Cyberpunk 2077 loses key developers
Is Cyberpunk 2077 in trouble? Although that conclusion may be a bit too hasty, it is noteworthy that several key developers left CD Projekt RED last month.
If you are eagerly waiting for Call of Duty: Black Ops III.
The other name is Red Dead Redemption II.
- RPG announced in 2012 – the release date is yet to be announced;
- In development by a team of over 300 people;
- several key developers left the studio at the end of September.
Another important employee who walked away from the studio last month was the Project Manager Ovidiu Traian Vasilescu, who has spent the last couple of days as a producer in V11 STUDIO GAME. He is an experienced game designer who had served different roles in Ubisoft for many years.
Last but not least is the longtime CD Projekt RED veteran The Witcher 3 expansions and Cyberpunk 2077. He too left the company at the end of September.
Of course CD Projekt is a large studio that hires hundreds of employees (there are over 300 people working on Cyberpunk 2077 alone), so the departure of several of them does not seem to be a huge problem – and it likely isn’t. However, the figures in discussion are more than ordinary employees, plus they all left the company at the same time. So maybe there really was a bigger issue that could not be resolved in the existing team composition. We’ve asked CD Projekt RED about the matter, but we’re yet to hear from them.
Cyberpunk 2077 was announced back in 2012, but we still know very little about the game. And we shouldn’t hope for any more details coming in the near future, as it is known far and wide that this year belongs to Gwent: The Witcher Card Game. Perphaps we’ll get to hear more specific inforomation next year.
- CD Projekt believes that the trend for singleplayer games like The Witcher and Cyberpunk will never die out
- Elden Ring, Cyberpunk 2077, and 120 FPS confirmed for Switch 2. Not even that historical freeze could curb my enthusiasm during today’s Nintendo Direct
- Several years of improving Cyberpunk 2077 are expected to help Switch 2 version avoid PS4 and Xbox One editions fate, says CD Projekt RED
