Text from the video:

Welcome to the year 2077. More info: http://www.cyberpunk.net/

The teaser shows how the Psycho Squad might acquire a new member.

The Psycho Squad specializes in combating "psychos" -- individuals who overuse implants and substances that boost or otherwise alter the human body.

There comes a point when they overdose on these innovations, and their bodies start to rebel against their biological body parts as well as all things organic around them. Simply put, they start killing people, who they now derisively call "meatbags."

When a psycho goes on the rampage, strange things can happen. There's carnage, and the psycho might be taken down by regular police, but they're not always able to get the job done.

When things spin out of control, they call in MAX-TAC (Maximum Force Tactical Division), popularly called the Psycho Squad.

The hidden message (it's on the video]:

Do you like our latest creation? We certainly hope so! You may remember that we sometimes send you guys secret messages like this. it’s a great way for us to speak right to you instead of burying ourselves in corporate mumbo-jump. So let’s begin!

First of all—have you noticed all the details in our teaser (yes, it’s a teaser, we’ll make a proper trailer in the future)? If you know the Cyberpunk setting, there are some things you can spot, like implants—look for the weapon hands and the real skin—corporate emblems that should look familiar, and more happy hunting!

You’re probably curious about the release date. It’s currently scheduled a way off, in 2015, but in truth, the delivery date is more like, “when it’s done.” We will release Cyberpunk to you when we’re convinced it is nothing but pure, refined, unadulterated awesome. we want it to be the most kick ass futuristic RPG ever—ok, maybe this sounds pretty bully, but it is our actual goal! You judge if we deliver it!

Ok—and you may wonder why we announced our game so early before the release. The reason is that we’re still building our dev team. So if you are a talented dude or dudette, willing to work in a really different company (gamers rule & boring corporate stuff drools!) on a super ambitious project, send us your application right now: careers@cdprojektred.com

So, you want to know what kind of game Cyberpunk 2077 will be? The short description is that it will be a story-heavy, nonlinear, open world RPG based on the well known Cyberpunk pen & paper system and setting. Building open world games is something we are mastering right now, and we believe that properly joining nonlinear gameplay with excellent story telling will bring a totally new quality. Hmm. We’ll tell some more about it soon!

And that’s not all that’s new. We are about to reveal our other project, which is much closer to being completed. And yes, it will also be a fully open-world game with an intense story. You can probably guess the game we’re talking about. ;-) On the 5th of February it will all be clear.

So stay tuned, as we will have quite a lot to show and tell you soon!

We are waiting for you on our newly created forum called Afterlife—what other name could we have chosen for it?

CD Projekt RED Team

Ok, now we wait. Cyberpunk 2077 is the upcoming new game from CD PROJEKT RED (Witcher, Witcher 2). Its gonna be an open world, sory heavy non linear RPG based on Cyberpunk pen & paper system.

You know what? I cant wait! Sadly, its gonna be not sooner than 2014.

Here's the full press release:

CD Projekt RED studio has released a brand new CG teaser trailer for their upcoming game Cyberpunk 2077. The trailer shows a woman going on a rampage due to the amount of cybermodifications in her body. The Night City police try to intervene with the help of a member of an elite police called Psycho Squad. Watch the video here.

"The teaser shows how the Psycho Squad might acquire a new member. The Psycho Squad specializes in combating "psychos" – individuals who overuse implants and substances that boost or otherwise alter the human body. There comes a point when they overdose on these innovations, and their bodies start to rebel against their biological body parts as well as against all things organic around them. Simply put, they start killing people, who they now derisively call "meatbags."

