The waiting is almost over. Cyberpunk 2077 arrives on December 10 in Europe, but here in North America, we’ll get our hands on the most hotly anticipated game of 2020 later in the evening. You can preload the game right now, although you’ll only run into Johnny Silverhand ordering you to wait if you try to play Cyberpunk now.

Instead, take a look at the EULA. It’s a hoot.

Or you can take a look at the new trailer that CD Projekt Red just dropped. This one takes a massively different tone than pretty much all previous Cyberpunk trailers. There’s still a hint of crunchy guitars in the background, but whereas most Cyberpunk 2077 trailers have a loud, high-paced electronic backdrop, the launch trailer is whisper-quiet, slow, and almost sad.

There's still plenty of action of course. It starts off with V almost dying from a biochip containing Johnny Silverhand and then moves on to gunplay and explosions. But there's a lot of sad faces interspersed between the action, perhaps showing Night City's more tragic, desperate side. A reflection of our own world just made worse.

It's definitely a pivot away from 2018's E3 trailer, that's for sure. But at this point, this was probably the only new direction Cyberpunk's marketing could take.

Reviews are pretty much what we expected, with our very own Kirk McKeand giving Cyberpunk all five stars in his review, although he did note that bugs might hold Cyberpunk 2077 back a bit. He didn’t have that bad of a time going through 70 hours on PC, but others have noted some worse bugs that’ll have to get patched out soon after release.

Oh, and keep an eye out for Kojima. Apparently, he makes a cameo.

Cyberpunk 2077 is available for PC on GOG.COM, Steam and Epic, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, and Stadia from December 10, 2020. When you buy Cyberpunk 2077 on GOG.COM, 100% of your money goes to CD PROJEKT Group and supports their future projects.
