CD Projekt’s big online Cyberpunk 2077 multiplayer portion will no longer be launched as a standalone release.
The developer announced the change yesterday in a conference call held following the company’s big strategy update, where it briefed investors on how it will continue both Cyberpunk and Witcher franchises over the next few years.
Yesterday’s strategy update vaguely mentioned “reconsidered” multiplayer plans for Cyberpunk 2077, which CD Projekt boss Adam Kiciński was then asked to clarify.
“Regarding online, we are changing our approach, so we want to have online in our future games, definitely, but step-by-step,” Kiciński said (thanks, VGC). “So, we are working on specific features enhancing our single-player [games], but we are not working on releasing the next game [as] a big online experience. So, we will be enhancing our single-player games with online experiences.
