The past few months are nothing but Keanu Reeves memes talking about how breathtaking we all are. <a href="https://whatoplay.com/developers/cd-projekt-red/">CD Projekt Red</a> continues to stir some interesting details about their upcoming open-world RPG. 

Although we didn’t get to see any fresh gameplay footage since the release of their 45 minute YouTube video, we did get a handful of new things from numerous CDPR interviews about the looming controversy that might stir when the game comes out next year. 

In a <a href="https://sea.ign.com/xbox-one-gaming-hardware/152031/news/heres-what-cd-projekt-red-really-said-about-religion-in-cyberpunk-2077">recent interview by IGN</a> in the Polish News Site Gry Online WP, the creators stated that religion exists but comes in many forms and branches: 

<div class="direct-quote">
 Gry Online WP (English): You mentioned religion. Does it still exist in the Cyberpunk world?
 CD Projekt Red (English): Yes, and in many forms. As I mentioned, our vision is somehow based on the real world. And religion is a very important part of the latter, society-wise. In our game we’re going to see for example Christianity and its different branches, or religions from the East.

The internet isn’t all too friendly with its take on the LGBT community, religion and even racial diversity. Of course that’s a given when you’re living in a Cyberpunk society. CDPR assured fans that they’re really staying true to Mike Pondsmith’s dark and harrowing future. 

<div class="direct-quote">
	Gry Online WP (English): Sounds controversial. Someone will enter a church to cause havoc.
 CD Projekt Red (English): We do not want to avoid religion as a topic, authenticity of the world is what counts for us. Technically, the situation you mentioned is possible, but this is all about the choices made by the player. We won’t encourage the player to do so. In our quests, which involve religious themes, we make sure there’s no disrespect.

There’s no surprise to the many things you can do in Cyberpunk 2077 given CDPR’s reputation with Witcher 3: Wild Hunt. All in all, the creators did not claim they would offend any particular group, they are aware of the worldbuilding they have in store for this ambitious new title. 

Cyberpunk 2077 comes out this April 16, 2020 for the <a href="https://whatoplay.com/ps4/cyberpunk-2077/">PlayStation 4</a>, <a href="https://whatoplay.com/xbox-one/cyberpunk-2077/">Xbox One</a> and <a href="https://whatoplay.com/pc/cyberpunk-2077/">PC</a>.

Controversy? That’s cute.
