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.

The open-world action-adventure RPG will become available to Nintendo players for the first time ever, giving them the opportunity to step into the shoes of cyber-enhanced mercenary V and fight for glory and survival in the dark future. Players can explore Night City, one of the most immersive worlds in gaming, across both the base game and its spy-thriller expansion Phantom Liberty, available together in one ultimate package.

“We are delighted to bring the immersive world of the dark future to Nintendo players for the first time! Thanks to the Nintendo Switch 2 system, you can transport yourself to the City of Dreams at home or on the go,” said Adam Badowski, Game Director of Cyberpunk 2077.

Cyberpunk 2077: Ultimate Edition is optimized for every mode of play, offering new and exciting ways for Nintendo players to up their fun in the city of the future. The game is designed to take advantage of the new features available with the Nintendo Switch 2 system, meaning players can pick up their Joy-Con 2 controllers and try out motion controls during combat, turn on Gyroscope Mode for pin-point precision, tap, swipe, or pinch through menus or inventories, or use the Joy-Con 2 (R) as a mouse control.

“This is the most cyberpunk way to play Cyberpunk 2077,” Badowski added. “With every new feature, players can take center stage in the action to become the ultimate edgerunner.”

Cyberpunk 2077: Ultimate Edition will be available for purchase in a physical 64 GB game card or through a download on the Nintendo eShop for Nintendo Switch 2. Additional language packs can be downloaded from the Nintendo eShop for Nintendo Switch 2, which may affect the final size of the game.

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.
