Cyberpunk TCG - Official Holophone Announcement Trailer

Gwent has entered the conversation. Under "Cyberpunk TCG - Official Holophone Announcement Trailer," viewers are imagining Night City's dangerous negotiations interrupted by an invitation to play cards. The comparison is to the card game familiar from The Witcher 3, another CD Projekt Red world full of urgent business that players can happily postpone.

The trailer drew an estimated 325,000 views in its first day on GameTrailers, far beyond the IGN trailer channel's usual short-upload audience. Its comment section was also much busier than usual, mixing card-collecting wish lists with questions about exactly what Holophone is.

This is a trailer for organized play in the tabletop Cyberpunk Trading Card Game, not an announcement of a Cyberpunk video-game expansion. Its setup gives the cards a story: Arasaka is vacating Night City, leaving supply convoys exposed. Players choose between factions with very different intentions. Arasaka wants the convoy protected, the Aldecaldos want its cargo, and Maelstrom brings its own appetite for trouble.

A branching diagram shows how player choices shape the campaign. Board layouts and card artwork follow, alongside jobs and Street Cred rewards. The description presents Holophone as the narrative experience connecting that organized play.

Some viewers still ask whether there will be a digital version or a phone component. The tabletop premise is clear, but those practical questions sit alongside a more familiar Cyberpunk joke: Hanako's meeting at Embers may have to wait while players find something else to do.

Is it digital or physical? When does it release? Doesn’t really tell you what you need to know.

V comes to Maelstrom for the Flathead and starts haggling with Dum Dum. Royce shows up and points a gun at V. And V’s like:
