The Complete CYBERPUNK Timeline Explained!

Ойындар

Let’s dig into the timeline of Night City and Cyberpunk 2077.
Cyberpunk 2077 started life as a tabletop roleplaying game, with creator Mike Pondsmith and the team establishing rich lore that dates back decades before the events of CD Projekt Red's game kicks off. Luckily for us, the game and the TTRPG share the same timeline.
This is the Cyberpunk franchise fully explained.

    I love this world so much. And I love that it's all connected because Mike Pondsmith created Cyberpunk Red which basically ties in what happened between the events of Cyberpunk 2020 and Cyberpunk 2077, essentially making Cyberpunk 2077 canon, since he also created a Cyberpunk 2077: Edgerunners mission kit for Red. There are also characters from Cyberpunk 2077 that are on Red.

    9:00 if this is meant to be a real timeline... you all didn't do your homework. No mention of Morgan Blackhand, Militech's #1 guy who got Johnny and Rogue involved in the first place? No mention of the fact that Johnny was NOT alive when digitized, he did not survive to be personally spoken to be Saburo and these are possibly Morgan Blackhand's memories. Johnny died to a single shotgun blast from Adam Smasher, it tore him in two after his Malorian couldn't make a dent in the cyborgs armor.

    yeah, I stopped watching this video when they credited Silverhand with the whole thing. However, I'll give them the benefit of the doubt by assuming they did do their homework, but decided to abridge and stick with Silverhand's account of events for the sake of not confusing viewers only familiar with the videogame.

    ​@@eel845in original lore Smasher blew Johnny apart when he assaulted the tower to rescue alt and nuke it. In the game silverhand didnt die immediately, he was tortured for information and killed later. But the game also states that Johnny's memories are inaccurate, but I havent figured out yet how the game made him survive long enough to get engrammed.

I know that there are many stories to be told in Night City, but that doesn’t mean the video game series can’t be about V.

The events in the prologue of Cyberpunk 2077 happens roughly 3 days after the ending of Edgerunners; The game itself starts 6 months later in April 2077.

    Like that you used quite a bit of the TTRPG art. However the 4th corporate war isn't as you say. As per the FireStorm series the war started in Nov 2021 with CINO and OTEC. The 4th corporate war ended in Oct of 22 with Militech and Arasaka being nationalized by the USA and Japanese governments respectively. Yes there were hold outs, like elements of Arasaka in Night City. The force sent to Night city to eliminate the NC Arasaka office was in Aug of 23. Which means it was USA that sent the team as Militech was controlled by the government. Glad you told the audience to get involved with the TTRPG. It is a fun game which I have enjoyed for many years. All the books are still available from R Talsorian as physical books or PDFs.

    it's anyone's guess what they do, but I doubt they pick one ending as cannon, CDPR has never done that. A more likely scenario is the game is set 20-30 years into the future, because that's generally what the series has done from one tabletop entry to another.

    @@DoTheAstralPlane they haven’t developed enough games for us to know that though? The Witcher games certainly have continuity themselves (albeit those games never quite had the selection of endings this game has), a rogue AI invasion and 5th corporate war are both on the cusp of breaking out and, as we have seen, Mr Blue Eyes is looking to be in the front of it all with his involvements in getting Songbird to the moon and hiring V to do a job. I do think CDPR are building up to something crazy here, kinda reminds me of Mass Effect Plus CDPR aren’t exactly the same people who developed the worked on the tabletop entries, I’m sure they’ve been given creative liberty to do what they wish. As you have said though, it is anyone’s guess what they’re going to do. All we can do is speculate and pick up any hints (if there are any)
