When Cyberpunk 2077 is released, it will be a single-player open-world RPG. But CD Projekt Red are working on a multiplayer component.
In a recent earnings briefing, CD Projekt Red joint CEO Adam Kicinski gives some new details about the multiplayer component, which is not just a multiplayer mode.
“So, first, we don’t call it modes,” Kicinski said. “It’s a separate dedicated production, a big production. We think about it as a standalone product.”
A separate team is working on Cyberpunk 2077 multiplayer to provide ongoing content. It’s now currently in full development and won’t be available in 2021, so there’s a long way to go until we see and hear more of the multiplayer.
The multiplayer being treated as a standalone product draws similarities with how Rockstar Games handle their multiplayer online modes of Grand Theft Auto V (GTA Online) and Red Dead Redemption 2 (Red Dead Online.
Cyberpunk 2077 will be coming out on December 10 for the PS4, PC (Steam, Epic Games Store, GOG), Xbox One and Stadia.
