Cyberpunk 2077 Board Game Hits Kickstarter And Immediately Blows Through Funding Goal

As is standard practice for most major board game announcements, Cyberpunk 2077: Gangs of Night City’s announcement coincided with the launch of a crowdfunding effort. As is also standard practice, publisher CMON set a surprisingly modest goal for its Kickstarter campaign: $100,000. The result is that Cyberpunk 2077: Gangs of Night City has already blown past its $100,000 goal in the first few hours of the campaign, passing $250,000 with over two weeks left to raise funds.

Cyberpunk 2077: Gangs of Night City is a competitive board game intended to be played with 1-4 players. Players will be able to choose a story for how the game progresses, a unique gang for each individual player, and will then use units from the gang to spread their influence across Night City. The Cyberpunk 2077: Gangs of Night City board itself will represent Night City, split up into multiple regions. Players’ units will be represented by full mini-figurines.

Those interested in funding the Cyberpunk 2077: Gangs of Night City campaign, securing a pre-purchase of the board game if it’s successfully completed, can do so for a pledge of $110. A $110 pledge will secure a copy of the Cyberpunk 2077: Gangs of Night City core box, plus all additional stretch goal rewards including exclusive character profile cards and Edgerunner figures. Shipping is an added cost on top of the $110 pledge.

Cyberpunk 2077: Gangs of Night City is tentatively scheduled to be delivered in July 2023. While it may not be intuitive, since Cyberpunk 2077: Gangs of Night City has already completed its Kickstarter goal, it’s always possible that Cyberpunk 2077: Gangs of Night City’s campaign doesn’t meet behind-the-scenes expectations and is canceled, so backers should keep that in mind.

For Cyberpunk 2077 fans hoping for a new type of experience in Night City and for board game fans looking to explore a cyberpunk universe without delving into pen and paper, Cyberpunk 2077: Gangs of Night City may offer just that kind of opportunity. Expect further updates on the Cyberpunk 2077: Gangs of Night City campaign as it continues to pull in pledges in the weeks to come.
