Easily one of the most anticipated games of the generation so far, CD Projekt Red's long-in-development Cyberpunk 2077 is finally inching towards release. After a major blowout last year, including an hour-long gameplay demo that showed off the inventive first-person shooting, driving and complex dialogue options, the latest from The Witcher studio looks absolutely stunning.

With an emphasis on delivering an interactive world even more driven by the player's actions than their last game, the sandbox of Cyberpunk is bursting with divergent pathways and choice. This isn't going to just be another open world game where icons litter your screen and only the main missions have consequences, CD Projekt Red are attempting to make every scrap of content significant and contribute to the player's own journey through this story.

Back in 2015, the developers proved that expansive, single-player RPGs were still relevant, and it looks like they're gearing up to reaffirm that same point nearly four years on.
