Thanks to an extended trailer for Cyberpunk 2077, as well as a hands-on demo at E3 2019, we were lucky to see some of the scale of the game, but hopefully we'll get our best Cyberpunk 2077 overview to date during the Night stream. CD Projekt Red's City Wire which will take place on June 25. In the meantime, here's all the news, trailers, and announcements we've had on Cyberpunk 2077 so far.

Cyberpunk 2077 Trailers
The latest trailer for Cyberpunk 2077 is a 15-minute deep dive into the game's story, world, and gameplay. If you don't mind spoiling some of the visual delights in the store, including what it's like to enter cyberspace - check out the video here. E3 2019 gave us an incredibly stylish trailer, featuring a glimpse of new characters, from the gun game, including Keanu Reeves, who will play rock star Johnny Silverhand. Get your fix in the trailer below. In March 2019, we received another video, this time from the development team preparing for the 3 E2019 demo event. Those hoping for a 2019 release can start preparing, well the game remains without a release date, the hint in the video below is that development is in full swing and a release date may still be a long way off: After a heavy load of hype, CD Projekt Red released 48 minutes of gameplay footage based on the demo that saw journalists at E3 2018. You will see what the shooter looks like, character creation and backstory assignment, as well as how it will improve through cybernetic enhancements. You'll meet some of the characters from the Cyberpunk criminal circuit and explore the city on foot and by vehicle. (Quick warning: the trailer contains nudity, violence, and profanity.) We have a trailer for Cyberpunk 2077 during E3 2018 which you can check out below:Cyberpunk 2077 news and features
Cyberpunk 2077 Night City Wire streamCD Projekt Red presents the Cyberpunk 2077 Night City Wire live stream later today, where we're sure to get our best preview of the upcoming Dytopian RPG. Originally scheduled for June 11, the Cyberpunk 2077 stream has been pushed back to June 25 (it's today!), with the developer saying that "more important discussions are taking place right now and we want them to be heard." . But what do we expect from the Cyberpunk 2077 Night City Wire live stream? CD Projekt Red is 25 minutes long and we can expect to see an all-new trailer, new gameplay footage, and an in-depth discussion with the developers about a Cyberpunk 2077 feature called "braindance," a form of virtual reality entertainment on the Cyberpunk universe. Easter Egg for Xbox One Controller
The Xbox One Cyberpunk 2077 controller is apparently hiding a fun Easter egg for fans. As reported by Reddit user UglyDucklingTaken, the back of the controller has a QR code that, when scanned, takes players to an unlisted video of a track from the game's soundtrack: "The Ballad of Buck Ravers." "from the SAMURAI group. It comes after those who bought the Xbox One X Cyberpunk 2077 Special Edition console discovered a hidden message on its back that can only be discovered with UV light. The message read (via VG247) "Multiple languages, one message" followed by Thank you in multiple languages. Come to Stadia later
Cyberpunk 2077 will not be available on Stadia when it launches on Xbox One, PS4, and PC on November 17. This was revealed in an unrelated press release (via ArsTechnica) which states that the Google Stadia version should "launch the same year." "Although there is no fixed date for the launch of Stadia, this at least tells us that it will be between November 17 and December 31, 2020. M for mature
It seems that Cyberpunk 2077 will have a mature rating. In addition to its note, the ESRB gave information about aspects of the game that led to this note, citing "blood and gore, intense violence, nudity, offensive language, high sexual content, and drug and alcohol use." . Cyberpunk is coming to PS5 and Xbox Series X, with a full next-gen version coming at a later date
Cyberpunk 2077 will officially launch on PS5 and Xbox Series X. The game will also be backwards compatible on both consoles, meaning your PS4 or Xbox One version will run on their respective successors from day one. Additionally, CD Projekt Red confirmed on Twitter that "a future update to Cyberpunk 2077, taking full advantage of next-gen hardware, will be available for free" on both next-gen consoles.
We are happy to confirm that Cyberpunk 2077 will be compatible with both next-gen consoles! Your PS4 copy of the game will work on PS5 on release day. Anyone who buys the game on Xbox One will also be able to read their copy on Xbox Series X when the console launches! June 19, 2020 Who are the Tyger claws?
