[Gaming]/Cyberpunk 2077


Time to switch gears a bit and I couldn't think of a better thing to do that with than the teaser trailer for the upcoming Cyberpunk 2077, being produced by CD Projekt of Witcher fame. This is an adaptation of the classic Cyberpunk table-top RPG game and from the looks of it, they're nailing the atmosphere with things which is good to see. Mostly due to the fact that there haven't been many true cyberpunk games at all lately and this seems to really capture the mood perfectly.

While there is no information on release date or platforms, at least they've given us this bit of pretty to ogle over in the meantime: 


The description of the trailer from CD Project:
Welcome to the year 2077. More info: http://www.cyberpunk.net/

The teaser shows how the Psycho Squad might acquire a new member.

The Psycho Squad specializes in combating "psychos" -- individuals who overuse implants and substances that boost or otherwise alter the human body.

There comes a point when they overdose on these innovations, and their bodies start to rebel against their biological body parts as well as all things organic around them. Simply put, they start killing people, who they now derisively call "meatbags."

When a psycho goes on the rampage, strange things can happen. There's carnage, and the psycho might be taken down by regular police, but they're not always able to get the job done.

When things spin out of control, they call in MAX-TAC (Maximum Force Tactical Division), popularly called the Psycho Squad.

UPDATE: 
Embedded text in the trailer (spotted on Twitter) gives a hint as to what exactly we can expect from this game: calling it a non-linear, open-world RPG, and that CDP is still building the team for development of Cyberpunk 2077.
