"It's been over 2077 days since we announced our plan to develop Cyberpunk 2077. We released a CGI trailer, gave some interviews and... went dark. Normal procedure for these kinds of things - you announce a game and then shut up, roll up your sleeves, and go to work. We wanted to give you The Witcher 3 and both expansions first, which is why this period of staying silent was longer than we planned. Sorry for that.

As soon as we concluded work on Blood and Wine we were able to go full speed ahead with CP2077's pre-production. But we chose to remain silent. Why? At some point, we made a decision to resume talking about the game only when we have something to show. Something meaningful and substantial. This is because we do realise you've been (im)patiently waiting for a very long time, and we wouldn't want anyone to feel that we're taking this for granted. On the contrary - it gives us a lot of extra motivation. The hype is real, so the sweat and tears need to be real, too :).

But to the point. Today is the day. If you're seeing this, it means you saw the trailer - our vision of Cyberpunk, an alternative version of the future where America is in pieces, megacorporations control all aspects of civilised life, and gangs rule the rest. And, while this world is full of adrenaline, don't let the car chases and guns mislead you. Cyberpunk 2077 is a true single player, story-driven RPG. You'll be able to create your own character and..., well, you'll get to know the rest from what we show at our booth at E3. Be on the lookout for previews!

Before we finish, you probably have some questions, right?

When? When we told you we would only release the game when it's ready, we meant it. We're definitely much, much closer to a release date than we were back then :), but it's still not the time to confirm anything, so patience is still required. Quality is the only thing that drives us - it's the beauty of being an independent studio and your own publisher.

How big? Seriously big, but..., to be honest, we have no bloody clue at this point in time. Once we put it all together, we will openly tell you what you can expect. And we promise we'll do this before we start talking about any pre-orders or ask anything of you.

Free DLC/Expansions/DRM? Expect nothing less than you got with The Witcher 3. As for DRM, CP2077 will be 100% DRM-free on PC.

Microtransactions? In a single player role-playing game? Are you nuts?

Once again, thank you for your patience. If you have a minute, do visit cyberpunk.net and share your opinion (about anything) with us. We read everything you post and we treat it very seriously.

Yours, CD PROJEKT RED Team"

What's interesting I find is 2077 days since CD Projekt Red announced Cyberpunk 2077.
If you want to find the hidden text image from the announcement trailer, go to 1:33 til the end of the video. Slow down the video because the secret appears for a second: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8X2kIfS6fb8

Free DLC/Expansions/DRM? Expect nothing less than you got with The Witcher 3.

This means players will expect at least the base game + 2 in-depth (as in their own plot, new characters, new settings, etc.) DLC expansions.

Edit: Geoff Keihley, producer/creator of the Game Awards, will talk with the CD Projekt Red devs about Cyberpunk 2077 on Tuesday (12 June 2018) at 5:30 PM PDT.

Also, they gave away a lot of Witcher 3 GOTY keys displayed at the beginning of the trailer. They are all gone

Well they aren't so greedy as EA or Bethesda (also not that big), so they will base their good PR on "no microtransactions" rule.

As far as its trailer went, could have been EA or Ubisoft as well, cyberpunk world and very standard trailer format. I guess it will be good, but the trailer itself is just every cyberpunk ever

I wonder how much you get to customize your character. Honestly CD Projeckt Red has decent games with real bland mc's that really pushes me out of it, (Well that and their combat)

I really hope they do this genre justice, 'cause I love it so much.

So I still have literally no idea what the game is about or even the genre. Just know the title and that cdpr is devolping it, that doesn't make me hopeful tbh.

So, does this mean they won't release it on Steam?

Could also mean Cyberpunk 2077 is sold on GOG while still having a Steam version just like how the Witcher games were released.
