Cyberpunk 2077 – the long-awaited game by Witcher studio CD Projekt Red, is about a place called Night City. It boasts of vast virtual city with a complex narrative and roleplaying system filled with retro-future cyberpunk visuals influenced by the 80s and 90s.
Through these rich visuals, Cyberpunk 2077 reimagines a world completely different to what it is today. It depicts a hyper-stratified society that rewards cruelty, exploits vulnerability, and commercializes absolutely everything.
Any quick snapshot from the game displays advanced realistic graphics, no doubt upping the immersive experience. Some pictures are so pretty they look like art, not a still from a game. It’s a far leap from art and graphics in games from the past, which only makes one wonder what games will look like in the future. Much like how the art in Cyberpunk 2077 completely reimagines a new world with new tech, perhaps advancements in technology will completely reimagine how we see and perceive art.
Cyberpunk 2077 is set to release on December 10.
