Cyberpunk 2077 is getting its own expansion card game, called Cyberpunk 2077 — Afterlife: The Card Game, to add to the lore and other fun for fans

As the anticipation grows for Cyberpunk 2077, you know what everyone out there must be clamoring for? A new card game to tie into it all. That is just what we are getting from CD Projekt RED and CMON sometime next year as it has just been revealed in the mix of GenCon that we are getting Cyberpunk 2077 — Afterlife: The Card Game. Something that looks like it will tie into the larger game and all, but how is still a bit of a mystery. Unless you want to point directly and the teams wanting to make more money off an IP that is all the rage right now. I will go with that a bit more.

In Cyberpunk 2077 — Afterlife: The Card Game, we will be playing as 'fixers' to recruit more punks, complete missions, and gain more Street Cred in the world. How that goes down is still a bit of a mystery, but if we look at some of the other games the publisher has put out there it could become clear. That or it could be something completely different and original that we can not truly put a finger on and just assume it will be linked to Cyberpunk 2077 in more than just box art and concepts used from the game. You can see just a bit more of what was announced below, but there is still not much to go on currently. Maybe after the convention ends.

Announcing Cyberpunk 2077 – Afterlife: The Card Game!

We’re excited to announce Cyberpunk 2077 — Afterlife: The Card Game, a standalone physical card game created in collaboration with an international board game publisher CMON!

Cyberpunk 2077 — Afterlife: The Card Game thrusts players into the dark alleyways of Night City, where ruthless gangs clash with corporations in an endless war for money, power, and control.

In the game, you become Fixers — databrokers and masterminds of Night City. Your job is to recruit cyberpunks, equip them with gear, and send them out on missions. Each successful mission raises your Street Cred, with mission survivors becoming Veterans, imparting their knowledge and experience to newer recruits. In this chrome-infused world, Street Cred is the only currency that matters.

And nothing comes cheap in Night City. You need to balance between what you want and what you can actually afford. Using an innovative drafting mechanic and special dashboard, you must decide which cards you want to buy, and which to sacrifice for funds in order to purchase new ones.

Cyberpunk 2077 — Afterlife: The Card Game will be released in 2020.
