CD Projekt Red just released Cyberpunk 2077, over eight years after they first announced it. The new open-world RPG from the makers of The Witcher sends us into a dystopian future where the megacorps are trashing our rights, the décor is heavy on neon, the fashion is big on pleather, and the digital ghost of Keanu Reeves is stuck in our head. While we don’t have a review yet because we weren’t given a copy in time, we’ll have plenty to say soon. But hey, you can see for yourself now!

The launch trailer for Cyberpunk 2077 hit yesterday ahead of tonight’s launch, and it revealed more than was initially apparent. CD Projekt Red snuck a secret message into a single frame at the end of the trailer, see. They talked about their apprehension around launching a whole new thing after years of The Witcher, and their plans for what comes next. We already knew they were planning to release free DLC nuggets followed by proper expansions, but now we know to start expecting the freebies in “early 2021”.

Reviews for Cyberpunk 2077 are here (well not here>, because CD Projekt Red didn’t give us it) and everyone agrees: the game is well buggy. It’s put a bit of a dampener on enthusiasm that’s been building for years. Will this be fixed by the time the game comes out on Thursday and we can all play?

Cyberpunk 2077

is very nearly almost here. But while the marketing train is coming to an end, CD Projekt have one last trailer to show us before we dive into Night City proper with Keanu and the gang. Our (probably) final pre-release short gives us a glimpse at leading lad V’s no-good day in cybertown, waking up in the garbage with a rockstar in his head and a city wot needs burning. Can’t say I’ve had many worse hangovers than that.

After one Cyberpunk 2077 reviewer suffered a seizure during a particularly visually-intense section of the game, an epilepsy charity have called for CD Projekt Red to consider updating the game in response. It’s perhaps not surprising that the dystopian RPG has garish nightclubs and computer glitches, but one particular gadget bears flashing lights with a dangerously striking resemblance to medical devices used to intentionally trigger seizures. Yeah, this might be a problem, Epilepsy Action say.

Update: CDPR say they’re working on it, with both an extra warning and tentative plans for “a more permanent solution”. More info below.>

We’re three days off the launch day for Cyberpunk 2077 but PC players can start downloading the game right now ahead of time. Of course you can’t play it yet though. Or perhaps you can? Folks who have pre-loaded the game on their machines may be delighted to see that you can in fact press “play” once it’s done. Alas, you’re only in store for a scold from Johnny Silverhand until the game is properly out.
