Cyberpunk 2077 Gamescom v2.18 Tease, Update Scheduled for Tuesday, August 2018

Cyberpunk 2077 is the futuristic sci-fi game that fans have eagerly been awaiting. Since it is from CD Projekt Red, the developers of the phenomenally popular Witcher series of games. The game is set to be a futuristic first-person shooter with heavy RPG elements. Now we finally have an update with CyberPunk 2077 Gamescom v2.18 via a tweet from the games official Twitter!

Cyberpunk 2077 Gamescom v.218 is a not so subtle nod that the game will be appearing at Gamescom 2018. The next part of the Tweet tells us that the exact date for this will be Tuesday, August 21st. Which is literally right around the corner. CD Projekt Red might have just dropped the biggest bomb on Gamescom 2018. Truly show-stealing reveal!

Now we are unsure as to what capacity CyberPunk 2077 will appear in at Gamescom 2018. But given how it is an event that mostly highlights gameplay demons. We will most likely see a gameplay demo for CyberPunk 2077. Which is wild, since we just recently saw the first full trailer of the game at E3.

To see gameplay so soon after the E3 trailer. We gamers truly are being spoiled. There was recently backlash from the fans over the game being exclusively first-person. In an interview that IGN had with Pete Gelencser, the lead level designer of Cyberpunk 2077. He had this to say:

"First and foremost, I really enjoy all the attention the subject is getting, because it's important. This has been an educated decision. The first-person point of view is there so you can see things happening up close, and so you can really interact with things in a visceral manner. with the game world. It worked out well with our exploration of the genre."

This was a concern to fans because of the previous games by CD Projekt Red being third-person Action RPGs. Fans were not ready to accept such a massive shake-up to the formula that made the Witcher series so great.
