CD Projekt Red did not previously give specific headcounts for its development teams, but in its last financial report, it confirmed that over 25% of the studio was still working to support Cyberpunk 2077 and Phantom Liberty as of a full month after the launch of the expansion. Since then, we’ve gotten Cyberpunk 2077 update 2.1 and a few smaller patches in its wake, but all indications have indeed suggested that support for Cyberpunk is winding down.
We know CD Projekt is already going big for Cyberpunk 2077 sequel Project Orion by recruiting veteran devs from Control, Diablo, Mortal Kombat, and BioWare RPGs, so here’s hoping that the new game lives up to its pedigree – and launches in a better state, too.
Cyberpunk 2077 quest lead says CDPR has explored AI generation, but bots just can’t compare to writers: “The gap in quality, specifically, is huge.”