As the release of Cyberpunk 2077 approaches, new information about the game is somewhat limited and CD Projekt Red has remained silent. But a recent video posted to YouTube by the Madqueen Show (via VG247) claims to reveal one of the gangs that will be roaming Night City after the game's release: Tyger Claws. The gang, which also exists in the game's tabletop RPG, is described in the video as "a Japanese reinforcement gang" that "settled in Westbrook, also known as "Japantown", the part of the people of the city they flock to when looking for thrills. As protectors of the Japanese community as a whole, they are believed to have the support of one of the most powerful mega-corporations in Cyberpunk 2077: Arasaka." The content of the video has not been confirmed by CD Projekt Red, but adding some credence to it, a Tyger Claws poster on the official Projekt Red store depicts the Tyger Claws as a gang from Japantown's Night City. Another gang poster features a group called the Barrio Valentinos. Grimes says it all in an apparent gameplay leak
So we knew that pop star Grimes was going to be on the soundtrack, but he's also going to voice a character in the game, a character we know pretty well by now. Grimes appeared on a livestream at the end of February and discussed her involvement in Cyberpunk 2077 as singer/performer Lizzy Wizzy, perhaps revealing more than she should, with a mention of how her character in the game and the character in the game appear. instead of the science fiction situation in which he finds himself. Spoilers below, obviously. The YouTube video was quickly removed, but this thread on Reddit has a "summary" of what was mentioned (meaning it may not be perfectly verbatim): "I did my voice for Lizzy Wizzy, this game is going to be really good I mean, I didn't play it, but I watched someone play an hour of the game. The game was fantastic, and I play a pop star who committed suicide on stage, and they had to quickly do emergency surgery and replace everything her body cyberneticized while she was dead for an hour, then finished the show as a cyborg."
We've been speculating about Cyberpunk 2077 coming to next-gen consoles for some time now, but this is the first time we've received official confirmation. The game's official Twitter account responded to news of Microsoft's new Smart Delivery feature, which allows Xbox owners to access updated versions of previously purchased games, even after switching to a next-gen console, stating that anyone whoever buys Cyberpunk 2077 on Xbox One would get the game for free on Xbox Series X.
Players should never be forced to buy the same game twice or pay for upgrades. Owners of #Cyberpunk2077 for Xbox One will receive the Xbox Series X update for free when it becomes available. https://t.co/nfkfFLj85w24 February 2020 It's a great incentive to buy early, rather than wait for the improved graphics power of the next-gen console. We doubt the PS5 will have the same functionality, but rest assured we'll have an official word on the game on the next-gen PlayStation console as well. As for when the next-gen versions will arrive? The tweet only says "when available", although we expect that to happen in 2021. Nvidia GeForce Now Support
Nvidia has announced that it will support Cyberpunk 2077 on its GeForce Now streaming platform when the game launches in November 2020. This is good news for those who can't stretch out for an all-new, expensive gaming PC, but would like to take advantage of the promised radius of the visual games drawn because they will be able to play it with RTX On. You'll have to buy Cyberpunk 2077 on Steam before playing it on GeForce Now, but it's a huge win for Nvidia after losing Activision Blizzard games.
? Next stop: City of the night. Cyberpunk 2077 comes to GeForce NOW at launch More info → https://t.co/DuK53ktkrh pic.twitter.com/hjNVsom58f19 February 2020 VR doesn't happen
It seems that CD Projekt Red considered a VR element for Cyberpunk 2077, but it ultimately proved untenable. In an interview with OnMSFT, producer John Mamais said that VR is "very experimental and niche" and therefore not a great fit for the game. "We tried," he said. he explained: "We were thinking about VR but, yeah, we're not doing anything with VR." Mamais wasn't particularly open about the issue of a Nintendo Switch port, either, saying it's unlikely, but similar things had been considered for The Witcher 3. "I don't know if Cyberpunk 2077 would work on the Nintendo Switch. It might be too heavy for that. But then we put Witcher 3 on it and we thought it would be too heavy as well, but in some other way, we managed it." Big names on the soundtrack
CD Projekt Red used The Game Awards to give players a better idea of the music that will be featured in Cyberpunk 2077 and set the tone for exploring Night City. A behind-the-scenes segment confirmed that artists such as Run the Jewels, Refused, Grimes, A € AP Rocky, Gazelle Twin, Ilan Rubin, Richard Devine, Nina Kravitz, Rat Boy and Tina Guo will appear and there will be even more confirmed. . You can see the segment for yourself below:
