Soundtrack of Cyberpunk 2077

The creators also decided to provide detailed information about the game's soundtrack - radio stations, artists involved in creating the music (several new tracks are available here), as well as a special mode that will allow online creators (e.g. streamers) to completely disable licensed songs (in response to recent problems on Twitch).

JALI technology in Cyberpunk 2077

Then we learned a little more about JALI technology, which allows the developers to adjust the mouth movement and facial expressions of the characters to the pre-recorded lines by the actors, to make the animations more suitable for the language chosen by the player.
