Cyberpunk 2077: Ronin Is a Must-Have New Release Launching This Year

Cyberpunk 2077 is a true behemoth of a franchise, something which very few thought possible after that initial abysmal launch.

Over the years, however, CD Projekt RED has crafted one of gaming’s most impressive open worlds in Night City.

Cyberpunk 2077’s 2.0 Update was a real turning point, landing alongside the launch of the game’s sole DLC, Phantom Liberty.

There’s now a sequel in development in the form of Project Orion and over the years, players have been treated to a number of spin-offs.

There’s a tabletop adaptation, the Cyberpunk: Edgerunners anime, a recently announced arcade racer, plus tons of endless merch.

It’s that latter category that we’re addressing today as an awesome new collectible release has been unveiled, Cyberpunk 2077: Ronin.

A Limited-Edition Vinyl Record Launching On 18 April, Act Fast

Cyberpunk 2077: Ronin is a limited-edition new vinyl record that’ll be released for this year’s annual Record Store Day, due to be held on 18 April.

Described as a “love letter to the world of Cyberpunk 2077”, the vinyl draws “directly from the cybernetic heart of Cyberpunk 2077”.

“Angel Of Man crafts a bold sonic journey that merges industrial grit, electronic experimentation, and cinematic scope,” a description reads.

“This Record Store Day exclusive brings fans a 12-track album, including an unreleased, vinyl-only bonus track available nowhere else.

“From high-octane anthems like ‘Extraction Action’ and ‘The Heist’ to reflective soundscapes such as ‘Outsider No More’ and ‘Rite of Passage’, RONIN: CYBERPUNK 2077 embodies the chaos, rebellion, and neon-soaked beauty of Night City.”

The album is pressed on a limited-edition 180g Katana CyberRed LP featuring a 12-inch premium vinyl jacket with exclusive artwork.

“Each copy is housed in a black poly-lined protective sleeve, making it a collector’s centerpiece for video game music fans, cyberpunk enthusiasts, and vinyl aficionados alike.”

There are 12 tracks in total with track 12 being the unreleased Record Store Day exclusive.

It’s expected that the vinyl will be available across record stores in both the UK and USA. Pricing hasn’t been widely circulated but UK-based store South Record Shop has listed the vinyl at £34.99.

Record Store Day releases are typically sold in-person before surfacing online, with dedicated vinyl collectors often queuing outside record stores.

I don’t expect Cyberpunk 2077: Ronin to be the most popular launch of the day, but you should probably act decisively if you do want to add this one to your collection.
