Cyberpunk 2077 has undergone major changes since it launched five years ago today (December 10). While plenty of updates have been transformative for the RPG, underneath the impressive overhauls and additions, the fundamental story and themes at the heart of V's journey have always remained the same.
Set within a neon-tinted city that's all too willing to drown you in its darkness if you let it, CD Projekt Red puts forward a tale of survival and perseverance that I find myself revisiting often. In the lead up to the five year milestone since release, I've been reflecting on what continues to draw me and so many others to the streets of Night City. With the chance to sit down with Cyberpunk 2077's lead writer, Tomasz Marchewka, I ask him: what is it about survival stories like V's that so many find appealing?
