There has been plenty of excitement surrounding the release of Cyberpunk 2077 and this is due to the setting, actors involved, and perhaps most importantly, the developer of the title.

The Witcher series tackled adult themes and it seems that Cyberpunk 2077 will take a similar tone in a dystopian future. Despite trailers for Cyberpunk 2077 alluding to its graphic and adult nature, little had been confirmed about exactly what would feature.
