Igromir 2020: new Night City Wire episode shows off Cyberpunk 2077's improved prologue visuals

At the ongoing Igromir 2020 expo, CD Projekt RED showcased a new Night City Wire episode, focusing on visual improvements compared to previous Prologue demos. In addition, the video featured the Russian voice cast and shared some details about the quality of the localization. Spoiler: it's going to be great:

Naturally, after this latest 'revision' of the opening scene went live, enthusiasts couldn't ignore it. Just a few hours after the Igromir video dropped, Reddit user EdgeRunner Cold edited together a new comparison video, matching it up with the builds shown at Tokyo Game Show 2020 and E3 2018:

Compared to the Cyberpunk 2077 build shown at Tokyo Game Show 2020, the new footage has noticeably lower brightness, higher contrast, and slightly less dense fog. However, this might just be a visual trick: the video quality from Tokyo Game Show 2020 leaves a lot to be desired, making direct comparison a bit of a thankless task.

As a reminder, Cyberpunk 2077 went gold back on October 5, meaning there shouldn't be any more delays, at least in theory. The highly anticipated action-RPG is set to release on November 19 of this year.
