Six episodes means Davies built the show to show the fast passage of time in the age of technological and digital progress. In many ways, Years and Years is a Cyberpunk soap opera It features all the tropes of Cyberpunk Science Fiction: a dystopian near-future, the pervasiveness of a globally-linked digital society, transhumanism, but they've become[...]

CD Projekt Red's big project, Cyberpunk 2077, has hit E3 hard with a new trailer As always, though, we're both baffled and amazed by the game that just seems to be a bit all over the place. The trailer showed some character dialogue, random cursing, human body modification, the world's creepiest in-game AI character, and even a[...]

CD Projekt Red's Cyberpunk 2077 is on everyone's E3 wishlist this year, alongside Hideo Kojima's Death Stranding, however we haven't known what to expect from Cyberpunk or CD Projekt for this year's E3 until today. Global Community Lead at CD Projekt Red Marcin Momot took to Twitter to confirm that Cyberpunk 2077 will not be playable at E3 this year[...]

This is a great opportunity that challenges us to deliver content unique to our talents to fans all over the world." – Mitsuhisa Ishikawa, President & CEO, Production I.G, Inc. Ghost in the Shell was originally a manga created by Shiro Masamune back in 1989 and is now the longest-running Cyberpunk franchise in the world, spawning anime[...]

The makers of Ghost in the Shell could have chosen from a wide range of stories involving cyberpunk, hacking, espionage, and geopolitics on top of its ongoing existential themes but instead opted for the plot that made the story as boring and uninteresting as possible. I suppose no one has really talked about how bad the[...]

Cameron and Rodriguez show they're fully aware of that. I was impressed that the script by Cameron and Laeta Kalogridis (who created the Birds of Prey TV series back in 2002 and was most recently the showrunner of the Netflix series adaptation of Richard Morgan's cyberpunk novel Altered Carbon) takes separate plotlines from the first four[...]

CD Projekt Red's upcoming game Cyberpunk 2077 is shrouded in mystery as the game is still in development However, a recent report by PlayStation Lifestyle indicates that a hacking mechanic might be one of the gameplay systems involved in the futuristic RPG. PlayStation Lifestyle's piece revolves around screenshots shared by Redditor bboymurchant which show a Facebook Messenger conversation between[...]

CD Projekt Red has reiterated that it will holdfast on the first person perspective of Cyberpunk 2077. The first person perspective of Cyberpunk 2077 has been a big sticking point for some fans The CD Projekt Red fanbase has come accustomed to The Witcher's third-person perspective, something much more at home with "serious" RPGs Traditionally, most[...]

CD Projekt Red has put up a mysterious stream, hinting at something likely Cyberpunk 2077 related. I think everyone is clambering to learn more about Cyberpunk 2077 The developer of The Witcher taking on a huge, well… cyberpunk sci-fi is something that will pique just about everyone's interest to some degree It's hard to not let[...]

Zihao impresses his new sponsors, and they plan for the fighter's cybernetic upgrades. Nu Way #1 cover by Alex Konat and John Starr Nu Way #1 blends cyberpunk future-based science fiction with martial arts spiritualism and a hint of the MMA fighting mindset. Cyborg cage-fighting is a decent starting point for a comic I say that as someone[...]

The mixture of cyberpunk futurism and mysticism is an interesting combination Also, giant rainbow-colored dragons are a good addition to any story. The characters aren't established especially well in the opening to this volume for newcomers such as I Grace seems peaceful yet arrogant Sonia and Malika are a fairly cute couple, and their dialogue makes[...]

It's not bad, but it is a fairly generic cyberpunk environment. Midnight Task Force #1 has a decent lead character and some interesting ideas pushing the narrative forward, but the book has far too many problems to recommend The story relies too much on cliché, a lot of the dialogue is spotty, and the plot itself[...]

Cyberpunk 2077 has finally reemerged from the depths and given fans a new look at the world CD Projekt RED is putting together. Well, it was about time As the Microsoft E3 Press Conference was winding down the stage was ready for one more surprise There was a lot of speculation before the show that the[...]

The book is quite gorgeous, and Vinicius Andrade's color art gives it that cyberpunk bluish atmosphere to add to the visual appeal of the book. Myopia: Rise of the Domes is a solid read for those who like their sci-fi hard and wordy The story is interesting, the characters are well formed, and the art is[...]

