It’s tough to say but if it does happen it probably won’t be for a while. That’s why it might be a good time to suggest some other cyberpunk-like games in the genre for Switch users to play in the meantime. Some of these stretch the limits on what an RPG is but they should still satisfy that Cyberpunk 2077-like itch.

10 Astral Chain

Astral Chain is an action game that takes place in a neon future/cyberpunk world, wherein police are assisted by otherworldly beings to fight other monsters. These creatures are sort of like the Persona creatures in the Persona series. The action is intense and it looks great for a Switch exclusive. It didn’t make a huge splash at launch despite the good praise but there is still hope for a sequel.

9 Final Fantasy VII

Final Fantasy VII is technically a cyberpunk-like take for the series. It was a huge departure from the more typical fantasy settings. Final Fantasy VI dabbled in the more modern aesthetic but this game went full blast into cyberpunk town.

This gritty take was one of the reasons why it became so popular even to non-RPG fans in 1997 and why it has remained a favorite decades later. Play the original or remake for a good time. The remake isn’t on Switch, but it’s still worth recommending.

8 CrossCode

CrossCode is a more recent indie RPG. It’s not so much a cyberpunk adventure as it is one based on an MMO. It’s a typical anime storyline of being trapped in a game world. This game world does happen to have some cyberpunk-like aesthetics to it though.

The very concept of diving into another world is reminiscent of The Matrix which is another great cyberpunk franchise. That’s why CrossCode is still a worthy recommendation for Cyberpunk 2077 fans besides it just being a great indie RPG.

7 Axiom Verge

Axiom Verge is a 2D Metroidvania shooter. The newest entry just came out, but in terms of the cyberpunk aesthetic, the original Axiom Verge is the way to go. Players are Trace, a scientist lost in a maze of wires.

He keeps coming back to life thanks to nanomachines and a mysterious AI. What’s going on? The ending has a satisfying explanation. The coolest part of the game are its glitch worlds.

6 Kunai

Kunai is more of a 2D action Metroidvania. Players assume the role of a robot with a giant screen for a face that finds itself acting like a ninja. Humanity has been crushed by a robot rebellion but players are resisting the urge to conquer.

It is one of 2020’s most overlooked games. Whether one wants a cyberpunk post-apocalypse setting or a good Metroidvania, this game deserves another look.

5 Katana Zero

Katana Zero is a 2D assassination game. Players are a modern samurai who resides in a futuristic landscape. Gameplay is similar to something like Hotline Miami. Both players and enemies operate in one hit kills. Stealth is a must in this indie game.

Each room then must be perfected in one shot. Thankfully players can slow down time to make dodging easier. It’s fast, chaotic, and a whole lot of fun thanks to the sharp gameplay.

4 Azure Striker Gunvolt

Azure Striker Gunvolt is like a spiritual successor to the Mega Man X series. That’s because the developer, Inti Creates, also worked on the Mega Man Zero portable games. There are a few entries in this series out there now, including spinoffs, but the collection of the first two is most recommended. Choose a stage, fight through cool bosses, get new powers, and repeat. Again, very heavy Mega Man vibes.

3 Transistor

Transistor is from Supergiant Games, the same developers behind the massive hit, Hades. Players assume the role of, Red, who has lost her voice. All she knows is that she is trying to escape some brutal fate.

Along for the ride is her talking sword, Transistor, who helps narrate things. The game is a mix between an action RPG and a strategy game. It’s a great mix of both genres in a wonderfully crafted cyberpunk world.

2 Black Future ’88

Black Future ’88 is a 2D Roguelike shooter. As the name suggests, this pays homage to 80s action movies that tried to predict what the future was going to be like. It gives the game a nice neon retro flavor that oozes with style.

Not much carries over between runs but players can unlock new characters that might make the game easier. From cool bosses to killer weapons, this is another game that got overshadowed at launch but deserved some more love. There is a couch co-op as well.

1 Neon Abyss

Neon Abyss is another 2D roguelike shooter. The only thing it is missing from Black Future ‘88 is co-op which is a shame. On the plus side, the developers keep releasing updates, giving players more reasons to keep investing time into it. The game has a more cartoon-like and colorful aesthetic to it which makes it a better recommendation to younger gamers or gamers that don’t like excessive violence.
