WATCH: A Look Into the Style of the Future for Cyberpunk 2077

We’re in the last leg of October, and we’re drawing closer to the launch of CD Projekt Red’s Cyberpunk 2077. A lot of people are excited to explore this vast and rich world, and besides all the action and gameplay, CDPR has given us an inside look at the style of the world.

Watch this:

So far, the style has been split into four distinct categories, Kitsch (style over substance), Entropism (necessity over style), Neomilitarism (substance over style), and Neokitsch (style and substance). What’s great is, each style is reminiscent of your character’s standing in the world. While that may sound a tad political, I think it adds a rich layer into the world-building; with the poor having to choose between looking lavish or being functional and the rich being able to afford both.

While this game has been delayed several times, I’m actually fine as long as CDPR has delivered a solid game. After their success with The Witcher III, the stakes are higher than ever for Cyberpunk 2077 to be another homerun for the studio.

Cyberpunk 2077 is an open-world, action-adventure story set in Night City, a megalopolis obsessed with power, glamour and body modification. You play as V, a mercenary outlaw going after a one-of-a-kind implant that is the key to immortality. You can customize your character’s cyberware, skillset and playstyle, and explore a vast city where the choices you make shape the story and the world around you.

Cyberpunk 2077 is set to come out to the Xbox One, PS4, and PC on Nov. 19. Find more games in our updated lists of Upcoming Xbox One Games, Upcoming PS4 Games, and Upcoming PC Games.
