Cyberpunk 2077 drops the bombast for one last launch trailerWhispering in your cyber-ears.
Whispering in your cyber-ears.
Cyberpunk 2077is very nearly almost here. But while the marketing train is coming to an end, CD Projekt have one last trailer to show us before we dive into Night City proper with Keanu and the gang. Our (probably) final pre-release short gives us a glimpse at leading lad V’s no-good day in cybertown, waking up in the garbage with a rockstar in his head and a city wot needs burning. Can’t say I’ve had many worse hangovers than that.
In a somewhat jarring tone-shift to previous trailers, this week’s launch vid is remarkably subdued, and somewhat unsettling? Listen, I wasn’t prepared for a cyberlass to be whispering in my ears about getting bullets in my head.

Where previous vids were all synth-rock bombast, hacky gunfights and cyber shenanigans, this launch trailer gives us a more sombre view of Night City. V rides passenger with their trauma as they recover from a gig gone wrong, and it’s only near the end that we see the katanas come out for some slashy murder. Instead, lots of presumably important characters tell us about what a big deal we’re gonna be, with a couple even leading us off to the other room for some cyber-naughties.
Cyberpunk 2077is out this Thursday onSteam,GOGand theEpic Games Store. You canpre-load it now- although it’s worth noting you probably shouldn’t if you suffer from epilepsy, with some early reviews reporting thatcertain visual effects were triggering seizures. Not great!
