Cyberpunk 2077 developer CD Projekt Red has posted an intriguing in-universe teaser pointing to a date this week: September 4. The cryptic message has sparked a flurry of fan theories and discussions about the franchise’s established lore.

This afternoon, a message addressed to citizens of the New United States of America (N.U.S.A.) from President Rosalind Myers appeared on the game's official social channels.

Dated September 4, 2025—just three days from now—the post calls for "brave netrunners" to help defend the N.U.S.A. against a "mounting cybersecurity threat" by taking a recruitment test. The exact meaning behind this announcement, however, has left the community guessing.

Many fans are asking whether this message—officially posted by CD Projekt Red—was released earlier than intended, possibly hinting at an early sign-up for information regarding Cyberpunk 2. Alternatively, this could be the beginning of an alternate reality game (ARG) building up to an event on September 4.

Adding to the mystery is the fact that the message comes from President Rosalind Myers—a character who, according to Cyberpunk lore, doesn’t assume office until 2065. (As dedicated fans have noted, the current president should be Elizabeth Kress.) Does this mean Myers has found a way to send a message back in time? Is CD Projekt retconning part of the established timeline? Or is this just a playful tease that fans are overanalyzing? If it’s the latter, it’s already too late—the speculation is in full swing.

On the Cyberpunk subreddit, predictions for this week’s reveal range from new details about Cyberpunk 2, updates on the previously announced Cyberpunk 2077 iPhone port, news about the upcoming anime Edgerunners 2, or even additional content for Cyberpunk 2077—which support studio Virtuos continues to work on while the core CD Projekt team focuses on The Witcher 4 and the Cyberpunk sequel.

Here is the full text of today’s enigmatic statement from President Rosalind Myers:

Message for N.U.S.A. Citizens September 4, 2025

Our great nation is once again facing a mounting cybersecurity threat—from those who hide in the shadows, too cowardly to publicly proclaim their beliefs, yet determined to tear down our flag and the values it represents. I will not stand for this, and I know you won’t either.

The N.U.S.A. is seeking brave netrunners to join our efforts and neutralize this serious threat. Our agents work tirelessly to protect our nation, maintain its strength, and defend it from those who seek to undermine it. Now you can stand with us in the fight for freedom. I personally welcome all who believe they have what it takes.

Take our recruitment test. Prove yourself. Serve the N.U.S.A.

Fans have noted that Cyberpunk 2’s associate game director Paweł Sasko also shared the post, indicating the timing is intentional and likely connected to the game series itself. Others have pointed out that Cyberpunk 2077 will celebrate its fifth anniversary this December—a milestone CD Projekt may be preparing to mark in some way.

When IGN reached out for comment this afternoon, CD Projekt declined to provide further details. Here’s hoping this week brings some answers.
