One of the greatest features of an RPG game is that it gives us the freedom of tailoring our own stories for our characters. Cyberpunk 2077 will give you that freedom and more.

Mateusz Tomaszkiewics, one of Cyberpunk 2077’s quest directors, explained that players will be able to choose a “life path” for their main character. The life path is basically an origin story that will affect gameplay in interesting ways. This will probably give you access to special dialogue options and even different ways of completing quests.

“We also have this thing call the life paths, which are the origins of our character that we choose at the beginning of the game, when we create a character. So for example, you might imagine that if you’re a street kid, you’ll have an easier time talking to different gangs, or if you’re a corporate, you might have an advantage over people from the corporations since you know how they think and how they operate.”

This is definitely something players will love because it gives us the ability to role-play a specific identity. It will also add a lot of replay value to a game that features a storyline that’s affected by the kind of character we create and play as.

Cyberpunk 2077 will be released on 16 April 2020 for the PS4, Xbox One, and PC. If you’re already hyped and simply love everything Cyberpunk 2077, there’s also going to be a prequel tabletop game and a lore book coming out.
