CD Projekt RED‘s game will also be part of the E3 replacement IGN program called Summer of Gaming.

Last week, Brazil’s advisory rating system slipped out that Cyberpunk 2077 is going to get an 18+, adult rating. (A similar rating was given there to most Grand Theft Auto titles, God of War: Ascension, Fallout: New Vegas, Call of Juarez, and Beyond: Two Souls.) This got wiped, but Reddit has saved the list on what we can expect: foul language, blood, mutilation, graphic sexual relations, cruelty, suicide, prostitution, nudity, drug usage, and more. CD Projekt officially did not respond to this leak, but Paweł Sasko, the game’s lead quest designer, did on Twitter: „Are you surprised? We are not f__king around.”

ESRB (the American rating board), or PEGI (Europe) did not show signs of rating the game, and neither has the Australian board (where the Poles’ first-person action-RPG could be running into trouble) – the studio explicitly said last year that the game will contain motion-captured sex scenes, and thus, the ESRB might immediately slam an AO (Adults Only) rating on Cyberpunk 2077, which could hurt the sales, as stores don’t tend to carry AO games’ physical copies. However, they might turn things around by using different camera angles to get through with an M (Mature) rating. Interestingly, Adam Badowski, CD Projekt RED’s studio boss previously said that „the vast majority” of the rating boards have rated the game.

IGN also said on Twitter that Summer of Gaming, their E3 replacement digital show, will feature Cyberpunk 2077, potentially with a new trailer or gameplay video that was meant to be seen at either E3 or Gamescom this year. We’ll see the Poles’ game in June, no matter what.

Cyberpunk 2077 will launch on September 17 on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Google Stadia, and PC. An Xbox Series X version has also been confirmed. We don’t know about the PlayStation 5 port yet.
