CD Projekt, the Polish video game company known for The Witcher 3 and (for better or for worse) cyberpunk 2077 has made a presentation today in which they explain the strategy that the study will take over the next few years.
In short, your plan is to expand and improve your production capacity to be able to carry two sagas in parallel, experimenting with other genres and experiences outside of the single-player RPG, and improving the well-being of your workers.
The Witcher and Cyberpunk will be the two pillars on which all the company's work will revolve. However, they have focused on diversifying franchises with independent products, such as The Witcher Monster Slayer, the Augmented Reality mobile game, or Cyberpunk Edgerunners, the anime for Netflix announced last year.
Of course, their focus will continue to be single-player RPG games, but they want to get more value out of their two IPs with this kind of spin-offs of mobile games, animated or live-action series, comics, merchandising ... time, they commit to continue to enrich the core single-player RPG experience: The Witcher 3 introduced action elements, shooter Cyberpunk 2077 ...
His plan to give more arms to all his franchises goes, of course, through online games. The Witcher has the hit Gwentand Cyberpunk will also receive online content... it is assumed.
What's going on with Cyberpunk 2077 online?
In this presentation they claim to have changed their strategy: instead of focusing on a Cyberpunk online game as their next AAA, as previously announced, they prefer to bet on a "systematic and agile" method that you will introduce online in all your games. They talk about a technology that will help them integrate online functionalities in all their developments, although at the moment it is a very vague description.
¿Keep going, then, Cyberpunk Online? The roadmap for 2021 shared by CD Projekt for Cyberpunk 2077 mentions patches, small free updates and the version for next gen, without any mention of online.