So what is Night City like? @Runjewels @Refused @Grimezsz @asvpxrocky @gazelletwin @IlanRubin @RichardDevine @NinaKraviz @DeadlyHunta @RATBOY @Tinaguo #TheGameAwards #Cyberpunk2077 pic.twitter.comV5 December Play Card
An official art and story book for Cyberpunk 2077 has surfaced on Amazon and its cover gives us an insight into part of the game's Night City map. The map shown on the cover isn't huge but it's dense and doesn't seem to cover everyone in the game: a cut at the edges suggests exploration will extend beyond the city walls, correlating with previous interviews with Pawel Sasko, who revealed that an external area known as the Badlands will be explorable. Not only that, the fact that we've already seen a subway map of the city before makes us think that Night City will explore both vertically and horizontally. Reddit Q&A reveals more details
More information about the depth of Cyberpunk 2077 was revealed in a recent Q&A on Reddit in which a user shared information about his presence at a Q&A day with CD Projekt Red in Poland. According to the poster, the day and night cycle of the game will have an impact on the missions; At certain times of the day, for example, a location may be more or less monitored, which could affect your chances of success. However, the weather will not have such a severe impact, although the characters in the game will react to it. It has been revealed that the game's criminal system is just as dynamic, so the police will not attack you for a minor crime as they attack a specific individual. But they will "try to fry your ass" for more extreme things, like causing damage to large groups of people with a gun or a vehicle. The missions in the game will be far-reaching, branching and evolving, even affecting each other. And the game won't necessarily end with the completion of the main story; you can choose to continue playing. The gameplay would be higher with this game than The Witcher 3. When it comes to customization, the developer acknowledged that players are interested in customizing the car, but asked for more patience before saying anything about the plans, whereas, oddly enough, , there will be no option to buy a new apartment. Instead, V's apartment will evolve and change according to the paths players take when playing the game, and will have customization and expression options within, even if they are unconfirmed.
We're still a long way off from any kind of post-launch content for Cyberpunk 2077, but fans have been thinking about how CD Projekt Red might consider monetizing it. Well, the studio doesn't seem to have locked down a definite path yet, but it's under consideration and the most likely scenario seems to be that the game will follow in the footsteps of content after The Witcher 3 releases. In an interview with GameSpot at PAX Australia, the CDPR's Krakow office head John Mamais said: "I think it's a bad idea to do microtransactions after you've released a game. However, it seems to be very profitable. It's probably a tough call for the guy running the business to decide whether it does or not. But if everyone hates it, why would we do such a thing and lose our customers' goodwill?" Regarding Mamais, the Witcher 3 model that saw free DLC released with large paid extensions was "a good model" that "worked quite well. As a result, Mamais added: "I don't see why we wouldn't try to replicate this model with Cyberpunk 2077. We're not talking about it yet, but it seems like it would be the best way to do it." photo mode?
Let's face it, we all want to take photos of Night City and there have been hints that it might be possible when the game launches. The developer previously told fans that there are plans to include a photo mode in it and that a recent video posted to Twitter suggested this might be the case. The video shows a scene of the city skyline at night as the camera symbol appears briefly. The hashtags in the tweet itself read Capture Cyberpunk and Photos From Night City. This makes a photo mode very likely and given that it's a feature found in most big budget games these days that may not be entirely surprising. However, the game's first-person perspective can present some challenges if CD Projekt Red wants to allow players to take photos that include their fully customized avatars.

We know you are devastated. We are all. But now it's been confirmed that Keanu Reeves is not a character you can fall in love with during Cyberpunk 2077 (via PCGamer). What about multiplayer?
After stating multiple times that the multiplayer elements were in R&D, but saying nothing else, CD Projekt Red confirmed on Twitter that it was definitely in the works. So far, the plan seems to be to release the game in November as a solo experience, and then follow up with various unique DLCs that will be free to download and play, after which players will start being invited for "certain multiplayer." ". "action". So multiplayer is a bit behind, but it happens.
1/2 So far, all we've said about the multi was that it was in R&D. As we get closer to the Cyberpunk 2077 "solo" release in April 2020, we'd like to confirm that the multi is in the works! multiplayer mode! If you want to lend us, your skills apply: https://t.co/QQV6qsuvhk pic.twitter.com/GHbiS5N3DTSSep 4, 2019 Character creation will be fluid by gender.
