It is not easy to make a high-quality cyberpunk cosplay – not everyone can find bionic prostheses or implants for an image, and their craft is not only expensive, but also time consuming. Only a talented stylist can handle high-quality bright makeup – you won’t surprise anyone with nude shades in cyberpunk. Working with lighting during photo shoots in this style is also difficult, and neon lamps and completely artificial lighting are considered the most suitable. We have selected images in which not only the idea and the costume were successful, but also the embodiment.

Cyberpunk 2077
Cyberpunk 2077 is one of the most anticipated games of 2023, and even the release postponements have not diminished the hype around the title. From CD Projekt RED studio they expect a high-quality RPG that not only matches the trends, but also sets them. Polish developers have already presented gamers with a quality RPG based on The Witcher, literally pulling Andrzej Sapkowski’s universe out of fan oblivion. Many believe that the same will happen with the cyberpunk theme: the aesthetics of the utopian world of technology and social instability will surely become more popular. Cyberpunk 2077 is scheduled for release on November 19th.
The cosplayers did not wait for the release of Cyberpunk 2077 and began to make costumes based on posters and other promotional materials from the developers. CD Projekt RED celebrates the best works on social networks.

The Witcher’s Ciri in Cyberpunk 2077
The witcher Ciri, one of the key characters in Andrzej Sapkowski’s universe, has the gift of traveling between worlds. In The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, which was developed by CD Projekt RED, this ability was played as if the girl had visited the world of another studio title – the yet to be released Cyberpunk 2077.
When she met Geralt, she says that she saw a world where “people have metal in their heads, they fight at a distance, and horses were replaced by” air ships “. This phrase was enough for the fans to come up with a whole story and start dreaming that Ciri would be one of the characters in the new game.
Cyberpunk 2077 has not yet been released, so it’s too early to talk about how true the fan theories are. However, among the in-game press, a magazine about retro games has already been found, on the cover of which Ciri from The Witcher 3 is depicted. The cosplayers liked the idea of a liberated traveler who got into the world of technology, and many models released photo sessions on this topic.

Deus Ex: Human Revolution
Long before the gaming community started talking about Cyberpunk 2077, the Deus Ex series was undoubtedly the leader of the genre. Stealth action about the near future of the Earth showed how terrible the world can become if successful people wage an open war for power.
A male cosplay for one of the most famous fictional gaming universes in the style of cyberpunk was made by a cosplayer from Tomsk Alexei Nechaev. He embodied the image of Human Revolution protagonist – former police officer Adam Jensen.

“Wait for it!”
Many children were frightened by a series of the Soviet animated series “Well, wait!”, In which a robot hare appeared. However, the cosplayer’s creative idea is eye-catching. This work forces fantasy to be connected: “What would happen if technological progress made a huge step forward, and criminals and marginalized people would cease to be prosecuted by the law?” Cyberpunk talks about exactly this development of the world.

Detroit: Become Human
Detroit: Become Human is hardly a classic cyberpunk. The plot of the game is designed to answer the question: “What does it mean to be human?” In worlds where any part of the body can be replaced with a prosthesis, and robots, along with people, perform a variety of jobs, this issue is very relevant.
The soulful set of Lada Lumos and Ivan Arbuzov demonstrates the player’s immersion in the world of the title. The girl plays the android Chloe, a personal assistant developed by CyberLife. It was this machine that brought success to fictional scientists, since it passed the Turing test in 2023. Arbuzov is a gamer who got into the game lobby and is ready for adventure.

Transistor
In the sci-fi action game Transistor, the user plays as a singer named Red. She is armed not only with a pleasant voice and strong character, but also with a huge powerful sword called the Transistor. In the course of the plot, the girl is assassinated and her voice is stolen, and the heroine plans to find out the truth herself and return the loss.
Red is the owner of a bright appearance and fiery hair. Her regular facial features can be envied by many, but not the chic cosplayers who embody this image.

Cyberpunk is a world of high technologies and social inequality, where the concept of morality has ceased to be appreciated. The aesthetic of the setting attracts many cosplayers, and viewers can enjoy unusual looks.
