Cyberpunk 2077 Reveals Its Gameplay With A 48-Minute Walkthrough Video
0CD Projekt RED has released the full Cyberpunk 2077 gameplay demo for all to watch.
CD Projekt RED showed a Cyberpunk 2077 demo to the press behind closed doors at E3, and again at gamescom last week.
It was a pretty meaty demo that impressed everyone in attendance, and we now get to witness the same gameplay for ourselves.
The video is pretty long, and starts off with our hero, V, chasing after an enemy, before things get quieter as we begin to explore the open world a day after the job. The demo spends a lot of time setting up the world as V talks to different NPCs, installs body upgrades, and more.
Things kick off again when V gets in the car to explore even more of the city, right after a chase takes place. We also get to take a look at what CD Projekt RED calls “gameplay-driven dialogue”, which essentially means the conversation will change based on player choices and what’s happening in the scene.
You’ll notice that many of the E3 screenshots and concept art are taken directly from the demo.
At gamescom, we spoke to CD Projekt RED about the game’s Night City, NPCs, and more. The game is still relatively early in development, so don’t get your hopes up for more reveals like this in the near future.
Cyberpunk 2077 does not yet have a release date, but it’s coming to PC, PS4, and Xbox One.
Here’s a message from Game Director Adam Badowski in a press release:
“What we’re releasing today was recorded from a game deep in development. Since many of the assets and mechanics in the current version of Cyberpunk 2077 are most likely to be modified, we initially decided to show this gameplay only to media. Elements like gunplay (both in terms of visuals and how RPG stats influence it), netrunning, car physics, or the game’s UI — everything’s pretty much still in the playtest phase and we felt uneasy about publicly committing to any particular design. Animation glitches, work-in-progress character facial expressions, early versions of locations — all this made us hesitant to release what you’re about to see.”
“However, we are also well aware that many of you want to see what the media saw Although this is probably not the same game you’ll see on your screen when we launch, we still decided to share this 48-minute video with you. This is how Cyberpunk 2077 looks today. Let us know what you think!”
