I tried to get some help on a major CP2020 forum, but no one noticed — there seems to be a lull over there. Unfortunately, I have no text-only files on the setting to cut-and-paste the information. It took me hours to write the fashion page from the text in the Chromebook (I'm not a fast or accurate typer), and the thought of all the work needed to full out this site feels overwhelming! sigh...

As for Replicants (and androids for that matter), I don't think they are canon. AI-level computing and bio-engineering seems absent form the 2020 games. They may have them in 203X, but that sub-setting is so screwed up and disjointed, that most fans of classic CP dismiss it out of hand and ignore that it was ever a thing (it is the Phantom Menace of the CP franchise). As for this 2077 VG setting, I have no idea if it is the future of 2020 setting with a 203X whitewash (it was a huge game-changer to the setting that cannot be ignored), or a whole Star Trek-styled reboot of the classic setting with a push to the timeline to give the setting more longevity — basically CP 2020 set in 2077, and with a flashy 2010s futuristic esthetic. Much like making a Wiki founded on a movie adaptation of a well-established setting/franchise, things are going to get messy with all the clashing elements. So I don't think I could be much help with Replicants outside Bladerunner. The inclusion of the Tyrell Corporation in the setting seems to be an homage to Bladerunner, as both settings are not canon or compatible with each other. I still have to find more info about it, in the books.
