Witcher 3 Dev Is "Focusing On Cyberpunk 2077"

Gamespot:

"Developer CD Projekt Red has revealed that most of the staff in its studio are now contributing to the development of anticipated sci-fi role-playing game Cyberpunk 2077. Speaking to GameSpot in an interview, lead quest designer Mateusz Tomaszkiewicz discussed the studio's current focus on the anticipated sci-fi RPG."

They've still gotta release 'Blood and Wine' - Wild Hunt's second expansion, which adds a whole new region (featuring Toussaint - an Elven city that became Nilfgaard's version of an alcoholic's Disneyland) and 20+ hours of gameplay - so it's not like CDPR are done with the Witcher... and as awesome as Cyberpunk will no-doubt be, I'd sell my soul for a third Wild Hunt expansion - so long as it was set in Kovir (whose capital is like a chilly Venice, with lots of money, mages and mercs).

That said, I can see why devs like Tomaszkiewicz (lead quest designer) and other 'core gameplay' designers would have moved on to Cyberpunk - which must be refreshing after a decade of making the Witcher so dang great... I imagine they're enjoying working on a franchise that gives them some real creative freedom - not to mention the luxury of a proper big budget.

Here's hoping they use some of that extra cash to bolster their numbers and get Cyberpunk out before 2020... and here's double hoping the rumours about 'Blood and Wine' getting delayed weren't true.

So far as I know, it's still due out in Jan/Feb, but I don't think it's date has ever been confirmed... C'mon CDPR - FOR THE MUFFS!!!

Though this news in a way should be good new trilogy making cash taking a break from cyberpunk and all that i would like to reminded everyone that the new cdpr is pro esg. There focus going forward is to make games for everyone so the next witcher will have less everything watch the swearing/blood be political the main character might just be a woman that is trans lesbian perhaps likes dogs who knows.

see video cfo cdpr there new esg vision

I am a witcher fan enjoyed cyberpunk but i know the old devs are all gone the people that made red engine are all gone so this is a new team with a new visions under the esg the same esg that looks at a company like sweet baby as visionaries.

So take this news with a grain of salt as the chance of witcher 3 magic again is very low seeing how starfield removed gore to appease the masses and we are gun ho with live service. We will see what this looks like but keep your expectations low.

I mean remember how netflix wither is being handled though yes more on that teams side than cdpr but yikes.

I will leave rebel wolves site they are made up from former cdpr devs

Though still hush hush on there new rpg.

Not sure what's bad about esg. But you mentioned Sweet Baby Inc. So I'm gonna say you're one of those

AdonisIsBeast20d ago

Lol you must be very sheltered to not pay attention to what esg is doing to the United States

TheColbertinator20d ago

Definitely one of those. I would laugh if they weren't so pathetic.

Esg/blackrock are the behind the scenes companies like the old mgs games were the say our leaders are puppets.

Instead of making a game a game they make it to the esg stranded or how i call it the clipboard effect.

Here is a good fyi video about esg and disney

I honestly think Cyberpunk is one of the best games I’ve played this gen. The immersion is still better than any game I’ve played in the past several years. Really glad this did well, but we all know CDPR better not bull sh*t people with fake trailer and gameplay previews or try to hide a dumpster fire last-gen version of a game.

just_looken20d ago

They made more than 2 game series by the way there pokemon go clone failed and gwent is basically dead so in a way they already have.

And now they are pro esg