In an interview with Metro, senior concept artist Marthe Jonkers said that players would be able to customize their characters' gender expression in a much more seamless way than traditional RPGs, with two body and voice types. man/woman who can mix and match as he wishes. . Jonkers said that "you don't choose your gender anymore. You don't choose 'I want to be a female or a male character', now you choose a body type. Because we want you to feel free to create the character you want." GTA Style Radio
You can listen to GTA style music while cruising in your vehicle. Coming to Stadia
Cyberpunk 2077 has been announced for the game streaming service Google Stadia.
In an interview with Wccftech, CD Projekt Red's Alvin Liu spoke about the hardcore mode, revealing that it will get rid of the game's UI to provide a "real challenge" for players. This means that there will be no markers or indicators telling you where things are or what level of enemy you are up against. It's a true immersion into Night City and the desert beyond with the potential for real frustration. Of course, it's not just hardcore gamers who support Cyberpunk 2077; Liu has revealed that there will also be modes for those who are less experienced with gaming and first-person shooters and want a more relaxed experience. "If you want to play more casually for the story and you might not have experience with shooters, which was really a big concern for us. We want to tell a story and maybe a big fan of The Witcher and you're not comfortable with a shooter, we have configurations available for that." Liu explains that in addition to settings for less experienced players, there will also be weapons. The smart weapon, for example, will help players aim. Although this is done at the expense of the smart weapon, which is a weaker and slower weapon. However, it will be a good start for those looking to get familiar with the aiming system. For those unfamiliar with first-person games, there will also be a Field of View slider. Making the game world more visible through the eyes of the avatar should alleviate that feeling of tunnel vision that comes from exchanging third-person for first-person opinions and the risk of nausea it can cause for some. players Environmental hazards
In an interview with Wccftech, UI Director Alan Liu revealed that Cyberpunk 2077 will exhibit dynamic weather conditions such as acid rain and other environmental hazards.
The game includes a number of difficulty levels for those who may have a hard time adjusting to playing an FPS-style role-playing game. Cyberpunk 2077 will be just as good on console as it is on PC
In an interview with Wccftech, UI Director Alan Liu was asked about the challenges of optimizing Cyberpunk 2077 for low-end hardware. "Not really, we have a very customized engine, the RED engine," Liu said. "And in fact, we're targeting consoles as first-class platforms and it sounds amazing there. So obviously if you spent, you know, $2,000 to build your PC rig, it's going to be all the better. But the graphics are pretty amazing." so you'll get from Cyberpunk 2077 on low-end consoles and PC. "Could we see a film adaptation in the future?
In an interview with VGC at E3 2019, Pondsmith admitted that Keanu Reeves' involvement in the game made the possibility of a Cyberpunk movie adaptation that much more likely. "I can't really say anything about it," Pondsmith told VGC when asked if he was opting for the Cyberpunk movie rights. "But with Keanu Reeves attached to things, it became much more of a possibility." “At this point, we are teaching people about this new kind of cyberpunk. My favorite movie is Blade Runner, but I admit that it is a movie about the brain and that 2049 was even more cerebral. A cerebral movie isn't necessarily going to let other people into this space and understand you, but at the same time, you don't want to make it fully actionable. " Keanu Reeves' group gets their first single
If Keanu Reeves' appearance in Cyberpunk 2077 as a rock star wasn't enough, punk group Refused creates the music for their in-game group (called Samurai). And if that wasn't enough, Samurai released their first single, Chippin' In, probably something to do with microchips, so you can start to get a feel for the soundscapes of Night City. There may or may not be three games in development
Polish news site Bankier reported that CD Projekt president Adam Kiciński had confirmed the existence of another AAA game set in the Cyberpunk 2077 universe, likely the follow-up planned for next year. - with a secondary team apparently also working on multiplayer. . CD Projekt refuted the claims, but declined to say whether a sequel could appear across the board. To be fair, they're probably focused on releasing the main title first. Choose your protagonists
Instead of a defined main character as the warlock, it looks like we'll have a few options to choose from. Paweł Sasko, the lead quest designer for Cyberpunk 2077, commented that "The player in Cyberpunk 2077 can create a custom character that has one of three original storylines, which we call Lifepaths", each with their own "location" and background that are strongly tied to the original story" (via VG24/7). The three options are Street Kid, Nomad, and Corporate. There will be romance
Fans of The Witcher 3's romantic subplots will be happy to know that CD Projekt is bringing something similar to Cyberpunk 2077. In an interview with GamesRadar, the game's quest designer Mateusz Tomaskiewicz confirmed that players will be able to have relationships with different "entities," all of which will have their own stories, goals, and ideas that you can engage with. He stopped confirming the number of romantic threads players will be able to pursue and whether or not one of them will be with Keanu Reeves. However this seems unlikely.
