Over the course of Microsoft’s annual Xbox E3 press conference, they revealed 50 brand new games, including surprises like Halo: Infinite, Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice, and Devil May Cry 5, but no one could have predicted how the conference would close: with the video feed glitching out and cutting to an unexpected first-look at CD Projekt Red’s highly anticipated follow-up to The Witcher 3, Cyberpunk 2077.
A markedly brighter game than The Witcher 3, CD Projekt Red is trading in high fantasy for grungy sci-fi and neon lights. Cyberpunk 2077 looks jam-packed full of heavily augmented gangsters, cybernetic enhancements, holograms, seedy bars, robot fights, and so much more. Only time will tell if it can exceed the ridiculousness of The Witcher 3‘s infamous unicorn scene though…
What do you hope to see from Cyberpunk 2077? Let us know in the comments below!
