Don’t Expect Any Cyberpunk 2077 at The Game Awards 2018

Cyberpunk 2077 will not be appearing at this year’s Game Awards.  The studio’s community manager has clarified their intentions for the event, which are non-existent.

Marcin Momot, the community manager for CD Projekt Red, recently posted a tweet, stating that the company has no plans for the upcoming Game Awards event on December 6.

“We’re looking forward to seeing all the reveals and announcements during this year’s @thegameawards, however we’re not going to be showing anything there ourselves. We’ll share more details about @cyberpunkgame when we’re ready.

People have been waiting a long time for Cyberpunk 2077 to come out. It was initially announced in 2012, I believe. We were given practically no information about the game until the last year or so, where we get new trailers, gameplay videos, and advertising out the whackadoodle. With a number of other studios planning to release some new info at the Game Awards, people speculated toward CDPR’s intentions.

My sympathies to those excited for the upcoming sci-fi RPG, you’ll have to be left in the dar for a while longer. Until then, feel free to guess wildly about what Obsidian Entertainment is planning, or whether or not Alien: Blackout will be revealed.

Obsidian Entertainment to Reveal a New Game at the Game Awards

Obsidian Entertainment plans on announcing a new game next week, during the Game Awards. It looks like a retro-futuristic one, too.

If you visit the Obsidian Entertainment website, you’ll be greeted by a pop-up advertisement for one of two companies/products. It displayed a countdown leading up to the time of the Game Awards show and a skip button. Pressing the skip button will direct you to another ad for the same product before bringing you to the actual website. One product was Auntie Cleo’s, which appears to be a skin cream, I guess? I’m not sure. The other was for Spacer’s Choice, which looks to be an ad for a space farer’s firearm.

Right now, we don’t know squat about the game itself. Spacer’s Choice implies that there will be space, and also shooting, but that hardly narrows things down. We will presumably get more information during the Game Awards.

The game will be published by Take-Two Interactive’s Private Division, a new publication branch with a focus on the developers (I’m not sure what that means). This will be the second title published by the branch, with Kerbal Space Program being the first.

This takes place not long after Microsoft announced their acquisition of Obsidian Entertainment. Microsoft was clear at the time that they have no intention of interfering with the developer’s plans or ideas, but they were happy to have them under their umbrella all the same.

I spoke previously about Alien: Blackout, a game rumored to be announced at the Game Awards. But we won’t know any more about that, or this, until the actual broadcast next week. For more details on that, check out the official Game Awards website.
