Rumors recently surfaced online about Sony allegedly acquiring Cyberpunk 2077 developer CD Projekt RED, after a prominent leaker claimed they were aware of Sony’s plans to do so. However, in a recent earnings call, CD Projekt president and CEO Adam Kiciński disproved the rumors and stated they were untrue. Additionally, Kiciński stated that Cyberpunk 2077’s upcoming Phantom Liberty expansion will be featured at the upcoming Summer Game Fest‘s Play Days event, and will be playable.
In response to an attendee asking about the rumors, Kiciński replied:
“Nothing has changed in our end
We want to remain independent. We have, I believe an excellent strategy. Not easy to execute, for sure, but it’s very exciting to follow our own path. So it’s a pure rumour.”
Cyberpunk 2077 details via the developer:
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.
Become a cyberpunk, an urban mercenary equipped with cybernetic enhancements and build your legend on the streets of Night City. Create your character from scratch and choose their background out of three unique Lifepaths. Take the role of a gang-wise Street Kid, freedom-loving Nomad, or a ruthless Corpo.
Enter the massive open world of Night City, a place that sets new standards in terms of visuals, complexity and depth. Explore the bustling megalopolis of the future and its extensive districts, each with exceptional visual flavor, inhabitants and chances to earn cash. Interact with members of powerful gangs who rule the streets of Night City.
Take the riskiest job of your life and go after a prototype implant that is the key to immortality. Guided by the legendary Rockerboy, Johnny Silverhand (played by Keanu Reeves), you will change the course of the corporate-ruled world forever. All this while listening to an intoxicating soundtrack from artists like Run the Jewels, Refused, Grimes, A$AP Rocky, Gazelle Twin, Ilan Rubin, Richard Devine, Nina Kraviz, Deadly Hunta, Rat Boy, and Tina Guo.
