Cyberpunk 2077

One of the most anticipated game in the last 5+ years has been Cyberpunk 2077 by CD Project Red, a polish video game publisher and distributor who has brought us the amazing Witcher series.

They created one Teaser Trailer which was uploaded to youtube on January 10th 2013 that has received over 12 million views with the song Bullets by Archive.

Tonight they released another trailer that fans have been waiting for so many years, here is the official E3 trailer for Cyberpunk 2077.

There was also a bonus hidden message by CDPR in the background of the reveal.

Thanks to Reddit user Fizrock for the quoting of the text:

It's been over 2077 days since we announced our plan to develop Cyberpunk 2077. We released a CGI trailer, gave some interviews and... went dark. Normal procedure for these kinds of things - you announce a game and then shut up, roll up your sleeves, and go to work. We wanted to give you The Witcher 3 and both expansions first, which is why this period of staying silent was longer than we planned. Sorry for that.

As soon as we concluded work on Blood and Wine we were able to go full speed ahead with CP2077's pre-production. But we chose to remain silent. Why? At some point, we made a decision to resume talking about the game only when we have something to show. Something meaningful and substantial. This is because we do realise you've been (im)patiently waiting for a very long time, and we wouldn't want anyone to feel that we're taking this for granted. On the contrary - it gives us a lot of extra motivation. The hype is real, so the sweat and tears need to be real, too :).

But to the point. Today is the day. If you're seeing this, it means you saw the trailer - our vision of Cyberpunk, an alternative version of the future where America is in pieces, megacorporations control all aspects of civilised life, and gangs rule the rest. And, while this world is full of adrenaline, don't let the car chases and guns mislead you. Cyberpunk 2077 is a true single player, story-driven RPG. You'll be able to create your own character and..., well, you'll get to know the rest from what we show at our booth at E3. Be on the lookout for previews!

Before we finish, you probably have some questions, right?

When? When we told you we would only release the game when it's ready, we meant it. We're definitely much, much closer to a release date than we were back then :), but it's still not the time to confirm anything, so patience is still required. Quality is the only thing that drives us - it's the beauty of being an independent studio and your own publisher.

How big? Seriously big, but..., to be honest, we have no bloody clue at this point in time. Once we put it all together, we will openly tell you what you can expect. And we promise we'll do this before we start talking about any pre-orders or ask anything of you.

Free DLC/Expansions/DRM? Expect nothing less than you got with The Witcher 3. As for DRM, CP2077 will be 100% DRM-free on PC.

Microtransactions? In a single player role-playing game? Are you nuts?

Once again, thank you for your patience. If you have a minute, do visit cyberpunk.net and share your opinion (about anything) with us. We read everything you post and we treat it very seriously.

Yours, CD PROJEKT RED Team

I have to say, I am so hyped for this game. This will be something special combined with the long wait and the nostalgia of the first trailer and knowing how well CDPR have done with the Witcher series I have high hopes that this will be an amazing game. Hopefully it won't take too long for it to arrive.

It is amazing at the same time to see how gaming performances and visuals have evolved over the years, at the time of the release of the Teaser most people couldn't even dream of the game having similar gameplay to a Trailer, but here we are coming closer to photo-reality step by step. What a time to be alive for gamers and especially for PC gamers. ;)
