Cyberpunk 2077 Teases Mysterious Announcement for September 4

Cyberpunk 2077 developer CD Projekt Red has dropped a cryptic in-universe message pointing to September 4 as a date of importance for the sci-fi RPG. The post revealed no clear details, only a strange call to action, sparking a wave of speculation about what may be coming next.

From Rocky Launch to Redemption

Launched in late 2020 after nearly a decade of hype, Cyberpunk 2077 initially faced backlash due to severe technical issues, especially on PS4 and Xbox One. Over time, CD Projekt Red turned the situation around with major updates and overhauls, massively improving performance across platforms. The studio has since shifted much of its focus toward Project Orion, the official sequel, leaving a smaller team to maintain the original game.

September 4 Could Be a Turning Point

The new tease follows the release of Update 2.3, which delivered several quality-of-life improvements. On the official Cyberpunk 2077 Twitter account, CD Projekt Red shared an in-universe broadcast from President Rosalind Myers, a character featured in the popular Phantom Liberty DLC.

The fictional message, dated September 4, 2025, urges “brave netrunners” to step forward. It calls on them to help the New United States of America (NUSA) fight a rising cyber threat. The message ends with instructions to “take our recruitment test” and “serve the N.U.S.A.” However, no link or test was included.

Fans also noticed a lore twist: Myers is not canonically president until 2065, raising questions about whether this is a simple immersion tactic, a timeline shake-up, or a hint at something major.

Theories From the Community

Fan speculation ranges from small-scale events to game-changing reveals:

• A new Alternate Reality Game (ARG) is kicking off.

• The long-requested New Game Plus mode via Update 2.4.

• A Hollow Knight: Silksong crossover, since both games share the September 4 date.

• Smaller announcements like contests, merchandise drops, or even updates about the rumoured Edgerunners 2 anime.

Associate game director Pawel Sasko retweeted the post, adding fuel to the hype. Many fans see this as a sign of something notable. Cyberpunk 2077 will reach its fifth anniversary this December. The September 4 announcement may connect to the lead-up for that milestone celebration.
