The five minute long trailer sets up the back story for Cyberpunk 2077. The commentary accompanying the trailer states that Cyberpunk 2077 puts emphasis on open-world exploration, story-changing player choices, combat, and robust character development.
As one would expect, Cyberpunk 2077 is set in the year 2077, with America is in the middle of a nuclear conflict and division within the country resulting from an economic crisis. The country degenerates into a lawless warzone and people from all over are seeking refuge in Night City, the world's last great Megalopolis.
