In an interview with Xbox Magazine, they explain Cyberpunk 2077<\/strong> The makers of CD Projekt Red that they don't shy away from political criticism.<\/p>\n

Cyberpunk 2077 - Political by nature<\/h2>\n

Politics in games is a red rag for many game designers. If the whole thing is too obvious and controversial, you alienate part of the clientele. For example they have The Division 2<\/strong> Developers decided to avoid political messages as much as possible.<\/p>\n

In contrast, the CD project red<\/strong> Developer loyal to Cyberpunk 2077 template. The pen & paper role-playing game Cyberpunk 2020<\/strong> and also its templates, the Neuromancer<\/strong> (Buy now on Amazon *<\/a>) Books by William Gibson<\/strong>, are practically about politics. The world described there, which is ruled by megacorporations and in which money is equated with power, has pilloried many developments in today's society for years. A computer game in this context cannot actually be neutral at all. Like a good book or film, the game brings fun and entertainment, and hopefully some food for thought.<\/p>\n

Patrick Mills, Quest Designer for Cyberpunk 2077:<\/p>\n

"Cyberpunk 2077 is a game about people with power at the top and people at the bottom with none," he replied. "That power can come from money, hierarchies, technology and violence. The original Cyberpunk 2020 setting, like the setting of The Witcher stories, was a complex critique of the author's world, and we don't shy away from that in our games. On the contrary I think it's one of the things that sets us apart [\u2026] Cyberpunk is an inherently political genre and it's an inherently political franchise. "<\/em> Source: Xbox Magazine<\/p>\n

The Witcher model also had social criticism<\/h3>\n

Translated:<\/p>\n

\u201cCyberpunk 2077 is a game about the powerful people at the top and the powerless people below. This power is based on wealth, structures, technology and violence. The original Cyberpunk 2020 scenario<\/strong>, similar to the templates for The Witcher, is a complex criticism of the author's world and we don't shy away from implementing it in our games. On the contrary, I think that's something that sets our games apart from many others. [\u2026 ..] Cyberpunk is by nature part of a political genre. "<\/em><\/p>\n

So fans of the templates can look forward to an adequate implementation and not a "softened" product. Cyberpunk 2077 is for PC, PlayStation and Xbox<\/strong> appear, there is no release date yet.<\/p>\n