Players won't be constrained by any sort of moral system in Cyberpunk 2077, Mateusz Tomaskiewicz confirmed in an interview with GamingBolt. Given the complex nature of decisions made by players in The Witcher 3, this decision to favor gray probably won't come as much of a surprise. This means that if you want to play the entire game without killing anyone, you absolutely can. Or if you want to be the next grim reaper, you can do that too. You just have to invest in the right gaming skills to do it. There's more than a city at night
Por lo que hemos visto hasta ahora, el scenario de la Ciudad Nocturna en Cyberpunk 2077 parece un lugar impresionante, vasto y muy neón para explorar. Pero no será el único lugar en el juego para explorar. In an interview with VG247, Lead Quest Designer Pawel Sasko revealed that players will be able to go beyond the walls of the metropolis and explore an area known as the "Badlands". Largely desolate and populated by nomads, this area will have its own quests. You can even start the game as a nomad and begin your story outside of town. Multiple endings
In an interview with CD Projekt, YouTuber Yong Yea got confirmation that Cyberpunk 2077 will have multiple endings. It's unclear exactly how many there will be, but it fits the expansive image of the game being presented and the idea of players creating a very personal story.
At E3 2019, we got a chance to see Cyberpunk 2077 in a closed-door demo centered around Pacifica - Night City's southernmost region - and Keanu Reeves' character, Johnny Silverhand. The weirdest part? Keanu may actually be the key to immortality. Yes, you read correctly. Inside Pacifica, two gangs - The Animals and The Voodoo Boys - fight for supremacy. In order to meet Bridgitte, the leader of the Voodoo Boys, you'll first have to deal with her lieutenant Placide, who wants you to infiltrate the animal hideout. Your goal, or so you're told, is to find a high-tech van that monitors all network traffic in Pacifica. To get to this van, you will need to pass the animal crew. The reason they call themselves animals, it turns out, is that they take a drug that improves their muscle mass. To overcome them, you'll either have to fight your way through - a dicey proposition - or sneak into the hideout. Customization: Perks, Skills, and Attributes
You will customize your character's appearance; you will customize their backstory; you'll customize their base skills and grant them perks that will make them who they are. If you want a ninja samurai who came from the streets and is skilled in firearms and hand-to-hand combat, you can do that. If you want a super net runner hacker who can take control of turrets and turn into enemies, you can do that too. The choices are vast and while not completely limitless, CD Projekt Red doesn't want to limit you to a single playing style or set path. The reasoning behind this, it seems, is to better reflect the game's source material - a 30-year-old tabletop role-playing game called Cyberpunk (however, there was also a later edition called Cyberpunk 2020). Behind all the hacking and shooting game is quite a complex RPG - the perks screen we saw during our demo had over 20 perks to choose from and level up. These perks impact how your character plays, but can also influence the choices you have in conversations with NPCs in the world.
Given that it's based on a tabletop role-playing game and Cyberpunk is already a massive subgenre of sci-fi, we knew Cyberpunk 2077 hadn't been fully lifted from the ether without any sort of twist. 'influence. But we're still interested in learning about some of the more subtle influences on the game and the way it plays, some of which were revealed by Quest director Mateusz Tomaskiewicz in a recent interview with gaming publication AreaJugones. Tomaskiewicz said games such as Deus Ex, Vampire Bloodlines, and Elder Scrolls influenced him in his work on Cyberpunk 2077 quests. He cites the original Deus Ex as a particular influence and praises the way it gives players the freedom to complete missions in multiple ways. This suggests that we can expect a lot of freedom and complexity and non-linearity in Cyberpunk 2077's missions as well as the protagonist you'll use to wreak havoc on the game world, which is something quite unlike the tight gameplay loop found in The Witcher. CD Projekt Red is working on two AAA titles - both out by 2021
CD Projekt Red a confirmé qu'il prévoyait toujours de sortir deux titres AAA d'ici 2021. Bien que nous sachions que l'un de ces titres sera certainement Cyberpunk 2077, nous ne savons toujours pas ce que pourrait être le deuxième titre. This release window was reaffirmed on the official CD Projekt Red forums, with moderator Donata Popławska confirming the studio is sticking to its original roadmap. "As far as the strategy of the CD Projekt Capital Group for 2016-2021 is concerned, its plans to release the second AAA game by 2021 remain unchanged," the moderator wrote (translated via Resetera user Antiax). However, Popławska did not expand on what the second AAA title to be released in this time frame could be. "We are currently focusing on the production and promotion of Cyberpunk, so we do not want to comment on further projects," they continued.
