Witcher devs bringing cyberpunk RPG to PC

May 31st, 2012

The above concept art was making the internet rounds this week, eliciting excitement from fans of Blade Runner, the Witcher games, and futuristic open world action RPGs.

"It's a mature RPG for mature audiences," said CEO Marcin Iwinski during the studio's summer showcase this week. 

I can't remember the last time concept art had me excited for a game.

As long as the concept is innovative and memorable then I'll be interested. Now if it is going to be or will be better than the Witcher, then carry on take all the time you need and finish the the job!

Press any key to continue...

I can't wait to see how this pans out. I play the Paper & Pen version that it's based on and it's a freakin' amazing setting.

If they put the amount of work into it that they put into the witcher series then I'm excited to see this game.

On a different note, as a graphic designer/illustrator in the making, I really appreciate concept art and I gotta say, this is pretty awesome. I'd like to see more of it in the future. =D