When a psycho goes on the rampage, strange things can happen. There's going to be a lot of carnage, so the psycho might be taken down by regular police, but they're not always able to get the job done. When things spin out of control, they call in MAX-TAC (Maximum Force Tactical Division), popularly called the "Psycho Squad". And these guys are exceptional, these guys are crack troops. The fact that they're proud of that name tells you a bit about their mindset. They wear a badge with their official emblem on their right sleeve, but their left is reserved for their unofficial Psycho Squad emblem. It's primitively made and the image itself is on the crude side of things. It's not unlike a badge special force operators might make and wear to distinguish themselves from the ranks of grunts in any theatre of war". - says Adam Badowski, head of CD Projekt RED studio.

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 (a CD Projekt RED trademark) 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. For more info about the game go to cyberpunk.net

CDPR has proven to be such an awesome developer that not only do I want to support them because of the great games they've done but as well as being just pretty much being one of the best devs there are out at the moment.

Also pretty interesting if Witcher 3 is going to be totally open world, not sure how I feel about that but I am sure in the end I'll be wasting my sleep having to explore all the things right away. Trailer is amazing just like you'd expect from the previous one, they are really on their own level it seems like. Even if they are CG like the Witcher 2 one is it feels much more fitting to the game unlike some trailers, here's hoping for another awesome CD Projekt RED game!

certainly a flair for composition there. Very slick technical production, good cinematic and audio composition. Actual designs are a bit bland but I guess that's part of the genre and the technical work really makes it shine.

ceeeertainly interested in this one.

I totally don't like that song they're using there.

But if it's just nearly as cool as the Witcher games I'm in

The trailer seemed a bit, bland I guess, but I'm still really interested in the game due to the fact that it's CD Projekt Red who's making it. Witcher 1 and 2 were great games, and not enough future RPGs exists.

CD Projekt RED grew a whole lot due to W2's success. It can only mean good things for both the W3 and the Cybepunk games, because they can finally, for real, adopt a Blizzard-like "when it's ready" policy.

Very much gives off a Bladerunner vibe to me.

Looks interesting, but there's not much you can get from a CGI trailer. Really well made.

These guys have an amazing record with RPGs, so much so that I'm not calling bullshit on their promises for this game. If they can actually deliver on these claims they're making, this might be one of the coolest games I'll have ever played.

Highly interesting. These guys are in my opinion the best new talent on the scene with respect to action RPGs. Will be following this as time goes on; thank you OP for creating the thread.

Cool cinematic teaser and I love the song that they used. I have not played any of The Witcher games yet, but many people seem to love it. I will have to try them out whenever a sale comes along again.

i cant say if this is going to be one of the best RPG around, seeing there is nothing on the table about gameplay. seeing they have made forums to get good feedback and seeing many people demanding a mass effect 3 style gameplay, i will start hating this world more...

this is one of the very few themes that havent got ruined yet for me. lets hope they deliver the best. i am so sick of half-assed releases like me3 or many other new games...

oh and yeah, too much 2020 details on the video. that was awesome :D

I want it now. Usually teaser trailers aren't interesting. But this one is awesome. And, yeah, I agree, it does give off a Bladerunner vibe.
So again, I want it now!

I am also excited about The Witcher 3.

Thank you CD Projekt!

Completely stoked for this. the trailer doesn't give any info about gameplay or the actual game engine, but it gives one very important info to me: they nailed the Cyberpunk world and atmoshpere completely, and for that I am both happy and grateful.

Lukewarm on it since I'm the one guy on the planet who hated The Witcher games, but I like cyberpunk settings more than fantasy at this point. Also lukewarm due to the fact that augment rejection in this game manifests by turning you into HK-47 instead of, you know, killing you.

Funny thought, the first Cyberpunk (you know, the Book, dice and sheet RPG) was called Cyberpunk 2010, and it had the same context and world. The second edition was Cyberpunk 2020.

Now in 2013 (lol) they announce Cyberpunk 2077.

It is quite comical.

I'm looking forward to steal again a grav tank from MiliTech with my japanese Nomad, and my soldier mate, while the rock star distract the grunts singing and stripping and the netrunner fights against two cerberus attack programs.

Good old days of youth...
