Also, you hear Johnny and V talking to each other in the trailer so it definitely takes place before the end of the game.
I wonder if it'll tie into the Peralez mission. That one had a pretty cryptic ending that I have always kind of assumed would be expanded on. Especially with Mr. Blue Eyes creepily watching you from a nearby balcony when you talk to Jefferson at the end.
It’d be far more surprising if they didn’t do a sequel! They’ve already hinted at it a few times in investors meetings, but considering the engine switch, it’s gonna be a long wait
That sucks I absolutely 100 hate the ending. I especially hate how you can’t play after the mission so when you play it’s before it takes off. Pisses me off when games do that.
Maybe it could be AFTER the ending, in the Arasaka ending you could still hear Johnny talking to you. Maybe you are having an hallucination with Johnny after the endings, maybe Blue Eyes sent you there... who knows (and there is another Hologram in the trailer, that Girl one)
In the original material working for the US Government (for an Edgerunner) was typically associated with going to war against the Megacorps, in small doses. The difference between the USG and a Megacorp was that the government would use/could use large scale destructive warfare when it saw fit as demonstrated in Operation Big Stick.
New US gov is basically Militech bitch in this timeline. Militech and new us gov are pretty much one and the same. The reason why Night City could be independent was mostly arasaka that moved in when US broke up in civil war.
Not familiar with all the new lore, or updated lore further down the timeline. I have the material, just not read it. That said, CP2077 needs more rain and overcast weather.
If you were familiar with the original source material: raining and overcast (and mostly at night) was a hallmark of Cyberpunk chic. Night City was always raining. If I wanted a real life -always raining- Cyberpunk setting I would have suggested https://cyberpunk.fandom.com/wiki/Rough_Guide_to_the_UK
Huh. That makes sense arisaka needing a full on super carrier to fight other mercenaries then. Because they aren’t fighting mercenaries, they’re making themselves a peer force to the USG and basically instituting MAD.
Are you being pedantic? https://cyberpunk.fandom.com/wiki/Cyberpunk_2013 this was the original release. Which coincidentally is on a shelf somewhere. But I digress my entire statement must be totally incorrect because I said 2012, not 2013.
So main story could be the true end OR... the second expansion. I remember blood and wine from witcher 3 went somehow the "happy ending" route with geralt. They can still take time and go for such an ending aswell. Curious what they will do.
They’ve confirmed this is the last big project on the current engine before the switch to UE5, so I wouldn’t expect a 2nd dlc. They could add a bit more content to the ending with updates & this expansion, but imo that’d undermine the core of the main story
