Cyberpunk 2077 is based on Mike Pondsmith's pen and paper roleplaying game, Cyberpunk 2020. Both versions are set in Night City, a gritty, dangerous playground filled with people attempting to survive in a transhumanist world. It's an ideal scenario for a video game, and Pondsmith had offers before CD Projekt Red stepped up.

As Pondsmith explains in the above behind-the-scenes video, he chose CD Projekt Red because the team was fanatical about the game and wouldn't try to change the feel of it. Cyberpunk 2077 is a mature version of Cyberpunk 2020, but more expansive, more tactile and more dangerous. Hear what Pondsmith has to say about his franchise going digital above, or just watch it for the beautiful shots of the rainy, nighttime cityscape that inspired the game's first trailer.

Beyond its new title, the game was also revealed to be a sandbox game set in Night City, a location from the original Cyberpunk 2020 tabletop pen-and-paper RPG on which the new game is based.

Cyberpunk 2077's official website launched today as well, containing a development blog and wallpaper-sized pictures of a blood-spattered half-naked robot women with blades coming out of her arms. Think there's a dexterity penalty for using those things?
