Transcript if you can't see the video:

"...it's cyberware called the nanowires and they're basically a set of strings, almost a garrote that is attached to your arms. You pull them out and connect them, and in that way you can stealthily kill people. But you can also hack them from a distance, unlocking the ability to quick-hack enemies and upload some powerful malware in them to make them basically shoot themselves, and all that kind of cybernetic divinity and godhood that you'd want to have your hacking character do. The other cool thing is they're not just for hacking, but you can also use them to slice people into tiny, bit-size pieces, because, again, they are really, really, sharp little metal strings and also powerful weapons, so they come in handy for what you would call "combat netrunning"

Nanowires! This is the third close-range weapon reveal after the Mantis Blades and the Katana, and like the Mantis Blades, these have a use outside of combat as well - hacking into others.

Not entirely sure if this is the case, but it looks like you can briefly see these in action at the 17 second mark in this trailer:



Taking the term "hacking" to a whole new level.

I can't even have a snippet of gameplay showing this off? Disgusting.

The arsenal and customization options for this game are going to be insane. One reason why i'm more hyped for this than I was for The Witcher 3.

The depth of the customization is just unbelieveable, like it all sounds unreal, yet there it is.

I def plan to use a sword. I wonder if there are dual wielding options for melee weapons considering the Mantis Blades are technically dual wield.
