With a mix of dark future trans-humanism themes, Cyberpunk is custom-made for a video game adaptation that was three decades in the making.

Fans don’t want games as a service. They just want a game that they can sit back with and relax, content in the knowledge that they’re getting the full experience delivered to them. Such games on a grander high-budget level are a rarity now, but it’s a direction that The Witcher’s developers CD Projekt Red are remaining locked on.

"An unidentified individual or individuals have just informed us they are in possession of a few internal files belonging to CD PROJEKT RED. Among them are documents connected to early designs for the upcoming game, Cyberpunk 2077."

CD Projekt Red recently trademarked the term “Cyberpunk”, resulting in fans quickly voicing their concerns that the umbrella term for a vast array of fictional media could find itself slapped with plenty of lawsuits in the near future. The developer behind the Witcher series however, wants to assure fans that they’re not seeking to become one of those guys who wields a tight grip on their trademark, and that they’re merely going to use it for the protection of their upcoming game.

CD Projekt Red’s next game is a future-paced title, a game that the developer has all hands on deck for as development amps up.

The success of The Witcher 3 has given the CDPR team the resources to be "more ambitious on every single front" with Cyberpunk 2077.

CD Projekt Red has a long development cycle, and Cyberpunk 2077's has gotten even longer. But that's not a bad thing.

Most of The Witcher 3's developers have moved on to work making Cybeprunk 2077 come to life. Don't expect a similar experience to the Witcher 3 though.
