Better Late Than Never
After numerous delays, the release of Cyberpunk 2077 is finally upon us, with some lucky gamers already beginning their journeys through Night City due to certain retailers breaking street date. Despite the fact that the game’s received mixed reviews, it remains one of the most anticipated titles of 2020, promising a unique experience through the futuristic Night City as your character, V, works their way up to becoming a Njight City Legend.
We’ve already posted about the new trailer, but since then a secret message has been uncovered within the trailer, planted there by developers CD Projekt Red. The message reads:
The wait for Cyberpunk 2077 is almost over. It’s been quite the journey, and first of all, we want to thank all of you for being with us along the way. We know there’s a fair amount of anticipation for the game, and very soon you will all be able to decide whether or not we’ve lived up to the hype.
Launch day is always a mix of excitement and constant nerve-wracking, and with this being the first game we’ve developed that isn’t titled “The Witcher,” we’d be lying if we said we weren’t anxious to see what you think once you’ve sunk your teeth into it. With this launch trailer, we’re just about ready to flick the switch and see Cyberpunk 2077 go for ours and become yours. We set out to create our most immersive world yet, and we believe that the stories waiting for you to uncover, and the relationships you’ll forge during your time in Night City, will stick with you for quite some time.
We’ve mentioned before that expansions will be coming, and while we’re not ready to talk specifics just yet, we will say that we’ve learned a lot from out work on both Hearts of Stone and Blood and Wine. Our planned expansions will take you even deeper into the world of Cyberpunk 2077, offering substantial story-driven content that’ll give you tough choices to make through impactful narratives you won’t soon forget. But before we get there, we’ll be kicking off our free DLC program in early 2021. Just like with The Witcher 3, expect an assortment of free DLC packs to begin hitting Night City, dropping a bunch of cool stuff that’ll inject even more life into the world of the dark future. We hope you’re looking forward to them!
We want to end this message with a request. Once you play/finish the game, we would love it if you got back to us and told us who your V was. Our forums and social media are always there for you. We want to know how you found Night City and what choices you made. We created a huge world for you to jump into, tell us your story.
The message was found by staff at PCGamer.com (2:09 into the trailer) and while it doesn’t offer anything new, it does hint at the nature of the (already confirmed) free DLC we’re due to receive. It also acknowledges that the game has been hyped up to the level where it may not satisfy everyone, but if you’re anything like me then you’re still hoping that the game’s dark future will be a fun experience.
