Commodore and CD Projekt Red Announce Cyberpunk 2077-Themed Commodore 77
Commodore has teamed up with CD Projekt Red to reveal the Commodore 77, a specialized version of the Commodore 64 Ultimate. Fans can now pre-order the new Cyberpunk 2077-themed computer system directly through Commodore.net.
In an unexpected crossover between retro computing and modern gaming, Commodore and CD Projekt Red have officially announced the Commodore 77. This unique hardware release is a specialized version of the Commodore 64 Ultimate that has been heavily styled after the futuristic aesthetics of the popular video game Cyberpunk 2077. The announcement brings together a classic computing platform and a major contemporary gaming franchise through a collaboration with CDPR.
For enthusiasts eager to secure the new system, the Commodore 77 is currently available to pre-order for $377. Interested buyers can place their orders by visiting the official Commodore.net website. The pricing reflects the hardware's status as a distinct, themed variation of the standard Commodore 64 Ultimate platform rather than a completely redesigned foundational architecture.
The company behind this revival, Commodore, was successfully resurrected by the well-known YouTuber Christian "Perifractic" Simpson. Under Simpson's leadership, the historic brand has returned to the technology landscape, bridging decades of computing history with contemporary pop culture properties like the universe created by CD Projekt Red.
To showcase the capabilities of the hardware, the Commodore 77 product launch includes a specially crafted software demo. This included demo was created by Arise, a Polish C64 group known for working with the classic hardware platform. Accompanying the visual demonstration is an electronic soundtrack produced by artist LukHash, rounding out the retro-futuristic multimedia experience for early adopters and collectors alike.
