One game that the community had high hopes for was CyberPunk:2077. Its futuristic theme is based on a world created after a dystopic catastrophe. The inclusion of fan-favorite actor Keanu Reeves skyrocketed the hype for the game. But rampant bugs and other in-game factors made players lose interest in the title pretty fast.

This drawback was not permanent, though. The release of the popular Cyberpunk: Edgerunners web series, revived the title and now is enjoying a fruitful run. Following this success, many rumors about the release of Phantom Liberty surfaced online. A key staff member from CD Projekt curbed these rumors and provided an understanding of what to expect.
