Cyberpunk will be perceived as a successful game, believes CD Project -apkrig
At the end of October, CD Projekt postponed all other Cyberpunk 2077 updates, including next-gen enhancements, to 2022. The postponement was made quietly and players were not notified until the Video Games Chronicle editorial office noticed a change in the schedule on the website. games. CD Projekt subsequently confirmed that no patch will be released this year and has given rise to further criticism and skepticism among fans. Nevertheless, Project CEO Adam Kiciński thinks that this delay will not change the success of the game and hopes that in the long run, players will perceive Cyberpunk 2077 as a quality product to which they will return in the coming years.
Cyberpunk 2077 is the largest, most ambitious and definitely the most complex project in our 27-year history, ”says the company’s president.
New statements were made in an interview with the Polish economic magazine Rzeczpospolita, which was created on the occasion of the approaching anniversary of the first year since the original launch on PCs and consoles of the previous generation. Adam Kiciński was very optimistic, although he naturally did not hide the mistakes that the CD Projekt RED team had to face. “Cyberpunk 2077 is the largest, most ambitious and certainly the most complex project in our 27-year history,” says the company’s president. He claims that they tried to go one step further in all aspects, as they did during the release of individual parts of the The Sorcerer series. “The release of the game, based on a completely new brand, brings many challenges and risks, especially if the concept is so complex. We are proud of many aspects of the game, but as we know, not everything was as we imagined, “says Kiciński.
Regardless, CD Projekt is convinced that it has built a strong awareness of the Cyberpunk brand, which includes the entire game world, individual characters and various details, which, according to Kiciński, are popular with players and fans from all over the world. “We believe that in the long run, Cyberpunk 2077 will be seen as a very good game and, like our other titles, will be sold for many years to come,” added the company’s president. The potential is said to unlock the increasing hardware performance and gradual improvement of the game by the developers, which is currently the primary goal of a large part of the human capacity of the RED Project CD.
As for the next updates, it seems that the first of them will actually arrive with the upcoming next-gen patch. Kiciński reaffirmed that players have nothing to expect this year and added that improvements for the new generation of consoles will accompany the big patch for version 1.5. “The decision to postpone the next-gen version of Cyberpunk was difficult, but we believe it was the right one. Especially since it was clear from the recommendations of our development team, which needs additional time to fine-tune the visuals and performance of the game, ”adds Adam Kiciński. Similarly, there is a next-gen update for The Sorcerer 3, who is due to arrive later – probably during the second quarter of next year – and the delay is due to the extent of changes and fixes that need to be made in the less than seven-year-old game.
The last piece of information repeated by Kicińský is the lack of interest in buying another company or looking for an investor.
However, we remind you that the people from the RED Project CD are not working to improve Zaklícan 3, but port experts from Saber Interactive. This is the same team that developed the game for Nintendo Switch and also works on the Kingdom Come: Deliverance port from Warhorse. In addition to this collaboration, CD Projekt also addresses other internal teams, including two recent additions – Spokko and Molasses Flood. The first is working on the mobile game The Witcher: Monster Slayer, the second on an unannounced game from one of the two IP CD Project. It should continue to be the case that the main development branch of the company will also deal with Cyberpunk and the Sorcerer and will not run into any third IP. The last piece of information repeated by Kicińský is the lack of interest in buying another company or looking for an investor.
