CD Projekt Red has dropped a mysterious in-universe teaser for Cyberpunk 2077, sparking confusion and speculation across the community. Posted on the game’s official social media channels, the message appears to be from President Rosalind Myers of the New United States of America (N.U.S.A.), calling for "brave netrunners" to confront a "mounting cybersecurity threat" via some kind of recruitment test.
The post is dated September 4, 2025 — just days away — prompting fans to wonder whether this is the start of something bigger. Is this a lead-up to a new announcement, a clever ARG (alternate reality game), or perhaps even an early teaser for Cyberpunk 2?
But the details are where things get weird. President Rosalind Myers, who delivers the call to action, isn’t supposed to take office until 2065, according to established Cyberpunk lore. That role currently belongs to President Elizabeth Kress. So, naturally, fans are asking: Is this a lore retcon? A time-travel twist? Or is CD Projekt just having some fun with in-universe storytelling?
Whatever the intention, the teaser has sparked a wave of speculation online. On Reddit and other forums, fans are debating everything from possible updates to Cyberpunk 2077, new Edgerunners anime content, more details about the game’s iPhone port, or even the long-awaited first glimpse of Cyberpunk 2 — now in early development, while CD Projekt shifts focus to The Witcher 4.
Some also suspect the post may have gone live earlier than intended, and that it was supposed to be a timed trigger for sign-ups or additional reveals. Regardless, it has clearly captured fans’ attention — and added another layer of mystery to the world of Cyberpunk.
Whether this is just playful marketing or the beginning of something substantial, all eyes are now on September 4.
