- CD Projekt Currently Has More Than 400 Developers Working On Cyberpunk 2077
- Cyberpunk 2077 Gets Over 400 Developers Working On It
Cyberpunk 2077 Creative Director Sebastian Stępień may have departed CD Projekt RED for Blizzard, but that doesn’t mean work on the upcoming sci-fi RPG is stopping.
Recently, StockWatch discovered from Investor Relations Director at CD Projekt RED Karolina Gnaś that the development team is now comprised of over 400 units. She stated in response to Stępień’s departure:
- His departure does not affect the pace of work on our latest title in any way. The team working on Cyberpunk 2077 already has over 400 people
On the discovery, the most largest development team ever seen was on The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt which was 250. So yeah… Cyberpunk breaking the record, is gonna be a pretty big game, we guess!!
Set in the same universe as Mike Pondsmith’s classic pen & paper RPG system, Cyberpunk 2020, 2027 will be a massive open world title. it is absolutely an RPG first and a shooter second, according to the developers.
CD Projekt RED’s Quest Designer Patrick Mills told Official Xbox Magazine.
- Well, it’s an RPG. It’s an RPG before it’s a shooter. And it’s really about making a character and inhabiting that character and living in this world and making choices from not just the point of view of that character but also of yourself. With The Witcher, you had Geralt, and Geralt had history. He had decades of books, games, comics and even a television series, with a new one on the way, and it was about guiding him through his story. But with this, we want it to be your story. So really, putting you in first person is the only way to do that.
