CD Projekt to make a CYBERPUNK game

CD Projekt, the critically-acclaimed creators of The Witcher computer game franchise, have announced that they are working on a game based on Cyberpunk, the well-regarded 1980s pen-and-paper RPG (which is still going strong today). Their approach to the game sounds similar to that of The Witcher, with emphasis on making a 'mature game' for adult gamers with strong RPG mechanics.

The current version of Cyberpunk is set in the 2020s and depicts the world as a dystopia, with implants and computer technology being used for nefarious purposes by corporations and criminal gangs alike. The RPG is was heavily inspired by the 1980s works of William Gibson and Bruce Sterling. It was created by veteran RPG designer Mike Pondsmith with its first edition released in 1988. I've played in a few Cyberpunk games and found it to be a decent system.

The Cyberpunk game does not have an expected release date yet, but I'll be surprised if it's before next year at the earliest. Apparently CD Projekt, fuelled by both the success of The Witcher 2 and their GoG download service, are proceeding with this title and The Witcher 3 simultaneously, along with two smaller-scaled titles.
