The Cyberpunk 2077 fanbase went a little wild yesterday when news stories started popping up claiming that CD Projekt Red is currently working on multiple Cyberpunk projects. The story suggested that there were actually three Cyberpunk projects in the works, but as many suspected, that was too good to be true.
The story originally came from Polish site Bankier.pl, which quoted CD Projekt president Adam Kiciński talking about work on "three Cyberpunk things." As it turns out, Google Translate's handling of that quote was pretty far from Kiciński's actual intent. Sorry fans, Cyberpunk 2077 will have to be enough for now.
Once the multiple Cyberpunk stories started breaking, CD Projekt Red quickly shot down the news and provided some context and an accurate translation that sounds a lot more realistic...
"We currently have a total of five teams working on a number of projects, with three focusing on the development of Cyberpunk 2077. These include CD Projekt Red Warsaw and Kraków, who are handling the main game, as well as the Wrocław studio, where around 40 industry specialists are engaged in technology R&D... A separate, dedicated team at the Warsaw studio is handling the development of Gwent. The final team is Spokko, which is currently working on a yet unannounced mobile project."
Considering how big a project Cyberpunk 2077 is (just look at its file size), it definitely make sense that most of CD Projekt Red's resources are dedicated to this game. The game is shipping in April 2020, so perhaps after it breaks some sales records it will be time to start considering additional projects in this universe. Maybe a Keanu character spin-off game?
Be sure to check back in the coming weeks and months for more Cyberpunk 2077 news and updates, as the release date slowly approaches.
Cyberpunk 2077 will be released on April 16, 2020 on PC, PS4, and Xbox One.
