Cyberpunk 2077 News

The three-year quest to solve a cryptic puzzle spanning Cyberpunk 2077 and The Witcher 3 has been turned on its head by new clues and controversial datamining

Giant statues broadcasting a mysterious code, monks telling me to open my throat chakra, an ominous symbol added to The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, and now: a laptop displaying ancient Slavic text dropped into a middle of a landfill and a Johnny Silverhand-themed Wolfenstein 3D clone that unlocks a secret server farm. This is a side of Cyberpunk 2077 I never knew existed, FF:06:B5...

Cyberpunk 2077 2.0 adds a touch of Doom with a new secret arcade game

Cyberpunk 2077's recent 2.0 update has made some big changes to the game, but it's also added some extras here and there, like a brand new arcade game.

The last update before 2.0 arrived, patch 1.6, added in an arcade game you could play in Cyberpunk 2077 called Roach Race, a simple pixel art game set within The Witcher where you play as Geralt's faithful companion Roach. It was a nice addition to the game, and update 2.0 added in a new arcade game called Trauma Drama too, another side scrolling pixel art game with more of a run and gun slant. But it turns out there's another game that's been added in with 2.0 that wasn't mentioned in the game's patch notes.

As spotted on the game's subreddit, the game in question is called Arasaka Tower 3D, a Doom-like game in which you play as none other than Johnny Silverhand, your constant companion in the main game. You'll probably find it to be a bit familiar, as you're playing as Silverhand during his attack on Arasaka Tower, something you experience first hand during an early flashback.

Elon Musk not in Cyberpunk 2077, despite viral rumors

Elon Musk does not have a cameo in Cyberpunk 2077 despite rumblings on the internet saying he's in the game. This is according to a senior CD Projekt RED staffer who worked on the game extensively.

You see, many online seem to think an NPC seen in a bathroom early in the game is Musk, but according to the game's senior quest designer Patrick K. Mills, this character is not the billionaire.

"That wasn't Elon musk, it looks nothing like him," said Mills on the social network formerly known as Twitter. "Who came up with this nonsense?"

Cyberpunk 2077's Phantom Liberty expansion is out soon, and it's a doozy: we gave it an 87% in our review, calling it a "splendid sendoff" to CD Projekt's troubled RPG. Those folks sure do know their way around a good expansion...
