.
After the gameplay dropped, Talsorian Games, the minds behind the Cyberpunk 2013/20 and Cyberpunk Red took to Twitter to express their feelings.
According to a report from Polygon, the CD Projekt Red Capital Group announced in a financial report that the developer is moving over to a “dual franchise model,” switching between Cyberpunk and The Witcher franchise and confirming more Witcher is on the way.
Cyberpunk 2077 drops on April 20th, 2020.
