It’s been more than four years since the release of the announcement CG trailer for Cyberpunk 2077. And from the looks of it, CD Projekt RED will reveal more about its cyberpunk game in 2018. After a four-year hiatus, the official Twitter account of Cyberpunk 2077 has shown signs of activity.

We know that a lot of our readers are interesting in Cyberpunk 2077 so there you have it. 2018 will most likely be the year in which CD Projekt RED will reveal more about it.
Cyberpunk 2077 promises to be an ambitious RPG for mature audience that is set in year 2077. The game will take place in a sandbox environment of a vivid and detailed night city and will feature a multi-thread story. In addition, the game will feature advanced RPG mechanics that will be based on pen&paper RPG system and will be upgraded to the 2077 setting.
From what we know so far, Cyberpunk 2077 will feature visuals that will be close to the announcement trailer. CD Projekt RED claimed back in 2013 that the announcement trailer represents the quality of the in-game visuals that the game will feature. This could either mean that the art style will be similar or the quality of the in-game graphics will come close to it (our guess is the former).
CD Projekt RED’s Balazs Torok and Krzysztof Krzyscin claimed that Cyberpunk 2077 will be a mix of FPP and TPP (meaning that the game will most likely support both first-person and third-person perspectives).
Back in 2016, CD Projekt RED stated that it was focusing on the development of Cyberpunk 2077, and in March 2017 the company revealed that the game was in full production and in an advanced development stage.
The last we heard about Cyberpunk 2077 was in November 2017 when CD Projekt RED announced that the engine powering the game was up and running.

So much time has passed that I’ve just lost any desire to play the game.
this
You didn’t lose the desire to comment that you lost the desire, though.
the game is called 2077 for a reason
I love cyberpunk the idea of making a open world cyberpunk as good and as big or bigger than witcher 3 by polish devs makes me wet at night. But looking at how this project is handled, i think we got a “this is why we cant have nice things” case right here. I believe that the project is in development h3ll and that the final result will be a giant freaking mess looking at how people keep leaving the studio and it has been rebooted multiple times over.
I’m wanting this game to turn out to be the quality that we’ve come to expect from CDPR but there’s a good chance that you are right and there may be problems that we aren’t aware of. I’m thinking about the way CDPR treats their employees and it’s no wonder that some have left. Whether it is their top talent leaving I don’t know.
i hope its westerners, they suck dck anyway.
Lol they’re funny. Take your time boys!!! No need to rush this…. like all the AAA titles these days.
Will likely be released in 2018-2020.
2020 release would be a miracle.
In the worst case 2024.
Let see if my gtx 970 wil continue running the games at max settigns 1440p until 2024 so i can keep it until then and then get the achieveemnt of keeping a pc compoment 10+ years!
Actually the worst case is “never”.
to little to late
Wow, was the reveal really in 2013? I knew it was a while ago, but didn’t realize how long it really was. Hopefully that means we won’t wait long after gameplay reveal footage and such. Now I just want an HDR patch for the PC version of TW3.
dude, the game has been been rebooted multiple times, just recently they got the engine up and running. People who got a job in the studio to work on this game, ended up working on witcher 3. There is no game being made all those years. It was in pre production for many years and rebooted multiple times.
Yeah my guess is a 2020 release
I’m interested to know, how far the DEVs can push the graphics, if this game is using the next-gen “REDengine 4” engine.
As far as consoles wil allow. So dont expect mutch .
WTH is with all the comments? Do people have any patience at all? Or is it more, craving for instant gratification,all the time? Even if the game came out tomorrow would you have time to play it day 1? I know I would not,for sure. And would wait for a whole year at least,after release. There are games getting released on a daily basis,surely one can get into some of those. Or no? Not to mention the backlog of games.
The more reactions like this I see,the more I want this game to succeed even more,to blow everyone away. And I am not even that interested in the damn game. Cyberpunk setting is really not my thing.
CDPR is not a “fast-food” chain,nor Ubisoft,but a complex game dev. That takes a huge amount of time and effort. Surely grown ups can understand that. Right?
Or,maybe it just feels good to vent a little,and throw around some bad remarks?
If that is the case,whatever flows your boat…
I let myself get this way, demanding more and more content instantly, and nearly ruined the experience of a good single player game like older Assassin’s Creed and CDPR games by desensitizing myself to it all so I agree. Better to wait and reset your tolerance to immersive electronic media.
The game was anounced in 2013. it has been rebooted multiple times, just recently they got the engine up and running. People who got a job in the studio to work on this game, ended up working on witcher 3. Then left. There is no game being made all those years. It was in pre production for many years and rebooted multiple times.
I would be with you 200% if they were actually “working” on this game all those years but like i said they recently got the engine up and running. The project has been rebooted multiple times and multiple people left the studio.
“The more reactions like this I see,the more I want this game to succeed even more,to blow everyone away. And I am not even that interested in the damn game. Cyberpunk setting is really not my thing. ”
Cyberpunk IS my thing, and i want this game to deliver the goods like witcher 3, which isnt my thing….but, it doesnt look like it well the whole project has been a mess in development h3ll.
