Cyberpunk 2077 Dev Asks Players Not To Spoil Story & Gameplay Until Launch

Cyberpunk 2077 Dev Asks Players Not To Spoil Story & Gameplay Until Launch

It shouldn’t be surprising that CDPR wants to protect both its game and fans from spoiled experience. Considering the amount of effort put into developing **Cyberpunk 2077 ** (not to mention all the crunch accusations), the Polish studio has all the rights to be precautious in warning content creators. The game might turn out to be the magnum opus for CDPR, and it understandably wants an unaffected reception from the commun

It's possible that CD Projekt Red has whipped up some sort of ARG in order to help promote the game. These are always entertaining and engaging advertising campaigns; Activision proved that earlier this year with an in-depth ARG to promote Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War . Activision went all-out on this project, mailing slide projectors to fans and giving them a cryptic website full of puzzles to solve, and even a copy of classic text adventure game Zork . These efforts certainly paid off for Activision and were well in line with the conspiracy-heavy setting of the game. Cybernight might be a similar project, perhaps giving fans the chance to participate in some sort of digital heist. Or maybe it's the name of a mission in the game, or a special event CD Projekt Red will be hosting on release

Ruppert's recent post on the matter ends with a simple message: " Be better, please ." This kind of plea for simple acts of empathy, that should truly take no effort, is the rallying cry each and every time topics of this nature resurface. Evidently, the gaming community, at least as it exists on social media, still has plenty of growing to

For some unfathomable reason, Liana Ruppert's helpful warnings triggered something else: insensitive trolls. Since posting the PSA on Game Informer and Twitter, the journalist has received a series of unsolicited videos, many of which purport to be those offering support. In a follow-up Twitter post, however, Ruppert says that some toxic gamers have instead sent clips of flashing imagery that can " induce photosensitive triggers ," which is particularly terrible since Ruppert has confirmed that she is epileptic and suffered a " bad seizure " while playing the game. She's since warned others who are sharing her posts that if they, too, suffer from epilepsy and get sent a suspicious video, it is best to avoid viewing

CD Projekt Red is looking into the possibility of removing epilepsy triggers from _Cyberpunk 2077 _ . CD Projekt Red's new open-world game has been one of the most anticipated titles in the industry for a good eight years now, and after numerous delays, fans are finally ready for its December 10th release later this week. Reviews of the game are coming in, and critics seem to have largely deemed it to be worth the wa

Preload times are even more spread out. Xbox players can preload their games now; PlayStation users can download on the December 8, with no specific time given; PC gamers on GOG can start their preload on December 7, 12 PM CET (3 AM PST), and those on Steam and Epic Games Store can start a few hours later at 5 PM CET (8 AM P

_Cyberpunk 2077 _ has teased a mysterious upcoming event of some kind called "Cybernight." CD Projekt Red's open world RPG has been at the top of many players' wishlists for years now, having charmed countless gamers with its vision of a gorgeous, massive Cyberpunk 2077 patch notes|Https://Cyberpunk2077fans.com/ playground, full of missions to run, crimes to commit, and NPCs to befriend, antagonize, and even roman

With press copies of **Cyberpunk 2077 ** being sent to reviewers and content creators, developers from CD Projekt Red are asking early players to restrain from spoiling the game’s story and gameplay until launch. Quite recently, the studio has also abandoned its initial plans to reveal early information regarding future DLC that will be instead detailed in 2

Whatever Cybernight is, it'll be hard pressed to get fans more excited for the game than they already are. People are so impatient that they've already started making VR porn parodies of a game that's still a week away at best. It's been a long, hard wait for _Cyberpunk 2077 _ fans. Hopefully these bereft gamers will be able to take part in whatever Cybernight is with a copy of the game finally in h

Unfortunately, gamers who are excited for the new title have had a very long wait to contend with. Cyberpunk 2077 's development period has been achingly long, and it keeps getting longer due to a long list of repeated delays. Currently its release is scheduled for December 10th, only about a week away at the time of this writing. The December release date is the result of the most recent delay, which pushed the game back from a previously predicted November release and came as such a shock that the developers working on it didn't even know until after the news had gone live publi

Now that fans are in the most recent final stretch leading to the game's release, they're surely starting to get impatient. The official Cyberpunk 2077 Twitter account has taken to stoking these fans anticipation online. Earlier today the account published a brief voice clip, apparently from the protagonist of the game, informing listeners that she's received word of a big job coming up that she will need help with. This message certainly fits with the game's heavy themes of violence and crime , but the nature of this job, and the average Twitter follower's role in it, are unclear. Even more enigmatic is the "Cybernight" hashtag which has been appended to this transmiss
