CD Projekt RED Studio announced today that it is currently in development of a triple-a rpg based on the “Cyberpunk” pen and paper system. Along with taking a more mature turn in their newest game, CD Projekt also noted that Cyberpunk would be”richly detailed, non-linear, and with a complex and gripping story.” Choosing your class, you’ll experience the world through the eyes of your character with your choices having an effect on the world around you.
Mike Pondsmith, original Cyberpunk game designer stated,
“For over two decades, I’ve been proud to say that Cyberpunk’s been the gold standard of what it means to be a true cyberpunk game. And it’s been a huge success for me and our many fans, with over 5 million players worldwide. But over all that time we haven’t found the right team to bring our cyberpunk world to full digital life — until now. CD Projekt Red is the team we’ve been hoping for. Their incredible work on The Witcher and The Witcher 2 shows that they share the same dedication and love of great games that we do at Talsorian. I’m especially stoked that they want our participation in making this game a fantastic project that will live up to everything Cyberpunk fans (old and new) have been waiting for. Trust me — this game is going to rock,”
The Witcher 2 was an all-around great game. I’m really looking forward to seeing what these guys do with a different genre! My next task will be to forget that I ever heard this news until the game is released, so I won’t have to obsess.
