Just over four years after its release, Cyberpunk 2077 continues to impress and inspire, especially with this impressive fan film that would benefit from being adapted as DLC.
Cyberpunk 2077 has come a long way after its tumultuous launch and a redemption that we rarely see in practice. Despite the numerous bugs and technical problems at the beginning, some elements still made the game special: its very cinematic aspect, its fascinating story and its characters that have become cult. The DLC “Phantom Liberty” reinforced the matter with a fast-paced spy thriller. All of this has greatly inspired fans to tell their own stories in Nighty City, such as this impressive fan film, which even received praise from a key member of the team behind CD Projekt RED's dystopian franchise. However, be careful: if we talk about this, we risk spoiling some elements of the base game.
A Cyberpunk 2077 fan film that deserves to be known
This Cyberpunk 2077 fan film titled Black Dog was created by Valerie Silverhand, cosplayer and photographer. This comes in the form of an hour-long machinma that provides the equivalent of a new epilogue for the female version of V and Johnny Silverhand. In this case, the heroine manages to stay alive as best she can as Johnny's engram gradually consumes her psyche. Like the Phantom Liberty DLC, the film tells us a new story against the backdrop of an ambitious heist to expose the mega-corporation Arasaka.
This Cyberpunk 2077 fan film impresses with its faithfulness to the base game and especially its production. Valerie Silverhand used AI to recreate the voices of the title's original characters, with new lines of dialogue written specifically for the film's needs. The film's director also makes it clear that he has no commercial intentions nor does he aim to steal the work of the voice actors in question. The whole thing is definitely worth a detour if you liked CD Projekt RED's latest game.
Cyberpunk 2 deputy director Pawel Sasko, who served as quest director for Cyberpunk 2077, himself praised Valerie Silverhand's work. “ This is an incredibly ambitious and complex project, I'm really proud of your work, congratulations! » he explained on X.com in response to the latter to tease his film.
