A new special edition Xbox One X has been leaked on the Canadian Walmart website. The Cyberpunk 2077 Xbox looks like scrap metal at first, but it comes with glow-in-the-dark graffiti. Somehow the phrase “No Future” on the console seems appropriate, as Kotaku details:
Under normal circumstances, the phrase “No Future” would almost certainly qualify as the sort of bad virtual graffiti that tries to club you over the head with a game’s grim-dark themes. See “What happens when the food runs out?” in The Last of Us or “No one will keep us from death!” in Dishonored. Did you know things are not good in these worlds? Did the zombies, raging pandemics, and crumbling social orders not properly convey that? If not, check out the side of that concrete underpass.
But the year 2020 feels like it asks for something more. Apparently, it demands a a console that brings that obvious, needless graffiti out of the game and into our living rooms. It demands a console that reminds us “No future” even in the dark, even when it’s not on.
