A few internal files regarding Cyberpunk 2077 got into unauthorized hands.
The Polish developers immediately grabbed a keyboard and responded with this statement on Twitter. Quoting them: „Dear gamers, an unidentified individual or individuals have just informed us they are in possession of a few internal files belonging to CD Projekt Red. Among them are documents connected to early designs for the upcoming game, Cyberpunk 2077.
A demand for ransom has been made, saying that should we not comply, the files will be released to the general public. We will not be giving in to the demands of the individual or individuals that have contacted us, which might eventually lead to the files being published online. The appropriate legal authorities will be informed about the situation.
The documents are old and largely unrepresentative of the current vision for the game. Still, if you’re looking forward to playing Cyberpunk 2077, it would be best for you to avoid any information not coming directly from CD Projekt Red.
When the time is right, you will hear about Cyberpunk 2077 from us – officially.
CD Projekt Red Team”
The Polish team has balls, and that’s not a bad thing to have. If the leak isn’t as huge as it was with Doom 3’s pre-alpha or Half-Life 2, then we shouldn’t be hugely worried about the situation.
There’s one strange thing though, it’s the SECOND TIME, CD Project RED design documents get stolen in a similar fashion: the same thing happened in 2014 for The Witcher 3, as you can read our news bit about it here.
