Cyberpunk 2077 Early Design Documents Stolen

According to CD Projekt RED’s official Twitter account, several of their internal files were stolen by unidentified individuals. Some of those files were early design documents for Cyberpunk 2077. A demand for ransom has been made and swiftly rejected.

I guess it’s fitting, in a way, for a game about anti-corporate lowlifes, still, CD Projekt have found themselves in an unenviable situation. Here’s their official statement:

Dear gamers,
An unidentified individual or individuals have just informed us they are in possession of a few internal files belonging to CD PROJEKT RED. Among them are documents connected to early designs for the upcoming game, Cyberpunk 2077.
A demand for ransom has been made, saying that should we not comply, the files will be released to the general public. We will not be giving in to the demands of the individual or individuals that have contacted us, which might eventually lead to the files being published online. The appropriate legal authorities will be informed about the situation.
The documents are old and largely unrepresentative of the current vision for the game. Still, if you’re looking forward to playing Cyberpunk 2077, it would be best for you to avoid any information not coming directly from CD PROJEKT RED.
When the time is right, you will hear about Cyberpunk 2077 from us – officially.
