Thieves Steal Cyberpunk 2077 Files, Demand Ransom from CD Projekt RED

An unnamed person or group of people have illegitimately obtained a few internal files from CD Projekt RED’s latest RPG, Cyberpunk 2077.

While leaks happen all the time, this thief or thieves are looking for ransom money to keep the files private. Despite their threat, CD Projekt RED aren’t giving into their demands, via a message posted on their official Twitter.

Here’s the entire message from CD Projekt:


Dear gamers,

An unidentified individual or individuals have just informed us they are in possession of a few internal files belonging to CD Projekt RED. Among them are documents connected to early designs for the upcoming game, Cyberpunk 2077.

A demand for ransom has been made, saying that we should not comply, the files will be released to the general public. We will not be giving in to the demands of the individual or individuals that have contacted us, which might eventually lead to the files being published online. The appropriate legal authorities will be informed about the situation.

The documents are old and largely unrepresentative of the current vision for the game. Still, if you’re looking forward to playing Cyberpunk 2077, it would be best for you to avoid any information not coming directly from CD Projekt RED.

When the time is right, you will hear about Cyberpunk 2077 from us – officially.

CD Projekt RED Team


Cyberpunk 2077 is ambiguously set to release sometime before 2020. You should read our latest report on the game, which details its potentially “huge living city,” as well as its “seamless multiplayer.”
