As promised last week, today we’ve prepared some information  about our upcoming Cyberpunk title. It’s great that you have so many  questions about the game and we hope that we can satisfy at least some  of your hunger for knowledge about the title that’s currently being in  the works. With that being said, let’s get to the main dish. 
 
Below you can find the original questions followed by answers from CD Projekt RED Community Manager, Marcin Momot.
 
Richie79: What elements are you using as inspiration (references) for making Cyberpunk?
 
Marcin Momot: There are quite a few actually.  Aside from the obvious ones like the works of William Gibson or the  Blade Runner movie, we also take from the first Ghost in the shell, both  anime and manga. We’re also looking up to System Shock because of its  interesting approach to gameplay. The first part of Deus Ex is also a  very important source of inspiration to us.
  
Guipit: Will choosing your class affect the story? If so, how much?
 
MM: It’s always been very important to us to  deliver mature and ambitious entertainment. It’s not going to be any  different this time around. We want to keep the role system from the pen  & paper version of Cyberpunk. As opposed to the regular fantasy  set-up with mages, warriors and archers, we’re going for something  different. In Cyberpunk, each character role will offer a set of special  skills that will impact your stats in many different ways. That’s where  the challenge kicks in, we want to create a game where character  customization will be strongly tied with the plot. Now going from that,  we believe that we can make a game where, with many different role  choices, you will get a very strong, engaging story, just like it was  with The Witcher.
 
Mihura: Will there be full customization of our  character like a D&D game, things like gender, ethnicity, moral  stand point, sexuality...etc or we will be restrict to something like  Geralt from TW2?
 
MM: We definitely want to give players way more  freedom with customization of the main protagonist then they had with  Geralt in The Witcher series. We are planning on letting them change  their statistics, equipment, implants and much more.
  
Saoe: When can we expect to see more info, screenshots or first videos from the game?
 
MM: I keep bothering guys from the art team to  release some new content soon but they don’t want to listen to me for  some reason. I won’t give up though, so make sure to follow our website  and social media because when I finally convince them, you will be the  first ones to know.
  
Geralt The Riv: Will the setting be a totally  new designed by CDPR(You know like name of the planet, country, state,  city etc) or just a mimic of a current location?(New York, L.A. Miaimi  etc.....)
 
MM: Cyberpunk’s story takes place all over the  world, but we’re going to focus on it’s most characteristic venue -  Night City. One thing is certain, we want to make a game with an open,  living world that stays true to the source material.