Oracle Colors does some solid work too, even though the extremes of the spectrum could be toned down somewhat to aid in the atmosphere. Cyber Spectre #1 has potential, but that potential is ignored by a comic that relies too much on the clichés of cyberpunk dystopian fiction and a main character who is all attitude[...]

Sunny Gho's color art is vibrant and highly contrasting, and it looks great with the wild and high-tech design of the world. God Complex #5 impresses with hits cyberpunk visuals, its high-concept plot of self-styled gods clashing for control, and the marriage of technology and religion therein Prasetya and Gho impress with their art style, and[...]

credit// CD Projekt Red In a recent talk at the Pareto Securities Gaming Seminar developer CD Projekt Red tauted their new project, Cyberpunk 2077, as a "more ambitious project" than The Witcher III This story was first reported by Segment Next and later picked up by PC Gamer. While this is objectively good news for the studio, it might have you[...]

Cyberpunk 2077 and The Witcher developer, CD Projekt RED, has come out and said they will be 'participating' at E3 this year. A few weeks back, a story started doing the rounds, saying that Cyberpunk 2077 was going to be at E3 this year and be playable in some fashion It was all rumour and reports though, meaning there[...]

A report currently making the rounds on the Internet suggests that Cyberpunk 2077 might finally be about to reemerge from the shadows. Last week, Cyberpunk 2077  made a bit of a stir for the first time in a while with the official twitter for the game posting its first tweet in four years There was nothing much[...]

Tim Seeley has a really enthralling Blade Runner-esque cyberpunk dystopia here, and I look forward to seeing it evolve Petraites and Lesko give it some really good visuals, and the overall comic earns itself a recommendation Give it a try.

Then there's the organization Lumico, which took over the city afterwards. Finally, the two meet a group called the Switch, who promise to help them if they agree to cooperate with this resistance group. Centralia 2050 cover by Michelle Stanford Like many anime and cyberpunk sci-fi tales, Centralia 2050, written and illustrated by Michelle Stanford, wears its Akira[...]

[rwp-review-recap id="0"] Cypulchre is a novel by Joseph MacKinnon. With a name like that, you know it has to be cyberpunk — and if you are familiar with the genre, you will be on comfortable, familiar ground We've got a virtual world released before it had its bugs ironed out — bugs that can turn you into[...]

[rwp-review-recap id="0"] I have a passion for futuristic cyberpunk stories where the mind and the machine meet Blade Runner, Ghost In The Shell, Ex Machina—all of these have a soft spot in my heart and eventual hard drive sitting between both hemispheres of my brain So when a game developer decides to make their own version[...]

Earlier this week it was pointed out that the term "cyberpunk," which has been around for over three decades when it was coined by writer Bruce Bethke in the November 1983 issue of Amazing Science Fiction Stories, was trademarked by CD Projekt RED The developer behind The Witcher series as well as the upcoming title[...]

That's a bit broad and frankly annoying, but it's an annoying side-effect of a capitalistic society that cares more about legal verbiage than the contents of your closet and bookshelf. The trademark CD Projekt filed only gives them sole rights to use the word "CYBERPUNK" in branding, advertising, and the like So, they can go ahead[...]

I had a nagging feeling that I had seen this all before. Then it dawned on me: much of the trippy style of Legion has been lifted from Shinya Tsukamoto's 1989 indie Japanese cyberpunk-horror movie Tetsuo, or as the West retitled it, Tetsuo: The Iron Man ("Tetsuo" already means "iron man" in Japanese, so the Western[...]

Logic Artists and IMGN.PRO have come up with a Film Noir inspired video game, which they've decided to call Bruce. Alright so it's a film noir cyberpunk hybrid that somehow seems to work really, really solidly at a straight noir drama that just so happens to include tech And unlike most of IMGN's games, this one will[...]

Cyberpunk 2077 is going to be a fascinating project Seeing CD Projekt RED go into the sci-fi space should be a real treat The real question now though is how soon can we expect it? I initially thought quite a few years from now, but the game has been making a lot of noise recently. In[...]

Back in the early 1990s, when I was still in film school and back in London for the summer, Eitan told me he was working on a Cyberpunk adventure game for the Philips CD-i We were both heavily into William Gibson and Neuromancer and Eitan managed to get his pitch for this game greenlit They[...]

Lavie Tidhar and Matt Wallace both have books out through him and now Terry's looking to add Dead Girls to his roster.