For those of you asking, yes, we will be at E3 this year.February 28, 2019
Lady Gaga could be making an appearance?
According to french site ActuGaming, Lady Gaga and CD Projekt Red are collaborating for Cyberpunk 2077 and the artist has already visited the Polish studio to take part in motion-capture – suggesting she will have a character role in the game itself.
In addition ActuGaming claimed the collaboration would be officially announced at E3 2019, with Gaga rumored to be making an appearance at the gaming convention however that didn't happen.
In 2018 Gaga tweeted a strange mix of letters and numbers, which the official Cyberpunk 2077 Twitter account replied to with "Of course! Of course we will!", suggesting the A Star is Born actress would be involved with the game in some way or another.
Bien sûr! Of course we will! ?September 18, 2018
E3 2018 confirmed features
We got to spend some time watching a demo of Cyberpunk 2077 during E3 and we learned some interesting things about the game.
It's a first person RPG set in a huge open world known as Night City – a metropolis split into six districts, each offering a different environment to explore. During the demo we only saw a small part of one of them.
Players can create their own character called V and embark on their journey to crawl up from the criminal underbelly. This is a dark game and though The Witcher series is mature, this takes it to a new level.
As you'd expect, the game lets you augment your body using various bits of tech – illegal or otherwise – and you can use drugs to enhance your combat, or a kind of digital brain-hack called 'Braindance'. We know weapons are wide ranging and seriously creative, with smart guns and bullets as well as terrifying Mantis Blades for melee.
There are no loading screens in Cyberpunk 2077 and the story and side quests are branching and numerous, and your choices genuinely impact the outcome. You can read more about how impressed were were by what we saw.
Good news Steam fans: Cyberpunk 2077 will definitely be coming to the platform. At the Pareto Securities Gaming Seminar (via PCGamesN) the studio’s CEO Adam Kiciński gave a presentation in which he confirmed that the game would not be exclusive to GOG. There's been a lot of furore over the Metro Exodus being 'removed' from Steam and onto the Epic Games Store, but it looks like CD Projekt Red is steering clear of that minefield. It’s going to be bigger than The Witcher 3
It would have been a pretty safe guess to say that Cyberpunk 2077 is going to be a big game, but in an interview with MCV in 2015 visual effects artist Jose Teixeira said it’s going to be “far, far bigger” than anything the studio has ever done. In fact, he said that The Witcher 3 was being treated as a learning experience and that they could do better. To do better, the studio has doubled in size with studio head Adam Badowski saying that after The Witcher 3, Cyberpunk 2077 needs to be “even better, even bigger, even more revolutionary” than what had originally been planned.
It was confirmed years ago that the game would have multiplayer elements but what exactly they’ll be is unclear. It was said, though, that the game would mainly focus on single player. The company president said in March 2018 that these elements are not on the table right now, so it's possible that they'll be introduced after the game's release in a sort of online world like GTA Online. There will be online
As well as multiplayer, CD Projekt's CEO has confirmed that there will also be online elements to the game. In an interview with Polish tech site Strefa Inwestorow Kiciński stated that “Online is necessary, or very recommended if you wish to achieve a long-term success. At some point, we have mentioned that there will be a certain online element related to Cyberpunk.” Whether or not the online elements will feed into the multiplayer is unclear. There won't be microtransactions
CD Projekt Red tweeted to quell fears over microtransactions in online components, stating that Cyberpunk 2077 will be "nothing less than" the Witcher 3, adding that players will "get what pay for" with "no hidden catch." It appears that while many studios are feeling the need to move to a service model to ensure their titles make money, CD Projekt is staying committed to the story-driven single player experience with Cyberpunk 2077, one which served them very well with The Witcher.
