Summary

Cyberpunk Crowdfunds Boardgame

Cyberpunk 2077 is expanding into tabletop gaming with a crowdfunded board game.
Go On Board released an eight-minute YouTube unboxing that details the All-In pledge.
The All-In set bundles Phantom Liberty, Trauma Team, Edgerunners, Johnny Silverhand & NCPD, plus a Terrain Pack, Stretch Goals box, mission cards and unpainted miniatures.
The extended preorder window ends on July 20, 2026, which analysts cite as proof of Cyberpunk’s deep lore and long-term franchise growth.

History

Historical Context

After CD Projekt bought Metropolis Software in 2009 and secured Andrzej Sapkowski’s rights for 35,000 zloty, it built on its early-2000s success localising the Gothic series. The Witcher 3 launched on 19 May 2015, shipping over ten million copies by March 2016, prompting the studio and peers to adopt staggered console ports and cross-media expansions.
