What is Cyberpunk 2077?
Cyberpunk 2077 is a story-driven, open world RPG from CD PROJEKT RED, creators of The Witcher series of games. It has been developed using the same REDengine 4 as The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, so we can expect a similar feel.
It is the second video game adaptation from the Cyberpunk franchise. The first one being Cyberpunk: Arasaka’s Plot, a mobile 2D platformer developed by a different studio. Cyberpunk was originally a dystopian tabletop role-playing game written by Mike Pondsmith.
The upcoming video game, Cyberpunk 2077, takes places in Night City, a megalopolis
obsessed with power, glamour and body modification. Players assume the role of V, a mercenary outlaw going after a one-of-a-kind implant that is the key to immortality. You can customize your character’s cyberware, skillset and playstyle, and explore a vast city where the choices you make shape the story and the world around you.

The anticipation for the Cyberpunk 2077 release date is huge. It was originally set for April 16th 2020, but it was delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic to September 17, 2020. And despite CD Projekt Red’s reassurances during the lockdown, it has been delayed a second time.
