After a long wait, we learned a lot more about Cyberpunk 2077 at E3 2018. Developer CD Projekt Red showed off a trailer during Microsoft’s press conference as well as a behind-closed-doors demo that has not been released publicly. We now have a better idea of what 2077’s setting, Night City, is like and how combat will work, plus a little bit about cybernetic enhancements and romantic relationships. But there’s still a lot we don’t know, and that means our imaginations have been running wild.
We’ve put together a wishlist of things we’d love to see in Cyberpunk 2077, from character classes to cool clothes. This includes elements from Cyberpunk 2020, the pen-and-paper RPG 2077 is based on–creator Mike Pondsmith is working closely with CDPR on 2077–as well as our more general RPG hopes and dreams.
If you aren’t familiar with Cyberpunk 2077, it’s a first-person game with some shooting mechanics, but it’s not a shooter–it’s an RPG through and through with a focus on dynamic decision-making and robust questlines. You create your own character, a mercenary named V. You can select their gender and ethnic background as well as their backstory, including what brought them to Night City or if they’re a local. According to associate design director Kyle Rowley, “The things you define in your life path, in your backstory, can modify or unlock things as you’re playing through the game.”

You can also read up on the districts of Night City and why 2077 is an even more ambitious game than you might realize.
