There's going to be a double dose of Cyberpunk coming out next month, as R. Talsorian Games announced that Cyberpunk Red TTRPG is set for release. The system lets players run around in Night City circa 2045, serving as a sort of prequel to the hotly-anticipated Cyberpunk 2077.
In a blog post, R. Talsorian lays out everyone you'll find in the Cyberpunk Red book. The digital version is set to release November 14 for $30. The physical edition will take a little longer, with it set to hit stores on November 19 for $60. Cyberpunk 2077 is also due to hit shelves and digital storefronts on November 19.
Cyberpunk Red, since it doesn't have all that pesky code to worry about, will offer many expanded options from what we've told the video game will have. There will be 10 roles, the classes of Cyberpunk – Rockerboys, Solos, Netrunners, Techs, Medtechs, Medias, Execs, Lawmen, Fixers, and Nomads.
There's also a Lifepath system just like in Cyberpunk 2077. Unlike the video game, however, players aren't limited to three options. Instead, players and GMs will come together to generate a more custom background and tie it into their role.
Those looking to escape our dark, corporate-owned present and go to a dark, corporate-owned future are going to have a great November.
