Cyberpunk 2077 Video Trailer

Cyberpunk 2077 is a new game being made by CD Projekt Red, the same people responsible for Witcher 1 & 2 RPG games (great games BTW – I recommend them to everyone – or at least read the books ;)). Little was known about the title up until now, when they released the above video teaser. Trailer gives off that Bladerunner/Splinter Cell/Deus Ex vibe and I hope the Polish developer delivers like they did with Witcher. The official description of the video teaser is:

The trailer shows a woman going on a rampage due to the amount of cybermodifications in her body. The Night City police try to intervene with the help of a member of an elite police called Psycho Squad

Here’s what Adam Badowski, head of CD Projekt RED studio, had to say about the teaser:

The teaser shows how the Psycho Squad might acquire a new member. The Psycho Squad specializes in combating “psychos” – individuals who overuse implants and substances that boost or otherwise alter the human body. There comes a point when they overdose on these innovations, and their bodies start to rebel against their biological body parts as well as against all things organic around them. Simply put, they start killing people, who they now derisively call “meatbags.” When a psycho goes on the rampage, strange things can happen. There’s going to be a lot of carnage, so the psycho might be taken down by regular police, but they’re not always able to get the job done. When things spin out of control, they call in MAX-TAC (Maximum Force Tactical Division), popularly called the “Psycho Squad”. And these guys are exceptional, these guys are crack troops. The fact that they’re proud of that name tells you a bit about their mindset. They wear a badge with their official emblem on their right sleeve, but their left is reserved for their unofficial Psycho Squad emblem. It’s primitively made and the image itself is on the crude side of things. It’s not unlike a badge special force operators might make and wear to distinguish themselves from the ranks of grunts in any theatre of war
