Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty has been turned into a stop-motion animated short film, kind of. 

YouTuber Flurdeh is back again after turning several other well-known games into adorable miniature worlds. Earlier this year, we wrote about Tiny Starfield, which takes the Bethesda RPG and applies a photography technique called tilt-shift to it which gives the game a cozy diorama feel to it. 

The creator's latest project is based around Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty, and it's somehow made Night City and Dogtown look much more inviting. 

You can see what we mean by this above, but essentially, the footage is captured in a way that feels surprisingly wholesome and nostalgic - the sentimental music and warm lighting probably helps. Watching the little people scurry around the cyberpunk-style cities almost feels like watching a Studio Ghibli or Wes Anderson animated film as there's not a lot going in in the scenes, just footage of everyday life in the RPG's various locations.

You really do feel like a fly on the wall just watching the residents of Night City go about their business, a theme that can be found in all of Flurdeh's videos, including in Tiny Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart, Tiny The Last of Us, Tiny Spider-Man: Miles Morales, and many more. 

In other Cyberpunk 2077 news, the CD Projekt Red title recently received the 2.1 update, which added a ton of new features, including an immersive metro system and new romantic hangout spots, as well as recreates the sad Keanu meme with Johnny Silverhand

After studying Film Studies and Creative Writing at university, I was lucky enough to land a job as an intern at Player Two PR where I helped to release a number of indie titles. I then got even luckier when I became a Trainee News Writer at 12DOVE before being promoted to a fully-fledged News Writer after a year and a half of training.  My expertise lies in Animal Crossing: New Horizons, cozy indies, and The Last of Us, but especially in the Kingdom Hearts series. I'm also known to write about the odd Korean drama for the Entertainment team every now and then.
