CD Projekt Red,Kali Hansa the developer behind the Witcherseries, has admitted to being the victim of a data breach.
One or more unidentified hackers obtained files relating to -- potentially among other things -- the upcoming, largely mysterious game, Cyberpunk 2077. The perpetrators then reached out to CDPR to demand a ransom, under the threat of releasing the stolen data publicly.

This Tweet is currently unavailable. It might be loading or has been removed.
The CDPR forums are also down at the time of this writing, for "scheduled maintenance" according to the temporary landing page that appears in its place. I wouldn't be surprised to learn that the schedule in question was updated earlier today.
Cyberpunk 2077was first announced in 2013. It is believed to be CDPR's next big release, though -- with the exception of the occasional tease or interview snippet -- the studio has been largely silent about the project.
We know it's based on Cyberpunk 2020, and pen and paper role-playing game. Aaaaand that's pretty much it. The way CDPR has discussed it -- vaguely -- in the past suggests something more ambitious yet in a similar vein as The Witcher 3.
The award-winning open world role-playing game based on the works of Polish author Andrzej Sapkowski. The game was widely praised for its strong writing, tuned gameplay, and eye-searing visuals, garnering multiple "Game of the Year" awards in 2015.
In many fans minds, Cyberpunkwould be just fine if it adopted the basic framework of CDPR's Witcher games -- particularly the latest -- but against the backdrop of a sci-fi setting.
Unfortunately, this isn't the first time the studio has squared off against hackers. Midway through 2014 -- just under a year before The Witcher 3launched -- stolen files surfaced containing spoilers about various facets of the game, including the ending.
If any ransom demands were made at the time, they were never shared publicly. But CDPR acknowledged the data breach and -- much like it has now -- advised against looking at the contents of the files.
This latest data theft comes just a few days before the start of E3, gaming's annual trade show/circus and typically the site of many of the year's biggest reveals. There hadn't been any indication in the run-up to the show that a closer look at Cyberpunkwould be coming, and that's still the case.
We reached out to the studio to see if it had any additional comment or details to share regarding the data theft. For now, at least, the tweet shared above is all the studio is willing to say.
