WithCyberpunk 2077hitting shelves later this year, it seems CD Projekt Red is paying extra attention to make sure the long-awaited title is the most intricate and detailed experience the studio has crafted to date. With extensive customization options,NPCs with daily routines, and the ability to start the game from several hugely different backgrounds depending on the protagonist’s origin, this is likely to be the iconic studio’s most complex project yet.
It seems this sense of meticulous attention extends beyond the game’s most impressive features, however, with a new Reddit post from user Wang-Bang highlighting one amazingly detailed decision added in a recent slice ofCyberpunk 2077gameplay. As many will remember, the game’s braindance trailer tells the short tale of two drugged-out thieves robbing a convenience store, with one of the robbers brutally killing the other at the tail-end of the section.

Discovering that the thug was betrayed by his partner is the central mystery of the trailer, with the reveal showing the player - and by extension, V - how thebraindance softwareworks. Within the software, the user gains access to the perspective and memories of another person, with the trailer specifically allowing the player to witness the robbery and use the technology to unmask the thief’s killer. However, while the reveal comes at the end of this segment, it seems CD Projekt Red left a minuscule hint towards the identity of the betrayer long before he stabbed his partner in the back.
As the two thieves converse at the beginning of the clip, the betrayer hands his partner a pistol, with the thiefVis inhabiting railing the gun. Slowing the trailer down to 0.25% speed shows that there’s actually no bullet in the gun’s chamber while the thief’s railing it, highlighting that the weapon isn’t actually loaded. That’s not it though. When the thief enters the store to hold up the clerk and his customers, he’s shown railing the gun again. As Wang-Bang points out, this should’ve expelled a bullet, however, it doesn’t, once again alluding to the fact that the pistol has no ammunition loaded.
Naturally, the thief is under the influence of some heavy drugs at the time and doesn’t notice, but it’s a fantastic detail that shows how intricateCyberpunk 2077will look to be. Hopefully, fans can expect many more of these tiny momentswhenCyberpunk 2077launches later this year, especially after CD Projekt Redtook extra time to make sure it winds up a deeply polished experience.
Cyberpunk 2077is set torelease November 19th for PC, PS4, and Xbox One, with Stadia, PS5, and Xbox Series X versions to follow.
