Gamedev Industry Congratulates CD Projekt RED on Cyberpunk 2077's Launch

Famous developer studios congratulated CD Projekt Red on their successes related to the launch of Cyberpunk 2077. They even prepared special graphics for this occasion.

IN A NUTSHELL:
  • The devs of Deus Ex, Observer, Kingdom Come: Deliverance and many other developers celebrated the release of Cyberpunk 2077 by posting congratulations on their social media;
  • Most of them are adorned with creative graphics using the characters from CD Projekt Red's game.

Everyone knows about the release and success of Cyberpunk- without exceptions. The floor was taken by reviewers, ordinary gamers, as well as people completely unrelated to the industry. Some studios have also have added their two cents in the Internet discussion. They congratulated the developers, and the form of their wishes can really make you smile.

A toast to CDPR was raised by Square Enix, among others, which is famous for another famous cyberpunk series, namely Deus Ex. On the facebook page of the aforementioned franchise, there are graphics available, on which we can see V partying with Adam Jensen. That's something we would definitely like to see in future DLCs.

A lot of warm words were also sent from the side of other Polish developers - a very nice gesture showing local solidarity in the industry. The support for CD Projekt Red was shown by, among others, Bloober Team known mainly from Layers of Fear and Observer. On their image we can see the protagonist of the latter game, played by Rutger Hauer, who you can also associate with Blade Runner. Next to him we see (at least partially) Johnny Silverhand.

Congratulations were also sent by game such developers as Anshar Studios (Gamedec), One More Level (Ghostrunner) and Tate Multimedia (Kao the Kangaroo), whose ingenious graphic (V transformed into a certain Australian mammal) can be seen at the top of the article. The most striking feature is the hashtag #PolishGamedevFTW, . It is simply nice to see such pictures.

Czech devs from Warhorse Studios also spoke on the social media and it seems that they won the competition for the best use of Photoshop magic. They made Henry from Kingdom Come: Deliverance into a cyberpunk mercenary.

His adventure with journalism began with a personal blog, the name of which is no longer worth quoting. Then he interpreted Iranian dramas and the Joker, writing for cinematography journal, which, sadly, no longer exists. His writing credentials include a degree in film studies, but his thesis was strictly devoted to video games. He has been writing for Gamepressure since March 2020, first writing a lot about movies, then in the newsroom, and eventually, he became a specialist in everything. He currently edits and writes articles and features. A long-time enthusiast of the most bizarre indie games and arthouse cinema. He idolizes surrealism and postmodernism. He appreciates the power of absurdity. Which is probably why he also tried soccer refereeing for 2 years (with so-so results). He tends to over-philosophize, so watch out.
