I really love the whole Cyberpunk world, and just hope they make a game similar to 2077, but… better? Less shitty start, more balanced gameplay, that’s pretty much all I wish for

I’ve been thinking a bit lately about how, arguably, the setting thus far and 2077 in particular, are about the idea of “what do you choose to do with the time you have left, when it’s already too late to keep it from ending?”
I think they’re *exquisite* at exploring that concept. Deeply moving from top to tail. But I’m not sure there’s much more to be extracted from that, from the story as it is.
So I find myself hoping that Orion is about “when you’ve already given up and made your peace, what do you do when you get a reason to start trying again?”
And, more specifically (and more particular to my interests,) I really hope that the plot involves the Blackwall finally coming down, and the “hostile, incomprehensible daemons” that are the AIs on the other side turning out to be the same kind of fucked up and confused individuals doing their best as the humans have been the whole time.
“If the AI breaks free, it will kill us all” is a good motivator to hang over a plot. But what I’d love to see is “the AI has broken free, and some of them are asking *us* for help to keep the others from killing *them.”*

Speculation: It is grounded in a future version of Night City (Maybe after the next Arasaka/Millitech war) Night City is a little different due to their influences (With the Unreal Engine, possibly a bigger and more fleshed out Night City and surrounding areas) we do have a new mission/exploration area The Crystal Palace in where we can get more missions and/or a casino heist.
Night City has been upgraded and expanded upon with more Merc missions – faction missions – no NCPD missions – garages and chop shops. More Internal Cyberware options and new physical exterior Cyberware options (Full Lizzy Wizzy lol)
And much more!

As much as I love 2077, there’s a lot to improve on. Lifepaths are basically pointless, besides giving it a bit of Rp flavor. Not much happens in the game organically. You have to seek out almost every gig and sidequest, you’re never just walking through the city, and something unexpected happens, it’s always a checklist. I’d love to be able to boot up, and just go about a day and not know exactly where it’s gonna lead.
Side activities would be nice, like gambling for example. Better clothing and cyberware options, as well as being able to not have any cyberware for more rp options.
An intro that isn’t a slog would be nice. Better npc behavior beside just them walking back and forth or standing in groups.
New game+ is a no brainer, I still don’t get how we don’t have that in the game, not like it’s a well balanced experience to begin with.

I’d love to see some faction based loyalty rewards or interactions based on life path choices. For example, completing certain side missions for the Valentinos could reward you with their backing in dialogue options and rewards but lock you out of any future “friendly” interactions with 6th Street.
Or… side with no gang & become public enemy number one lol
I hope they make the world feel more alive and more engaging than just being a pretty asset
Asbani09
My pc can’t run it.
aj-adolfo
Personally I hope they don’t do a “time is running out” style story for the main plot, as it kind of creates an urgency that contradicts with the player’s freedom to take their time and explore Night City. However, I don’t want a plot without that level of stakes and drama, and I don’t want a light-hearted Cyberpunk. I’m sure they’ll find a creative way to plot this out.
zilentzap
There’s so much work they have to do, increasing the R in RPG. more interaction with the world kinda like RDR2. Your decisions and background should matter a lot.

It won’t be in night city.
Hear me out. We can’t go back to night city because it’s already been done, and making a slightly bigger ret con’d night city won’t make the majority of players excited. Just how GTA moves location each game.
I think we see something on another continent in the same era with basically an entire new story. Maybe a couple decades on the future.

I hope we get more than NC and its surroundings. I’d like to see what the rest of the country looks like. Gimme a map as big as Witcher 3
bubblesort33
I missed the original street vibes of Cyberpunk in the expansion. It didn’t feel very 80s, or anime inspired anymore. I hope the expansion goes back to that original feel. I generally liked the base game, and quests more. This being a new studio full of American talent, I hope this can live up to the OG and not feel like it was build by Ubisoft.
SyntheticDreams2099
I speculate that cyberpunk Orion will be set within the same universe of 2077. Furthermore, I think it will be developed and released by Cd Projekt Red. But don’t quote me on that.

Are people speculating that the ending where you lose all your mods might be the ending that leads into this?

