Now The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt has come along and swept us off
our feet, anticipation for CD Projekt RED’s other project has only grown in
stature. Cyberpunk 2077 was originally revealed back in 2013, but CD Projekt
RED and sci-fi fans should brace themselves for a bit of disappointment.
CDPR CEO Adam Kicinski has said the Polish developer won’t
even be talking about Cyberpunk 2077 until at least 2017, claiming 2015 and
2016 are all about The Witcher 3. It looks like we could have quite the wait on
our hands for the promising role-playing game, but Kicinski reckons Cyberpunk
2077 will be an even bigger commercial success than The Witcher 3 has been.
“We broke into the mainstream. It is such a moment in our
firm’s history that after some years people will look differently at CD Projekt
before and after this release,” said Kicinski.
“We hope and we are certain that Cyberpunk has even bigger
commercial potential. It is too early to talk about it, though. This year, and
the next one will be the years of the Witcher.”
It’s not all bad news though, that 584 day wait until 2017
is going to be made a little easier with the arrival of two Witcher 3 expansion
packs. The first of these is Hearts of Stone, due in October, and Blood and
Wine, coming in early 2016, adding a total of 30 hours of gameplay.
Anyway, it's time to bid farewell to Cyberpunk 2077, we'll
see you again in a couple of years. Disappointed CD Projekt's next game is so
far off? Should they have announced it so soon?
