CD Projekt Red Announces New "Cyberpunk" Game

CD Projekt Red, the developers of the Witcher series announced today they are working on two new games, one of them most likely is the next Witcher game (just speculation). The other game they are working on was talked about during there press conference this morning, it will be a game based on the "Cyberpunk pen-and-paper game by Mike Pondsmith". The game will apparently be set up much like the Witcher series in that it will be an RPG where you can select different classes like mercenary or hacker, and then get to choose what cybernetic implants you want to give your character. There will also be a huge assortment of weapons to chose from as well. In addition, like the Witcher the game will feature a non-linear story line where your decisions can affect the outcome of the game. CD Projekt Red mentioned they want to adhere to archetypal cyberpunk settings citing " William Gibson€™s fiction and Blade Runner". As of right now there is no set release date for the game. In addition, we do not know what systems the game will be released on at this time; it will most likely be released on PC but it is unknown whether the game will be released on consoles. Personally I love the cyberpunk setting and the thought of CD Projekt Red creating a non-linear story based game in that setting has me on edge waiting for more details. However, we may have to wait a while because all CD Projekt Red is showing right now is concept art, meaning they are probably still in the very early stages of building the game.
