CD Projekt Red Reveals Cyberpunk 2077 Details in Interview
CD Projekt Red, the Polish developer behind The Witcher 3, has provided new details about its upcoming game Cyberpunk 2077 in an interview with Artribune. The game, set in the dystopian Night City, emphasizes first-person role-playing with deep character customization, including gender, physical traits, and background. Founder Marcin Iwinski stated that the team has grown to over 350 developers, up from 250 on The Witcher 3, aiming for an immersive world where player choices matter. The game is not being developed for VR due to hardware limitations, though the studio is interested in the technology. Cyberpunk 2077 is based on Mike Pondsmith's tabletop RPG universe and draws inspiration from films like Blade Runner and Ghost in the Shell. It will be released on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC, with no confirmed release date.