“CDPR is not a “fast-food” chain,nor Ubisoft,but a complex game dev. That takes a huge amount of time and effort. Surely grown ups can understand that. Right? ”
Aparently the way they work is to overwork themselves with overtime and set up high ambitions for the game and everything has to go through the manager, basicly they are working like amateurs, utterly disorganized and while witcher 3 came out great, i dont think this time it will work and it pisses me off because its not another medievla rpg and i really want this to sucseed, but i get the feeling that this will be the mass effect andromeda game that will close down the studio.
Hope am wrong.
It seems that CDPR took a bit more than they can chew. But is it really?
I see no bigger problem. As you say the engine is up,and ready. That is great! That is a big step forward. I think many things can be done without the engine itself. I mean I am no dev. and have no real clue how a game development goes. But still,a pretty few things can be done outside engine. Some SFX,music,VO, and whatnot. Those are big deals as well.
CDPR is perhaps new in the industry,but they are not that new,not anymore. And they are not fools. It would be ludicrous to go full MEA on the gamers & fans. Self destruction,as you pointed out.
So,they are not amateurs,not even disorganized. Under pressure,yes. For sure. They might crack,it can happen.
I think CDPR pointed out that the game is going to be released in 2019-2020. Seems far away. But man,the years fly by so fast! 🙂
Indeed, two options are possible. Either great success,or a big fall.
Usually people are too pessimistic. granted,there is a good reason for that.
But,lets wait out just a little bit more. We don’t really know what the future brings.
I would like a more medieval setting. But,eager to see what is going to be like with the new IP.
Oh yeah. Perhaps the biggest mistake from CDPR is that they reviled the game back in 2013.A great trailer btw! A huge hype,and then silence,for tooo long. If they did that in 2016 for example,it would be more easier for everyone.
Perhaps, I am wrong and the end is really nigh. 🙂
“It seems that CDPR took a bit more than they can chew.” – Not the first time they did that and ultimately did not deliver.
Witcher 2 propably.
“By all accounts it was superior to Witcher 1”
Smaller maps, shorter campaign, the lighting is awful, consolish level design, nah it wasnt.
The thing that immediatly popped in my mind is “better world”
WUT?
It has smaller maps, more simplistic with corridor level design that feels like a maze.
I have no idea how you can objectively claim that it has a better world.
All Witcher games basically. But only with the first one it’s not so obvious.
Back in 2013 they made a presentation with the “promises” for the game, one of them was creating your own character, we now for a fact that this is gone. The project was rebooted multiple times over in pre production alot of people who signed with the studio to work on cyberpunk ended up being put into wither 3 instead and then left the studio. The reason they keep hiring people is because people keep quiting. All those years we thought they were working on it, but they were infact working on witcher 3 and expansions. Now they got the engine up and running but the overall core idea of the game like the stoy and gameplay is rebooted many many times. The heads of development of various department are changed so many times and all assets they have like 3d models are made by so many diffirent people that it seems there propably wont be any consistency in the final project. It will be like shadow warrior 2 that you got sci fi weapons and enemies and enviroments mixed with ancient stuff because they used assets meant for hard reset 2.
I get the feeling the final result of this game will be a gigantic mess put together, especially since they aim to make this bigger than witcher 3 which means a riddiculus amount of content which takes a riddiculus amount of time to make. I hope i am wrong, but remember since i love cyberpunk, i got a bigger dog in this gam than everyone else.
I get ya.
Guess,what CDPR has to do is make a clear statement about the progress of the game. Not just reassuring us that everything is OK,and no worries.
And hope they will do that this year.
I really don’t want them to fail. I like their style. Of course they can do better. I am not a fanboy. With their games they breathed in a fresh breath into RPG’s,imho. It is because TW1 I started playing RPG’s. And gaming in general.
Let me be that optimistic fool for a bit. 🙂
Until we know their clear way and official stance,all is speculation.
Though you seem to know a lot already.
It would be a shame if turns out to be that worst scenario.
“I really don’t want them to fail. I like their style.”
Same but i fear they have no style on this project.
To be fair fallout 4 and andromeda lowers the standards by alot.
Haha! Yeah! Did not play either of those games. Talos save us from MEA,but I might try Fallout 4. One day. 🙂
Ye of little faith. Geez. I get it but do you really think CDPR is going to release the game until they’re confident it’s up to their lofty standards and what fans have come to expect from them, especially since the release of Witcher 3?
I believe one of the reasons CP2077 has been taking so long is precisely for this reason. We may finally get some solid, expanded info this year but to anyone expecting gameplay or a release date, I think they will be disappointed. The game is probably going to launch in 2020. ( PNP RPG Cyberpunk 2020, just makes sense to me)
If we do get any trailers, I’d expect another cinematic trailer showcasing the world, characters and the kind of gameplay we can expect. I think CDPR learned their lesson with TW3 with the whole downgrade controversy surrounding TW3. Although, honestly, downgrade or not, the game still turned out beautiful and imho, is still one of the best looking games out there.
check yongyea’s video, my belief is that there is no game right now and the company is in a giant mess.
“I believe one of the reasons CP2077 has been taking so long is precisely for this reason”
AGGHHHH its like i am talking to a damn wall.
