Five years ago today, CD Projekt RED released a teaser trailer for its next big project, Cyberpunk 2077. The short trailer was the first public reveal of the Polish company’s follow up to The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt (which had not yet released at the time). The teaser set fans abuzz, but then the marketing machine went silent for years.

This morning, the official Cyberpunk 2077 twitter account came back to life like a terminator.

Predictably, this cryptic tweet set the gaming world into another frenzy. As it has been almost 3 years since the release of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, it would make sense for CD Projekt RED to start the hype wheels turning on what could possibly be the most anticipated video game in existence.

The Internet reacting to the tweet

After Wild Hunt released to critical and commercial success, the expectations for Cyberpunk 2077 could not be any higher. Will CD Projekt RED’s upward trajectory continue? Stay tuned to Shacknews for the latest updates.
