'Cyberpunk 2077' Kicks Off The Board Game Crowdfunding Campaign

by Rainier on Sept. 3, 2024 @ 9:33 a.m. PDT

Cyberpunk 2077 is a narrative-driven, open world RPG set in the most vibrant and dangerous metropolis of the future — Night City.

Cyberpunk 2077 will be designed for mature and demanding players who expect to be treated seriously, and the game will be richly detailed, non-linear, and with a complex and gripping story.

The creators promise that “Cyberpunk 2077” will be true to the essence of the cyberpunk genre. Players will be thrown into the dark future of the year 2077 and into a world where advanced technologies have become both the salvation and the curse of humanity. A multi-thread, nonlinear story designed for mature players will take place in the sprawling metropolis of Night City and its surroundings. Players will have a chance to freely roam the open-world environment and visit places well known from the pen-and-paper RPG “Cyberpunk 2020”, including a combat zone completely taken over by gangs, the legendary Afterlife joint and the nostalgic Forlorn Hope.

In Cyberpunk 2077, the player will be thrown into a dark future. The metropolis of Night City is a stage set to tell the tale of one individual, raised on the streets, who tries to lift himself up from the gutter and find a way to survive amongst booster gangs and mega corporations in a city of filth and sin. Drugs, violence, poverty and exclusion haven’t disappeared by 2077, as people stayed as they were for centuries – greedy, closed-minded and weak. But not only ghosts of the past trouble mankind, but new issues have appeared. Psychos go on rampages and the streets are filled with junkies addicted to a new form of entertainment – the braindance, a cheap way to experience the emotions and stimuli of someone else, someone living a more exciting life.

CD PROJEKT RED and board game developer Go On Board proudly announce that Cyberpunk 2077 - The Board Game has now begun crowdfunding on Gamefound.

The tabletop adaptation brings to life the experience of Cyberpunk 2077 and features key characters from the video game, including V, Judy, Panam, and Jackie. The cooperative story-driven tactical action game gives 1–4 players the ability to explore a “what if?” scenario which alters a crucial event from the video game, branching out into a new story told throughout 13 diverse missions.

The Gamefound campaign, which garnered over 60,000 followers prior to the official start, features a first-day perk in the form of an alternate version miniature of V with mantis blades and a stretch goal which unlocks a Johnny Silverhand miniature and additional game mode. Cyberpunk 2077 - The Board Game is slated for release in December 2025 in several language versions.

The dynamic and fast-paced board game features a time pressure mechanic to recreate the experience of being a mercenary in Night City, featuring epic action moments, and over 50 Street Stories to make each playthrough diverse and unique. It also contains an additional Afterlife Mission Generator, which offers high replayability with dozens of single missions for players to create. To learn more about the game’s mechanics, a REDstreams special with board game creator Łukasz Woźniak and Franchise Content Strategy Lead Patrick Mills dives into the various elements available to players.

Players who wish to dive deeper into the lore of Cyberpunk 2077 can now pick up ‘The World Of Cyberpunk 2077’, a brand new book created in collaboration with Dark Horse Books. More details can be found here.

Cyberpunk 2077 is available for PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S and PC.
