CD Projekt Red isn't resting on their laurels. The polish game developers are the toast of the industry thanks to the runaway success of their latest game The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt. The role playing epic featured one of the biggest and most expansive open worlds ever created for a video game, with each corner packed with interesting landmarks and side quests.
The game is truly an achievement for modern gaming, but CD projekt says that their next title, the mysterious Cyberpunk 2077, will be even bigger. Speaking with MCVUK, visual effects artist Jose Teixeira said,
'Cyberpunk is far bigger than anything else that CD Projekt Red has done before, [...] We're really stepping into the unknown in terms of complexity and size and problems we encounter.'
Not much is known about the upcoming title except that it will be a stark departure from the dark, medieval fantasy setting of the Witcher series. Teixera told the publication that the Witcher 3 helped the team wrap their heads around the scope of Cyberpunk,
'If anything, working on The Witcher 3 was a really good and often brutal learning experience. Cyberpunk is going to benefit greatly from it. I can almost guarantee it.
I have a lot of things that I want to change and do better the next time around, and I can guarantee that almost everyone in that studio has something that they go 'I did this this time, next time I can do it differently, I can do it better'.
However he does stress that it will be quite a while before the game hits shelves.
For now gamers can enjoy more of the Witcher 3 as the first of the game's two announced expansion packs, Hearts of Stone, releases next week.
