In addition to announcing that GOG’s service would be coming to OS X, CD Projekt and CD Projekt RED announced this week that their upcoming sci-fi RPG’s official title will be Cyberpunk 2077, and that it will be an open-world game featuring a mature, multithreaded plot and lots of neat sci-fi weaponry.

Players will be able to kit themselves out with assorted weaponry and cybernetic implants, all within the original spirit of “rebellion, style, edge, [and] uncertainty” influenced by films like Blade Runner. The game’s depiction of Night City will include several locales familiar to fans of the tabletop game, and the gameplay sounds like it could resemble that of The Witcher games.

“While still working on The Witcher 2, we started thinking about creating a huge RPG set in a sci-fi world,” Cyberpunk 2077’s game director Mateusz Kanik said on its new website. “We wanted to take the universal values we used in the game about Geralt and show them from a different perspective. On top of that, we had plenty of ideas for features that couldn’t be implemented in The Witcher simply because they didn’t fit in the setting.”

Also:

Cyberpunk 2077 is being developed in coordination with Cyberpunk 2022 creator Mike Pondsmith. He said that, while several developers have tried to tackle his original system and setting before, he believes he has found “the Right Feel, the Right Tech, the Right Resources and (most important) the Right Team” in CD Projekt RED.

The official website for the game has also gone live, although at present it only features a development blog and some not-quite-safe-for-work (probably) wallpaper.

Also, The Witcher 2 will be coming to OS X. That wasn’t, I don’t think, part of the coverage about the move to OS X that I posted yesterday. The game is actually already available on the Mac portal of the Steam store. (For what it’s worth, it is also the most pirated game, apparently. At least at Rutgers University, which is evidently the educational institution that ranks highest for torrent traffic.)

Finally, CD Projekt RED also announced that REDKit, the modding toolset for The Witcher 2, will be released in early 2013. Forbes has a preliminary how-to guide available, giving some rudimentary tips on using the toolkit for mod creation.
