CD Projekt Red has denied claims made by a supposedly anonymous member of the Cyberpunk 2077 development team, which included the claim that they were planning a huge No Man’s Sky-esque overhaul in June. The alleged insider’s post was copied and pasted on the forums and recapitulated in videos for several weeks, likely because it gave fans hope for the game’s future while giving the rubberneckers plenty of drama. to watch. Yesterday evening, the CDPR declared it “quite simply false”.
CDPR said on Twitter, “Normally we don’t comment on rumors, but this time we wanted to make an exception because this story just isn’t true.”
Their tweet referred to a GameFAQs post that stated that they were reposting another forum post from someone claiming to be an anonymous Cyberpunk developer. It’s been a little bit broadcast, you see.
“CDPR got hurt to keep investors safe and sound,” the message read. “Now the developers are hearing plans for a ‘No Man’s Sky’ style comeback in late June. The first two patches are expected to be released in mid-March, despite what has been said by key executives. There will be major departures from the studio in the coming months. Developer morale is at an all-time low and Sony is burning our asses with the sheer volume of refund requests. “
The post also made statements about entire chunks of the game, including a “huge part of town underground.” He added: “Most of the apartments with the ‘Closed (locked)’ label were looters, we’ve removed over 50,000 lines of dialogue and I think the June update will bring a lot of cut content to the game. . ” And he had a lot of discussion about what had changed or gone wrong, including the change of voice actor from Johnny Silverhand to Keanu Reeves.
In short, the post has given hope to people who want the CDPR to overhaul and expand the game with fixes and ammo to those who are raging against their decisions. I guess CDPR has had enough of everything. And given that the lawyers are trying to launch a class action lawsuit among investors, they are probably very keen to control the rumor.
Of course, I would love to see the CDPR redesign and expand Cyberpunk 2077. Despite its technical and design issues, I really enjoyed my time in Night City with my new cyberpals (over 100 hours now, says Steam, though this includes a lot of time in photo mode). I was one of the folks who called Cyberpunk one of our favorite games of 2020. And there is no doubt that something went well with the creation of the game. But rather than invest myself in rumors and hopes, I will wait to see the CDPR do it.
