The first television spot for CD Projekt Red’s highly-anticipated RPG game Cyberpunk 2077 hit the internet today, featuring none other than Keanu Reeves himself! Reeves also stars in the game as Johnny Silverhand.
Check out the trailer below:
Cyberpunk 2077 takes place in Night City, California, where crime and bio hacks are easy, but your body might pay the price. The world of 2077‘s ruled by mega corporations who micromanage every aspect of citizens daily life.
The streets of Night City are rife with drug-pushing gangs, tech hustlers, and illegal braindance slingers.
The game hosts all of the trappings of a rich, lush technocratic city. Cyberpunk 2077 takes place in a near-future dystopia where body modifications are common and crime runs rampant.
Here’s the official synopsis of the game:
“Cyberpunk 2077 is an open-world, action-adventure story set in Night City, a megalopolis obsessed with power, glamour and body modification.
You play as V, a mercenary outlaw going after a one-of-a-kind implant that is the key to immortality.
You can customize your character’s cyberware, skillset and playstyle, and explore a vast city where the choices you make shape the story and the world around you.”
According to the game’s creators,
“In the world of Cyberpunk, few things go as planned. Every decision you make will have consequences. Your choices will shape how the world reacts to you and affect your relationships with those around you.”
The game isn’t a small mapped adventure, Night City has more than a few regions to explore:
- Westbrook: A tourist-oriented Japantown, Westbrook is for the wealthy who like to play as hard as they work.
- Heywood: A massive suburban district. To live here means you’ve made it, but that doesn’t mean you’ve escaped the darkness that lurks in Night City.
- Pacifica: Abandoned, crumbling, and overrun with gang activity, Pacifica is the textbook definition of impoverished.
- It was once primed to be a lavish tourist center, but as corporations pulled out, the neighborhood was left unfinished.
- Towering, incomplete skyscrapers are now home to all sorts of nefarious activity.
- Santo Domingo: All of Night City is powered from here, with its power plants and industrial factories.
- Watson: A uniquely Asian-centered location, cultures mix here with markets, bazaars, and plenty of alleyways to get lost in.
- City Center: Where it all happens in Night City. This is where all of the corporations are located and there’s plenty of neon and luxury to lure you in.
- The Badlands: Venture beyond Night City and you’ll find yourself in the Badlands, where the remnants of the past lie buried in dirt. Beware the Nomads who roam in dangerous vehicles across the Badlands.
