Cyberpunk 2077’s Sequel Should Be A Prequel

A Stand-In For Samurai

Cyberpunk 2077does a decent job of work up out the backstory before V take the reigns as the supporter in the form of flashback where players assume the role of the iconic metal - armed rocker . In this way , people get to live Johnny ’s band , Samurai , in full effect . Introducing certain characters like Kerry Eurodyne in the past tense and present is a cool element , and the entire feature realize V feel like a part of the band , with at least a few subdivision give to shredding on the guitar .

Although disperse throughout the length of the game , much of this experience is given in small snippets that veer off from the main story while also managing to provide more context of use for current consequence .

This form the double-dyed porta for asequel where the instrumentalist could play as a stand - in for one of the members of the Samurai . Maybe one sidereal day Kerry gets pallid , or possibly Arasaka kidnaps Bes Isis or Denny , but the band has to play the big gig of the yr .

A Cyberpunk Where You Play Only As Johnny Would Be A Misstep

Silverhand Is A Much Better Foil Than Main Character

Although it would be tempting to need to jump into the shoes of Kenuau Reeves again and just straight - out play aCyberpunkas Silverhand , this would likely be a mistake for more reason than one . cyber-terrorist 2077introduced players to V , or the player - character that can be customized in just about every path , enable one to immerse into the role of either a Streetkid , Corpo , or Nomad . ThoughCyberpunk 2077 ’s background do n’t truly impact the gameas importantly as one would think , it all tie into role - playing andprovides a nice feeling of player pick and customization .

Abandoning this conception and opting for another already - well - established character like Johnny Silverhand or even another fellow member of Samauriwould be a vast mistake and take away from player identity . For this reason , it ’s important that the continuation maintain the desoxyribonucleic acid that made the original so swell and acquaint another part like V in Orion .

A live - activity Cyberpunk 2077 is in the works , though CD Projekt Red has n’t said if it will be a movie or a TV show or when the release date arrives .

Johnny Silverhand Is Too Polarizing For A Main Character

Dialogue Options Would Be Extreme & “More Extreme”

Another facial expression ofCyberpunk 2077that makes it so great is the dialogue and the options that players can choose . There are a becoming phone number ofchoices throughoutCyberpunk 2077that actually matter , and this ties into the fact that the player - control character is quite literally whoever the player want them to be .

Johnny Silverhand inCyberpunk 2077was consistently in favor of doing the most rebellious thing ( though this is a gross oversimplification of his role ) , especially if that meant messing with Arasaka , which would likely moderate to a rather narrow regalia of dialogue option in most destiny . That said , these are also the affair that make him such an intriguing and fun companion case as well .

V Is Dead

Or They Should Be For Cyberpunk 2077’s Sequel

The route a person take inCyberpunk 2077 ’s many endingswill determine whether a subsequence star the fibre would even be potential . That said , this alternative would also be a mistake , asCyberpunk 2077 — with all its launching warts and uninterrupted betterment over the years — feels like a unadulterated narration from finish to end . While some endings , like " The Star , " and " The Sun , " would indicate that there was another chapter in V ’s story , other endings , like " Temperance , " see V ’s story fall to an end .

Although there ’s no prescribed canon ending to Cyberpunk 2077 , a sequel plot star V again would invalidate at least some of these endings , taking away the concept of musician agency from some people . Worse , retreading quondam ground could feel iterative of the first title , whereas the first biz feels groundbreaking in some way . Even ifCyberpunk 2077 Oriondoes stay on the narrative after the events of five ’s rampage across Night City , a secret plan feature a new protagonist learning about V ’s exploits would be a much more interesting and originative role of the theatrical role .
