What do you think? Which of the many possible endings of the game is canon? Or is even the whole game not part of the wider Cyberpunk continuity?

Even if I prefer the Star ending I think that the easy to reach Devil ending is canon, providing that the game is canon. But it could also be that the game is also just a game in the Cyberpunk continuity, a game whose creators use it to spread many of Arasaka's secrets and harm the corporation this way. In this case it would be fun if Yorinobu Arasaka was behind the game... ;)

EDIT: I should clarify that the answer "none" means, that the whole game is not canon in regards of the whole Cyberpunk continuity, which consist of Cyberpunk 2013, Cyberpunk 2.0.2.0. and Cyberpunk RED, and not that's there is just no canon ending.

EDIT2: The fourth entry should read "Temperance" and not "Tempest".

Well, it must have a canon ending, if the game is part of the continuity of the Cyberpunk RPGs (Cyberpunk 2013, Cyberpunk 2.0.2.0. and Cyberpunk RED).
 
If they are gonna continue the story they can simply jump time to the space station.

I had at first found it very hard to believe they put all the work into the space station casino and the NC launch pad assets
with out any intention to use it more than was in the game we got so far.

However at this point now I will not be surprised as what ends up "canon" when we get the DLC.

I at first refused to believe it but now I am accepting they will not let us play our saved character in the DLC unless it is a prequel. As such DEATH would be the canon ending per the DEV.
 
Well, "Death" is the only ending which does not allow a sequel with V as the main caharcter. Even "Tempest" allows the return of V.
 
Well, the game had three different starting stories that all merge in the same plot.
Devil, Sun and Star. Three endings that allow for continuation of the plot, in all three V survies. Wouldn't surprise me if all three would merge back in a dlc story.
 
So if there is None option, why there isn't All option?
I like an open ending so to speak, which some(most, if not all) of those are.

People would probably look at an all option and think along the lines "How the heck is that possible? V can't go with the aldecaldos, and give his body to Johnny"
 
Given the nature of the genre..... the one where V blows their brains out
I think Cyberpunk in general is more about trying to survive, and then dying passively, when there are external forces that became just too powerful for the individual. E.g. due to overpowered AI, unbeatable machines, powerful corporations, biological weapons, stuff like that. Committing Suicide, when there are clearly other solutions on the table, just doesn't seem Cyberpunk to me. You can't just kill yourself and call it a day.

In my opinion, the Suicide ending in Cyberpunk 2077 is the least Cyberpunk ending.

No, I mean. Separately.
Also, why not.
Impossible. One has to "die" for the other to live. They also go on completely different paths. Just look at the difference in the calls. If Johnny V showed up at the Aldo camp, Panam would rip him apart. Mitch and the others would probably let her too, if not help her.

Yes, one has to die in order for the other to live. Or both die. So if you're tying Temperance ending with the Star ending, you'd you expect that, yes.
But I meant all could be canon endings. For me, at least. Each single one separately.
 
Voting none. V isn't important person like Rogue or Silverhand. V can be mentioned as someone who lived in the night city and ok, was a legend of the Afterlife. Why not? But the life story of V can be opened - V just disappeared and nobody know how died. Dot, finish, done.
 
In fact I would add a little detail after reading @tru3story :)
I vote "none" because I don't see CDPR choose one ending and make a whole expansion on that specific ending. It would be the shame (at best^^) for all of those who prefer another one.
But it also mean "all" because if CDPR decide to make a "post-ending" expansion (unlikely in my opinion, but who know...), they have to include all the endings in it...
I imagine all of those who prefer The Star would be (very) disappointed if the expansion lead you to "choose" The Sun... (the opposite is also true and just to talk about this two ones^^)
