New Cyberpunk 2077 Board Game Crowdfunding Surpasses $1 Million Dollars

After teasing it for a while, CD Projekt Red has finally announced Cyberpunk 2077 – The Board Game, along with a crowdfunding campaign to help with production.

What makes the news better is that the crowdfunding campaign for the board game inspired by the Open-World epic, has already received over $1.4 million in donations at the time of writing, despite the primary goalbeing $100,000.

The campaign was announced on the game’s official X handle. It calls for pledges from those who can contribute to the game and provides incentives such as exclusive day-one gifts.

The official description of the board game on the crowdfunding campaign page reads the following:

The new board game set in everybody’s favorite dystopian world will allow you to create your own adventures using the characters and setting from the game, allowing you to relive the experience of the Cyberpunk 2077 world in your own style.

There is no end in sight when it comes to backers, as the pledged money seems to keep going up. The aforementioned goal of $100,000 was reached within 10 minutes of the announcement, with everystretch goal being smashed shortly after.

The studio is collaborating with the famous Polish Board Game designer Go On Board, who has previously worked with CD Projekt Red to help bring to life The Witcher: Old World Board Game as well.

Why CD Projekt Red Chose to Crowdfund Cyberpunk 2077 – The Board Game

While the studio has seen major success in the past, creating some of the most successful franchises in the gaming industry, it pledges to remain independent and free of any corporate pressure that might limit its creative freedom.

This is one of the reasons why it has gathered quite a loyal fan base over the past decade, and continues to grow with the help of its community.

The crowdfunding campaign offers backers various tiers of support, with exclusive rewards such as limited-edition game components, art prints, and more.
