Cyberpunk enthusiasts and tabletop lovers really must have had an exciting announcement dropped on them by Night Crew Games. Cyberpunk Legends: Into the Night promises to bring neon-lit dystopian chaos straight to a table experience. The announcement hit Twitter, causing a merry riot of reactions and raw memes, followed by comparisons to Gwent.
What is the core essence of all this? Cyberpunk Legends: Into the Night will be a co-op, story-driven card game easy to pick up (literally five minutes to learn) yet deep enough to strategize interminably more hours with your chooms. No dungeon master; no tiring setup highways; just the players versus the mean streets of Night City. The official tweet sighted an online tease of glowing cyber-aesthetic box art with hype on some, whilst others were quick to ask, *Wait, is this digital or physical?*
This remains a tabletop experience, at least for now. Some folks were lobbying for a digital version (*cough* mobile port *cough*), while others were ready to pack their wallets and ask for pre-orders. One reply joked about getting stomped by *“some dork that camped out to buy cards,”* and honestly? That really hits.
Well, talking of that glaring Gwent comparison here, half of the responses are variations of: *“So is this Cyberpunk Gwent?”* or *“PLEASE make a digital version like Gwent!!!”* One player even went on to say that Morgan Blackhand would be this game’s *“EXODIA.”* Yep, no surprise there.
Several skeptical voices came from the crowd. Some questioned the game being a cash grab (“No one gives a shit about trash called games”), while others clamored for more info-release dates; shipping info; or whether Europe will be getting some love without brutal import fees. Classic gamer chaos.
Then, there were the wildcards. One reply wandered off with a Portuguese rant on *”toggle to aim”* (??), the next one demanded a New Game Plus for Cyberpunk 2077, and then someone just dropped a picture of beans. Priorities, people.
Love or hate it, Cyberpunk Legends: Into the Night channels that addictive lore energy that turned Gwent into a phenomenon. Will it meet expectations? We’ll find out. One thing is for sure, though: Everyone has their eyes on Night Crew Games. When’s launch, and does anyone know where to get a Johnny Silverhand card?
In the meantime, sharpen your decks, choombas. The streets are watching.
(Oh, and if you missed the drop, here’s the trailer. That art-style? Mmm.)
