CD Projekt Red, developer of Cyberpunk 2077, has sparked intrigue with an unexpected in-universe teaser dated September 4—just days away. The cryptic announcement has fueled passionate discussions among fans about franchise lore and possible implications.
The game’s official social channels shared an address today from President Rosalind Myers of the New United States of America (N.U.S.A.), ostensibly broadcast to citizens. Dated September 4, 2025, the message calls upon "courageous netrunners" to help counter a looming cybersecurity crisis by completing a recruitment test, leaving the community speculating about its true purpose.
Some theorize this could be an early-access signup for Cyberpunk 2 details, while others suspect it heralds an alternate reality game (ARG) launching soon. Further complicating matters is Myers’ canonical presidency timeline—she isn't elected until 2065, contrary to current lore where Elizabeth Kress holds office. Is this temporal discrepancy intentional? A lore revision? Or simply playful marketing? Fan debates rage on.
The Cyberpunk subreddit brims with predictions ranging from Cyberpunk 2 reveals to updates on the iPhone port, Edgerunners Season 2 news, or additional Cyberpunk 2077 content—currently being developed by support studio Virtuos while CD Projekt focuses on The Witcher 4 and Cyberpunk’s sequel.

President Myers’ full statement reads:
Message for N.U.S.A. Citizens September 4, 2025
Our nation confronts escalating cyber threats from shadow-dwelling adversaries who seek to dismantle our ideals. I refuse to tolerate this—and I know you won’t either.
The N.U.S.A. needs skilled netrunners to neutralize this danger. Our operatives safeguard national security daily; now you can stand beside them. If you possess the talent, I invite you personally.
Take our recruitment test. Prove your worth. Serve the N.U.S.A.
Notably, Cyberpunk 2’s associate game director Paweł Sasko shared the post, hinting at deliberate timing and potential franchise connections. With Cyberpunk 2077’s fifth anniversary approaching this December, CD Projekt may also be laying groundwork for celebratory reveals.
When pressed by IGN for clarification, CD Projekt Red offered no comment. All eyes remain on September 4 for potential answers.
