‘Cyberpunk 2077’ Receiving Prequel Story in New Edition of ‘Cyberpunk 2020’ Tabletop RPG

After knocking the socks off of almost everyone at E3 (thanks in part to Keanu Reeves), you’re probably wanting more of CD Projekt Red’s Cyberpunk 2077. There are also probably those who don’t know about the origins of the title, which is based off of the 1988 tabletop RPG, Cyberpunk 2020.

Not to worry, as that original tabletop RPG is getting a new edition later this year called Cyberpunk Red. Not only will it serve as the perfect entry into the world of Cyberpunk 2020, but it will also serve as a bridge into the upcoming video game.

The new edition of Cyberpunk 2020 is getting a special starter set called the Cyberpunk Red Jumpstart Kit, which will hit retail on August 1, 2019 at the upcoming Gen Con 2019. After that, the full version of the tabletop RPG will be released later this year by publisher R. Talsorian Games.

The starter kit will retail for $29.99, and includes a full Cyberpunk adventure for new players to run with their friends, along with a rulebook and lore book to establish the setting and characters. The starter kit also features dice, maps, and a set of characters to let players jump right in.

Cyberpunk 2077 is due out for PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC April 16, 2020.