My speculation is it will run with 15 fps and it will get better at some point and shoot up to 30 and then eventually be playable at consistent 60 + where you would have to spend at least 5k on a new system to run it. Sounds good to me

What im going to say will be controversial on two points.
1. I feel like the game **needs** to be in night city given its unique status.
2. I hope they made a (take this with a grain of salt) a bethesda like mod system wherein they take the most popular pc mods and port them to console so thst console players can enjoy some of the mods.
Sicktacular
I just want an upgradable/customizable hideout for a merc group that your character (and friends characters?) are a part of. Inside there is a holo-table that from time to time receives holo-messages from fixers detailing contracts they need fulfilled. You can go solo for a greater reward/higher challenge, or decide to bring a friend or an NPC netrunner/techie merc with you to help you get the job done. This would all be randomly generated, and infinite side quests for cash, weapons, cyberware, influence, rep, etc.
Something like that to grind sounds fun.

I mean I’ve heard this point before, and I get where you’re coming from but I’m not convinced. V dies, no matter what choices they make. In most of them, they come back as an engram, but into a world on the verge of destruction by rouge AIs and by hubristic human groups that think they can use said AIs to decimate their enemies and control what is left. The next game won’t just be about V saving Vs world from an existential threat that exists only to V, it’ll be saving Vs world from an existential threat that also exists to everyone else.
No matter the choices the player makes, NC is set up to be ground zero of a fifth corporate war in which both sides (NUSA/Militech and Arasaka) intended to weaponize AIs that are also staged to use the opportunity to destroy humanity. Major actors are being manipulated from the shadows by whatever organization Mr Blue Eyes represents so they can benefit from the coming chaos. The player can cause either Arasaka or Militech to win if they choose their respective endings, but the majority of endings leave V on the search for a way to preserve or replace their body within six months of the raid on Arasaka tower. And even both the Militech and Arasaka endings leave open the possibility of V continuing to operate during this time period, aware or otherwise.
Vs story is brilliant, but very much incomplete.

Any chance we run into Morgan Blackhand?
Penis_Man-
What I have trouble with is the setting.
I don’t know how likely it will be that it takes place in the same year, or even Night City. Because if it takes place in night city, they have to change the map enough to make it feel new, and then justify doing so.
Night City really feels too Iconic to let go of so I could see a game set in Johnny’s time (2010’s-2020’s) but at the same time, they could choose a diferent location all together.
I think the most likely outcome is that we’ll get a game set in the earlier 2000’s or late 1900’s, that’s closer to the original boardgame. It would be set in Night City, and have some connection to Morgan Blackhand’s crew. You’d be playing along side all the old legends you meet in johnny’s (faulty) flashbacks.
Spider Murphy, Boa Boa, Rogue, and maybe some we didn’t meet, like Bartmoss.

Imagine if it’s just a huge patch that includes a new DLC story and also makes all the NPCs extremely lively and different things happening around the city.

My prediction List:
-2077 V will not get an canon ending, but I’m not sure how they will work around this. IF an ending gets canonized it will be (Don’t) Fear the reaper.
-Night City is getting rid of corpo influence, NightCorp (Mr.Blue Eyes) pulling the strings for this.
-Mr.Blue eyes will probably be our Boss/Contractor, without us knowing.
-World is on the brink of a new corpo/world war.
-rogue AI destroying the blackwall at some point and tries to instigate the world war
-Mr.Blue eyes is an friendly rogue AI like Del or Alt and tries to save the world.
-the player itself is an AI transfered to an proxy or bio body with fake memories. So we find this out near the ending.

All i want is more Edge Runner/Ghost in the Shell-Vibe, not only visually but everything … i think E3 2018 Cyberpunk, was pretty close. Hope they didnt scrap everything and saved some ideas and visual designs for Orion ..
TheAniReview
With Polaris (Northern star) having a connection to the actual story of Witcher 4 being located in the north it’s not crazy to speculate that Orion (or the Hunter) will have something to do with the MC being one or being a part of a group hunting people or it could also have something to do with Morgan Blackhand either being the Hunter himself or the Hunted.
ProfessorLeading
Storywise I gues they will expand the idea of rogue IAs much more, Idk maybe final boss is IA possesing your best friendo girl friend o a random corpo and 100% sure we will get morgan blackhand as a side character probably a ally or maybe as an enemy.
