What you need to know

  • Cyberpunk 2077 is an upcoming open-world RPG from CD Projekt RED, the creators of the Witcher 3.
  • The game has acquired a ton of hype and excitement, and is one of the most anticipated games of the year.
  • Night City Wire is a stream that details parts of the game ahead of its launch on November 19, 2020.
  • The third episode airs September 18, 2020, and will include a tour of the city, overview of its gangs, and will talk about the original musical score.

Few games have manged to keep the hype train running like Cyberpunk 2077, and CD Projekt RED is looking to keep the exictement going with another episode of Night City Wire. The third episode of CD Projekt RED's Cyberpunk themed stream will air September 18, 2020 at 6pm CEST (11am CT, 12pm ET) on their Twitch channel, and will give fans and interested gamers a sneak peak at a few more aspects of life inside of Night City.

Episode two focused on weapons, lifepaths, and more, but episode three is going to go a slightly different direction and focus on the landscape of Night City, the numerous gang that occupy territories inside its borders, and how the original score for Cyberpunk 2077 came to be. All of these facets play very important parts in the complicated puzzle that is Cyberpunk 2077, but I'm particularly interested in hearing more of the original score, and how it differs from Samurai, the punk rock band led by Keanu Reeve's in-game character.

Cyberpunk 2077 is still on track for a holiday 2020 launch, so here's hoping there are no more delays, and we can all get our hands on CD Projekt RED's ambitious game right after setting up our new Xbox Series X or Xbox Series S next-gen consoles.
