While developer CD Projekt Red decided against showing new footage to the public during last week’s Gamescom event, it won’t be long before they roll out some fresh content from Cyberpunk 2077, which is currently scheduled to release next April.
The developers behind Cyberpunk 2077 recently revealed the date for their next live stream, as CD Projekt Red is planning on showing 15 minutes of new footage on August 30 at 11 AM Pacific, 2 PM Eastern. Of course, some have already seen the footage that they’re planning on rolling out, as CDPR is going to show a 15-minute edit of the behind-closed-doors footage that they revealed during June’s E3 event and last week’s Gamescom.
In their official announcement, which you can check out below, CD Projekt Red promised to give players a ton of insight into the thought process behind their creative decisions. On top of that, they’re also going to show off Pacifica, which is one of the many districts in Night City.
“Next week we’re going to host a stream during which we’ll unveil a 15-minute edit of what we’ve been showing to journalists and gamers here at Gamescom. Expect a lot of insight into the thought process behind creative decisions, information about Pacifica—one of the districts of Night City—and TONS of stuff on playstyles you’ll be able to adopt when you launch Cyberpunk 2077 next year.”
The devs also talked about the possibility of adding a multiplayer mode to Cyberpunk 2077 post-launch by saying that, while they are working on an online-based mode, it’s still in the R&D phase. They also went on to add that players should only expect to get a single-player experience when the game ships next spring and that they’re only going to add a multiplayer mode if they can develop one that fits the game and its various playstyles.
Lastly, CD Projekt Red said that they’re not going to develop anything that’s not, at the very least, as good as The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, which is largely considered to be the best open-world game of the current generation. So, if that is the case, then Cyberpunk 2077 should be a high-quality game upon launch.
As previously mentioned, Cyberpunk 2077 is currently scheduled to release for the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC next spring, as it’ll launch on April 16, 2020. So, expect to see a lot more from the title in the coming weeks and months, as it’s shaping up to be one of the most anticipated releases of the current generation.
