One of the main things that CD Projekt RED has been discussing about their upcoming futuristic RPG are the consequences that players will encounter while playing. Not only will they be in full force, but they can be lasting, and there is no turning back. No “Game Over” screens will be featured when you fail a quest in Cyberpunk 2077 – you’ll just have to live with the repercussions. That said, this also applies to the tech that you install in V.

As many likely know, the Cyberpunk genre is full of self-manipulating through the use of advanced technology, and the upcoming title from CDPR is no different. According to Quest Designer Patrick Mills, however, players can overdo it when it comes to using cybernetics in Cyberpunk 2077.

“All the travails of the flesh fade away, and you become a perfect machine of chrome,” Mills states in the November issue of EDGE magazine. “But you had to buy those body parts from someone, and now you’re in debt to them; if you need parts, you’ve got to go to their store. You have this very utopian idea of being liberated by technology. And it’s like, not so fast–you haven’t solved the problems. The problems are still there, and technology actually makes them worse. ‘High tech, low life’ is one of Mike’s [Pondsmith, Cyberpunk 2020 creator] mottos.”

For those who have played Pondsmith’s tabletop RPG, this is much akin to the cyberpsychosis mechanic. Installing too much cybernetic technology could prove harmful to one’s own mental health, providing some rather negative outcomes if too far gone. We saw a bit of this in the 48-minute gameplay demo that CD Projekt RED revealed last month. The Maelstrom gang that V and Jackie go to acquire the bot from during the “Going Pro” quest are on their path to becoming more machine than human. They’re also seemingly a bit unstable, perhaps as a result of all of the modifications.

Either way, we are beyond excited to see what CDPR is putting into Cyberpunk 2077, which is currently in development for PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One. No release date is set as of now, but keep it tuned to Don’t Feed the Gamers as this story develops.
