CD Projekt Red doesn’t regret makingCyberpunk 2077first-person but hasn’t decided if the sequel will be in first-person.
CD Projekt Red’s Investor Day presentation on October 5 divulged a ton of information about the studio’s futuristic RPG, revealing at one point that the game has officiallysold 25 million copies since its 2020 launch, just asPhantom Libertycleared three million in its first week.
There were also some details about the game’s sequel, codenamedOrion, which is now in active development. At one point during the presentation, someone asked if the team regrets makingCyberpunk 2077first-person, quest director Paweł Sasko explained that it didn’t, but doesn’t know if it’ll be the same case for the sequel (viaIGN).
“There are no regrets on our part,” Sasko said. “What we wanted was forCyberpunkto have its own identity and to be noticeable as this different thing. These days it’sYouTube, Twitch, and screenshots that sell games, and this is the way one can use to show that identity and individuality to players.”
“I wanted to say that the first-person perspective is the main characteristic ofCyberpunkand its perception by the players too. It’s also noticeably different fromThe Witcher, and this helped us craft the product identity as such.”
Although the developer didn’t reveal any more details about the sequel, afterward he added that the decision to have the game in first-person hasn’t been decided at this time, saying, “But forOrion, we’re yet to see.”
In the same presentation, chief creative officer Adam Badowski confirmed that theCyberpunk 2077sequel will be designed by the team of developers responsible forPhantom Liberty.
