Following in the steps of The Witcher and Gwent, Cd Projekt Red's highly anticipated Cyberpunk 2077 will be getting a card game. It'll be called Cyberpunk 2077: Afterlife, and will be made by CMON, who previously created both the Bloodborne card and board games. In Afterlife, which is a physical card game, as opposed to Gwent's digital one, you play as a Fixer in the game, and your goal is to obtain cards which will be used to take on different missions, and help you raise your "Street Cred". CMON mentioned that Cyberpunk 2077: Afterlife - The Card Game will be available sometime in 2020.

Ehhh
Its a side thing
Gwent was alright

This is one of those side things for promo.

Because every game needs a minigame.

At least it looks like it's a full box and you don't have to spend $500 on lootboosterpacks.

Wake the fuck up, samurai. We have a deck of cards to burn.

 

[DarkCoffe64]

Is this like that Artifact thing or something?

Isn't it a bit too early to get a card game? Not to mention that just because something is popular it doesn't mean the card game spinoff will be.

Edit: But of course, money dear boy.

It is what I was thinking as well.

Shouldn't the game come out first lol

Like aren't card game spinoffs usually reserved as no consequence in game games or a desperate attempt for the publisher to make more cash on a sunsetting game?

Money makes the world go round I guess.

I remember the early 90s Bat movies card games, in a lot of places worldwide they came out before the movie premier down there.

I had a Batman 2 movie card deck.

Is about money dear boy.

 

[LucasM3]

I think I remember Pogs in the 90's coming out before releases as well.

So...those too poor to afford a powerhouse PC will still be able to claim to play Cyberpunk 2077?


Ahem...but tomfoolery aside: cmon is actually quite a seasoned publisher of board games. Some of their works include Blood rage, rising sun and Lorenzo Il Magnifico.

While I'm personally not too familiar with their games, this certainly won't be an easy cash grab (ahem...unlike that mega man board game, which was made by a publisher they themselves probably never had heard of before ).

If I had to compare cmon with a video game company, I'd position them somewhere in the area of platinum games: not exactly the AAA powerhouse category, but a strong reputation on delivering decent products.

Where does it say it will come out before the game? It just says 2020.

 

[tatumanu]

Finally a version I can play!

 

[Alysh_Graham]

I hope they don't alter Keanu Reeves appearance in this card game.

Can't it just be played in-game? That's how I'd rather play it.
