Witcher Developer Announces Title for Upcoming Sci-Fi RPG

October 18, 2012 by Jeanine Celestin-Greer

CD Projekt Red talks cyberpunk

CD Projekt RED'S sci-fi RPG finally has a name—and it's very appropriate. The aptly named Cyberpunk 2077 is based on the pen-and-paper RPG Cyberpunk 2020 and surprise— it takes place in 2077. The Witcher developer talked about the game in a new blog today.

They said it was a good fit for them, stating that, "While still working on The Witcher 2, we started thinking about creating a huge RPG set in a Sci-Fi world. We wanted to take the universal values we used in the game about Geralt and show them from a different perspective. On top of that, we had plenty of ideas for features that couldn’t be implemented in The Witcher simply because they didn’t fit in the setting."

CD Projekt RED seems to want to reproduce the critical and commercial success they had with The Witcher series, particularly The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings. They literally said, "We were still committed to create a game for mature audiences that dealt with important, thought-provoking matters. We would put in place exactly what we’ve learned while creating The Witcher 2 with just one difference – the game would be set in the future. No elves, no dwarves and no magic."

A lot of people are definitely looking forward to what the Polish developer can do in a sci-fi setting. Are you?
