Cyberpunk 2077: See the ‘Tools of Destruction’ featurette


CD Projekt Red released a trio of Cyberpunk 2077 featurettes on Monday. Each of the videos offers a fresh look at the hotly anticipated RPG.

‘Tools of Destruction’ focuses on the varied arsenal in ​Cyberpunk 2077,” the Polish developer said in a press release. “Guns, melee, and cyberware weaponry are all demonstrated, highlighting numerous ways players can engage in direct combat during their adventure through the most dangerous city of the dark future.”

High-tech “smart weapons,” shotguns, katanas, deadly body modifications — this game gives you the tools you need to kill whoever gets in your way. It’ll be fun to take a backstory (“lifepath”), build a created character, and then craft a play style around your antihero or outcast.

If you’re looking to delve into the lore of Cyberpunk before the game hits, Dark Horse Books has just released The World of Cyberpunk 2077, written by Marcin Batylda. It’s a 192-page, in-universe look at the characters and history of Night City.

The game itself is set to release on November 19, 2020, for PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One. Versions for Google Stadia, PS5, and Xbox Series X will follow, with PS4 and Xbox One players getting access to a free upgrade to the next-gen version when those become available.