REPEAT
THERE WAS NO ENGINE TILL RECENTLY.
PEOPLE SIGNED TO WORK ON THE GAME, ENDED UP BEING PUT ON WITCHER 3 AN EXPANSIONS AND THEN LEFT THE STUDIO.
GAME HAS BEEN REBOOTED MULTIPLE TIMES, DIFFIRENT MANAGERS HAVE TAKEN DIFFIRENT SPOTS, OVER AND OVER AND OVER.
THERE IS NO GAME….if they working on it since 2013, i would say “yeah, they put alot of time and effort in it” but THEY DONT.
“We may finally get some solid, expanded info this year but to anyone expecting gameplay or a release date, ”
Finally, why finally? because we havent seen any footage since anouncement in 2013…why? Because there is no game, there is no engine, people like to say “scam citizen” but we have seen a ton of footage of that, there is a game there, they working on it, they just DONT STOP working on it. Cyberpunk on the other hand, there was a project, it got canned and rebooted. They were people working on it, they were put in witcher 3 and left the studio, they were designer head and managers, but they quit or left the studio, they do not have the same focus they had on 2013, they just recently got an engine. There is no game there.
” I think CDPR learned their lesson with TW3 with the whole downgrad”
I repeat, they didnt have an engine and the gameplay and the assets of the game are made by a bazillion of diffirent people who left the studio with multiple project redirections and if you watch yong yea’s video, the devs say that they overwork all the time, they are highly disorganized and everyone is trying to get the ceo on their side. The project is put through such a development h3ll for so long by so many people that nothing “solid” and consistent will come out of it. So the game will be either a mess or its been developed right now and will be completly diffirent from its original design.
Watched Yongyea. I still do not share your doom and gloom perspective. I think you need to take a step back, you speak as if you know for certain when in truth you have no idea what stage the game is at. What I don’t get is if they’re in such dire straits, why even bring any attention to themselves with this recent twitter development?
They’ve had their heads down, trudging along for this many years without a word, don’t you think that there might be some silver-lining with this news? Could the game be or have been in dev. hell? Absolutely. Does this mean the game will be horrible and fail? Absolutely not.
You’re talking in absolutes when we truly don’t know wth is going on. We do know that while chaotic, Witcher 3 had a similar development. I sincerely feel bad for any devs being pushed to the max and I hope since a lot of attn. was brought to this topic that internally something has been done about this.
Another thing you need to keep in mind, last I checked there were around 300+ devs at CDPR with the plan of expanding to 500. You can be sure that the majority of that number are currently hard at work creating CP2077. It’s OK to be skeptical and worried but imo, let’s wait and see what happens this year.
I think by E3 we’ll have a much better idea where the game stands, and also how CDPR are doing. Again, there’s a reason they posted that *beep*.
The game will release when it’s ready, I for one am not worried whether it will be good or not, I already know it will be great. If for no other reason than IMHO, CDPR have yet to put a bad game out and they’re in a good financial position to take all the time they need to make the best game possible.
“you have no idea what stage the game is ”
I have an idea, there is no stage, it keeps getting rebooted all over.
“I sincerely feel bad for any devs being pushed to the max”
Which is why they leave or lose their effectiveness.
“I think by E3 we’ll have a much better idea where the game stands”
Yes if they even show it.
*boop*
CDPR should’ve just rushed this to market so gamers could’ve complained that it was rushed to market. Either they’re taking too long or they’re rushing. There is no middle ground, apparently.
There was and still is no full-fledged game to rush to the market.
They should’ve rushed something to market so gamers could complain, because that’s the end goal anyways: to complain about something.
To each his own I guess.
Thats what i thought too until i reallized that there is no game, watch yongyea’s video on it. There is nothing to “rush” in the market because there is no game being made. It has been rebooted so many times and so many people ended up being put to work on witcher 3 and its expansions and then left the studio, also they recently got the engine up and running. The reason you havent seen squat since 2013, is because there is no game. It doesnt exist. They didnt “rush” anything, they put the game through development h3ll and ended up rebooting the project with diffirent head designers and managers.
Consider this, we have seen ton of star citizen footage, none of cyberpunk
Games sometimes go through multiple iterations, this could be for the best.
One sentence you say you have a lot in this because you love the cyberpunk genre yet you almost come off like you want the game to fail. Which is it? Also, Yongyea or anyone online, etc. etc. isn’t the be all, end all. If we’re not there, then we do not know the full story.
I have a contact related to CDPR, I’ll see what I can find out. Obviously I cannot promise anything but hey, it’s worth a shot.
No i am telling you there is no game, they havent been working it since 2013, they recently got an engine and people have been leaving for years. There is no consistent project going on. They got their engine and they keep hiring people while people leave. I dont think there is a consistent project right now and it will take years from now to get this ting going.
“I have a contact related to CDPR”
What are you waiting for then?
I remember reading that the world will be bigger than witcher 3 and the expansions combined.
>This could either mean that the art style will be similar or the quality of the in-game graphics will come close to it (our guess is the former).
If they wait long enough they can do those graphics in-game.
Downgrade incoming.
