16 Essential Open-World Video Games Coming In 2017 & 2018

10. Cyberpunk 2077

With The Witcher III making such a splash back in 2015, it's easy to forget that rather than continue the series ad infinitum, CD Projekt RED are instead pivoting entirely into sci-fi territory. Sadly, we've seen nothing other than a title card and conceptual CG teaser, though with the sheer pedigree of Wild Hunt and its subsequent DLC being absolutely phenomenal, CDPR aren't likely to disappoint.

What we do know though, is the game will feature a multiplayer component (a first for the studio outside of the new Gwent game), and that the world of Night City will be comprised of various different languages that you'll slowly decode and understand over time. It also sounds like we'll be able to jack into other NPCs' bodies, as thanks to society being entirely dependant on augments and synthetic body parts, you'll have access to various citizens' abilities alongside your own.

As mentioned, we know very little - in fact, even all the above is subject to change - but with CDPR at the helm, expect hype for this to snowball once gameplay is unveiled.
