CD Projekt gave a behind closed doors demo of Cyberpunk 2077 and we walked away very impressed. While it may not look quite like the developer's Witcher series, the "core" of what made those games special was present, "but in a while and exciting new shell that stands as something wholly its own."Since E3 2018, we've learned a bit more about Cyberpunk 2077, including that there will be multiple companions, abilities are based on three classes, and that the game is still very much in a "pre-alpha" state.While it may be a while until we get to play Cyberpunk 2077 and rumors of next-gen consoles are starting to appear, CD Projekt Red has said that they are "aiming for Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and of course PC as well."
