being that the better you are at this hacking
procedure, the more control you get over the
actual network that you’re hacking. And that
manifests in additional rewards on top of your
main objective, being addedtoyouandmaybe
your inventory.”
Depending on your
playstyle, hacking
could be just as
important to your
character as their
trigger finger, letting
you get around
obstacles and directly
mess with your
cyber-enhanced
opponents. Don’t
worry if your shooting skillsgeta littlerusty
after de-rezzing all that ICE, because another
minigame will let you head to the shooting
range to practice with your gunsmith
pal Wilson.
“Another thing you might do – because
vehicles play a big part in our game, and you
are in Night City, the city of neon – so of
course you’re invited to engage in some carracing activities. So you’ll be able to race your
car through the city,” Tost added. We even saw
a little first-person motorcycle riding in the
latest gameplay footage, though Tost didn’t say
whetherwe’llbeableto race those around too.
But wait, there’s more!
“On top of that, you
can also do boxing
matches,” Sasko said.
“I don’t know if you
remember the first
trailer we had shown,
there was the big dude
getting broken by this
robot. So you can
actually fight it in a
boxing minigame. It’s
likea seriesofmatchesthat you can attend.”
That sounds like enough to keep us busy for
quite a while even without the story and side
missions bit. However, the devs didn’t say
anything about giving an exhaustive list of
Cyberpunk 2077 minigames, so if you’re still
holding out hope for a dystopian future
equivalent of Gwent, don’t abandon your
dreams just yet.SENIOR LEVEL DESIGNER
