Cyberpunk 2077’s developers once brainstormed about a quest in which the player would “become a construct, essentially capable of doing millions of things at once” using a Superhot-style time mechanic similar to the one a modder just managed to add to the game.
Yes, forget about missions involving giant killer robots that are meant to make you feel a bit like Frodo Baggins. Perhaps you’ll get a chance to see what Johnny Silverhand is doing as he swims around V’s brain, following a certain neural engram digital chip incident.

Replying to IGN In an article about the mod that brings time mechanics similar to the indie puzzle game Superhot to Cyberpunk, CD Projekt narrative director Philipp Weber wrote that it was “cool to see” and then explained why it’s so nippy that modder Jackexe tackled it .
“At the beginning of our work, we briefly developed a task with similar mechanics,” the creator wrote. “You have become a construct that is essentially able to do a million things at once. This way we simulated a full task that only took a few seconds.” real time.” Now someone has done it!”

While Weber didn’t provide more details about this task, and it looks like it may never have gotten beyond the initial planning stages, it’s certainly an captivating solution to consider. Based on the nugget about you becoming a construct – one of many words describing what Johnny Silverhand’s digital consciousness is on the chip in V’s head, with engram being the latter – I assume this mission could have allowed you to experience the other side what happens when you allow Silverhand to take control of your body in tasks like “Chippin’ In”. Or maybe it would be another way to go supernova at the end of the game, who knows?
Anyway, a mod that will at least allow you to experience something similar mechanically over time is called “Super hot Cyberpunk mode‘ and you can see a video of it in action Here.
If you’re interested in the official Cyberpunk 2077, which you’ll definitely be able to experience, you’ll be cheerful to know that the Cyberpunk board game recently surpassed its funding goal, and Netflix is announcing another animated project set in Night City.
