As if Cyberpunk 2077’s redemption story couldn’t get any better, one of its spin-off stories has won a prestigious award.
After months of work, and a lot of money invested, CD Projekt Red finally fixed Cyberpunk 2077, thanks to an incredible 2.0 Update, and a new story expansion.

Fans have been more than satisfied with the results, believing the game is finally the masterpiece it was always meant to be, as well as proof AAA games need to be delayed if they’re lacking in quality before launch.
That’s not the only good news though, as a spin-off comic book, Cyberpunk 2077: Big City Dreams, has won the coveted 2023 Hugo Award.

Following two original protagonists, Tasha and Mirek, the story follows the pair “living for themselves, stealing cyberware and indulging in parties and braindances … Tasha is rowdy and wild–she seeks to up her street cred to become the most famous gangster in the city. Mirek, on the other hand, is a calm introvert; he longs for something more–meaning, belonging, warmth.”
The comic was written by Bartosz Sztybor, CD Projekt Red’s comic book and animation narrative director, who also worked on the Cyberpunk: Edgrunners anime. The award given was for the Best Graphic Story or Comic, a brilliant achievement and one that was well-deserved.
In case you weren’t aware, the Hugo awards celebrate the latest and greatest science fiction and fantasy works.
In other news, CD Projekt Red is officially moving on from Cyberpunk 2077, at least the current game anyway. A sequel is reportedly planned, and while there isn’t much known about it the developers have confirmed it won’t be releasing for a very, very long time.
