Cyberpunk 2077 Is Teasing Something, But No One Knows What

There’s something going on with Cyberpunk 2077, but it’s near impossible to determine what that something is at the time of writing.

The game’s official social media accounts seem to be in a teasing mood — and that’s where all of this speculation is coming from. Over on X (formerly known as Twitter), the team’s been posting, er, birthday calendars for a little while now.

These calendars show the birthdays of key characters from Cyberpunk 2077, with the account asking fans to help celebrate said dates with artwork and the like. It all seems innocent enough at a glance, but then there have been multiple times where these calendars have included “encrypted data” slots, which are supposedly hinting at something more.

Here’s a post that specifically points to these locked slots, complete with that suspicious eyes emoji:

But what the hell does it mean? Again, no one seems to know. There are a lot of theories going around, but none of them have any kind of convincing foothold. If this really is part of one big tease, then it’s a damn cryptic one.

Oh and these tweets have continued beyond the announcement of Cyberpunk 2077 on Switch 2 — so we can rule that out.

Could a new Cyberpunk 2077 update be incoming? We suppose that’s one of the most logical conclusions, given that CD Projekt Red actually enlisted the help of an outside developer — Virtuos — to create Patch 2.2 back in December of last year. It was then suggested that Virtuos could end up delivering additional support — but we still don’t know what character birthdays have to do with anything.

There’s also the new Cyberpunk anime to consider, which was announced last year in collaboration with Netflix. Nothing’s been revealed on that front for ages.

And finally, it’s at least worth mentioning that it’ll be Cyberpunk 2077’s fifth anniversary later this year (time really does fly). But if there are celebratory plans for the occasion, it’s hard to imagine that the teases are starting now, when the anniversary itself isn’t until December.

We’re just going to have to keep an eye on this one. We’ll update this story if we learn anything more, but until then, feel free to celebrate Kerry Eurodyne’s birthday in the comments section below.
