With the release of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt last year and its final expansion pack The Withcer 3: Wild Hunt - Blood and Wine, developer CD Projekt Red now has its whole studio focused on Cyberpunk 2077. Details have been scant since its reveal three years ago.
Back then, CD Projekt Red was still busy in development for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt so that is reason for enough for the lack of information and updates for Cyberpunk 2077. But now that development focus has shifted on Cyberpunk 2077, new information about the game will start to trickle. The most recent bit of information comes from Cyberpunk 2077 Executive Producer John Mamais.
On November 18, 2016 during the pre-show of the Golden Joystick Awards, John Mamais gave the viewers updates on Cyberpunk 2077. The producer revealed that CD Projekt Red have been working on The Witcher series since the game development's studio's inception which was nine years ago. And despite every game from The Witcher series from 2008 to 2016 has been released to glowing reviews, the developers from the company are probably burned out from the franchise according to John Mamais.
With Cyberpunk 2077, the developers now have a blank canvas to paint with finally offering them a reprieve from the medieval fantasy world of The Witcher Series to a sci-fi, futuristic setting of Cyberpunk 2077. This will reignite the fire for the developers which may have been slowly fading due to 8 years of development for The Witcher games.
When pressed for more information on Cyberpunk 2077, John Mamia refused the request, jokingly telling the viewers that his throat would be cut off if he gave out more information regarding Cyberpunk 2077. But he did mention that game is going to be "really, really, really fucking badass." Judging by the games that CD Projekt Red have released, fans have good reason to believe John Mamia's most recent comments.
Cyberpunk 2077 was first revealed at the beginning of 2013. There have been no concrete details regarding the game since its reveal. There were details with its release (CD Projekt Red plans to release Cyberpunk 2077 between 2017 - 2022) and gameplay (could feature multiplayer and a huge living city) but nothing official. Stay tuned for more updates on Cyberpunk 2077.
