Ever since the 1998 release of the Cyberpunk 2020 sourcebook Firestorm: Shockwave, fans of R.Tal have been awaiting for a new release of the Cyberpunk game, known as Cyberpunk 203X. Over the years, the entire project has been at times discounted as vaporware, but at the time of writing, the latest word from Mr. Pondsmith was that the book was finally in the printing stage, its delays due to other projects and Pondsmith's involvement in the development of The Matrix Online.
