Good information, everybody. The boffins down within the labs have been exhausting at work down in R&D, plugging take a look at punks into one another. No, don’t thoughts the gore… watch the bloodied arm, please. CD Projekt Red have crunched the numbers, and the information is in. This morning, the studio confirmed that Cyberpunk 2077 multiplayer is on its approach.
CD Projekt have been dipping their toes into multiplayer experiments since at least 2016, and assigned much more workers to R&D earlier this year. Now they’re positively going forward, confirming multiplayer on Twitter earlier right now.
half Until now, the one factor we mentioned about multi was that it was in R&D. As we’re getting nearer to launching ‘single player’ Cyberpunk 2077 in Apr. 2020, we’d like to substantiate that multiplayer’s within the works!

A brand new recruitment round for multiplayer positions is kicking off alongside right now’s information. Heads up character artists, designers and community coders – there is perhaps a transfer to Wroclaw in your future.
Don’t maintain your breath for release-day shenanigans, thoughts. Multiplayer will solely come near touchdown as soon as subsequent April’s launch and all deliberate singleplayer DLC are out of the best way. Then, possibly, you may prowl Night City along with your buddies.
“The plan for now is to deliver Cyberpunk 2077 in April, then follow up with DLCs (free!) and singleplayer content, and – once we’re done – invite you for some multiplayer action,” the agency clarified in a follow-up post.
That’s loads of time to take a position on what Cyberpunk 2077 multiplayer may seem like. GTA Online comparisons are the obvious, positive, but additionally probably the most boring. That’d take advantage of sense, however what about some Sub Rosa-style improvised cyber-heists? Invading different gamers’ singleplayer games by means of mind-hacking stealth nonsense? Guitar Hero rock-offs with Johnny Silverhand and buddies?
More importantly: how will Keanu be distributed between tons of or 1000’s of gamers? Will this utopian future supply every of us our personal bespoke Keanu? Or is there solely ever one excellent Keanu, fought over by hordes of tech’d up murderers gunning for a glimpse of that successful Reeves smile?
Sounds like an ideal probability for a sequel to The Matrix Online, actually.
