Unique Upcoming AAA Games
Cyberpunk 2077
CD Projekt Red took the world by storm in 2015, as its action RPG, The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, broke storytelling boundaries, crafting an expansive fantasy world all the way. Now, everyone wants to see what they can create using a sci-fi landscape in Cyberpunk 2077.
What we have seen so far from the game points to a huge, diverse world similar to The Witcher 3. That doesn’t mean Cyberpunk is a reskin though, as it looks to have an even more immersive and interactive world than The Witcher.
NPC cycles, unique side stories, and the sheer scope of Night City make the world feel like its own living organism. While plenty of games have boasted that their setting itself was a character in the past, Cyberpunk 2077 could be the first title that actually delivers on that idea.
The game’s pen and paper system also has the possibility to redefine how RPGs craft experience systems, as it takes its ideas directly from the board game that inspired it, Cyberpunk 2020.
Worst case scenario with all of this is that the elements of the game are just vast improvements on preexisting mechanics and methods, and that is okay with me.
