Sure, let’s dive in.

So, you’re sitting there, pondering the literal end of an era. Cyberpunk 2077 — bam, done. CD Projekt Red just gave the final nod with the 2.0 release and Phantom Liberty DLC. And boom, that’s it. No more updates. They’re off chasing Witcher 4 dreams. Witcher 1 Remake, too. (Yep, that’s happening.) But then — twist! — they circle back to our neon-drenched nightmares. Project Orion’s on the horizon. A Cyberpunk sequel without V? Probably. But whoever comes in ain’t getting rid of Skippy. That little rascal’s gotta stick around.
Now, Skippy… man, Skippy. Remember finding him? A smart gun with a legit voice. Forget the basic AI nonsense. Here’s Skippy with memory loss — tragic, really. It’s not about combat excellence but the sheer coolness. It’s all about personality, and Skippy’s got oodles of it. If CDPR skips Skippy in the sequel, it’d be like leaving your best buddy behind when you move out of town.
Anyway, back to Skippy. It’s the sass that gets you. You’re strolling through Night City, stumble upon a cadaver (as one does), and boom! You’re hit with a choice — killer mode or pacifist mode. And y’know, 50 kills later, Skippy does a 180 on whatever you picked. Like, what? But hey, personalities are complicated.
It’s the chatter, though. Skippy’s little quips about V’s questionable life choices or its own existential crises… priceless. I’d play the sequel for a comeback or even a spiritual spin-off. Just think: Skippy as the obnoxious side-commentary to Johnny Silverhand. Picture it. The mayhem.
Now for the kicker. In the original, you lose Skippy’s personality at the end. Regina Jones wipes it, returns it to… some techie. But this dude could rock up in Project Orion with a rebooted Skippy, decked out with new quirks. Maybe Skippy’s ditched the gun life for personal assistant gigs, delivering snark at every opportunity. I mean, who wouldn’t want Skippy to narrate their dystopian misadventures?
And what if CDPR goes wild with Skippy-inspired weapons? A line of smart arms, equipped with sassy, sidelining AIs. Could they bake a full-on AI into it, reacting on the fly? I say chuck it all in. Fourth-wall-breaking jabber, real-time action commentary. Just let Skippy be Skippy, even in a techy form. Imagine hacking away while Skippy gloats in its trademark fashion.
The whole Skippy vibe, though. That’s where the magic is. Picture a sequel Skippy — maybe a cynical dude or a sunshine gal, always giggling through chaos. Who knows? The possibilities are endless. The point is, Skippy’s gotta be in there, stirring the pot.
Game on, CDPR. Keep it chaotic, keep it Skippy.
