In an unlikely World of Warcraft crossover, Cyberpunk 2077 comes to Azeroth in a well-made remake of the upcoming sci-fi RPG's trailer. The machinima explores how sophisticated and robust the world of Cyberpunk 2077 is while the long wait for the title is coming to an end.
Cyberpunk 2077 is expected to finally release next Thursday. There shouldn’t be any more delays, although CD Projekt Red still managed to postpone a planned DLC reveal. Players will learn about the additional content sometime after the base game launches. According to developers, the reveal will follow in 2021, which is a vague window, to say the least. It has also been reiterated that Cyberpunk 2077 will receive at least as many DLCs as The Witcher 3, which narrows down to a couple of big story expansions and a plethora of smaller content updates.
While the gaming world has frozen in anticipation of Cyberpunk 2077’s inevitable release, content creator Duren decided to reimagine Night City as a World of Warcraft setting. The unlikely crossover video is based on Cyberpunk 2077’s E3 2018 trailer, which perfectly sets the mood for the anticipated game. The impressively crafted machinima authentically recreates every scene of the two-year-old trailer, resulting in a weirdly satisfying experience. Duren utilized a lot of content from World of Warcraft bringing the mock "World of Cyberpunk" trailer to life, and it brilliantly demonstrates what a proper Shadowrun MMO could’ve looked like as a believable blend of cybernetics and fantasy.
It is worth mentioning that Cyberpunk 2077 is already rumored to include an element of magic, much like what some World of Warcraft builds wield. Ciri from The Witcher 3 is rumored by some to make an appearance in the game, and there’s actually a solid explanation as to why it is possible. Ciri possesses the power of creating portals between distinctive worlds and timelines, so she’s capable of jumping around the multiverse at will (and at random). Interestingly, she might’ve already visited the world of Cyberpunk, which was briefly teased in The Witcher 3 during a conversation between protagonist Geralt and Ciri, his ward. She admitted to traveling to a world where everyone had a flying ship and functional metal parts in their bodies, which is a dead ringer for Night City's dystopian world.
Somehow, the World of Cyberpunk fan trailer totally makes sense in its presentation of an impressive sci-fi fantasy setting where magic meets technology, and it'll no doubt leave some longing for a real crossover between World of Warcraft and Cyberpunk 2077. In a perfect world, CDPR and Blizzard would include a few easter eggs in each to appease fans of each deep role-playing game.
Cyberpunk 2077 will be available for PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, PC, and Stadia on December 10, 2020.
