CDPR confirms the second AAA title in development was CyberPunk multiplayer, 2021 release is unlikely
- Thread starter modiz
- Start date
To be honest, I did not expect this. It's not that surprising hearing it, but they aren't a studio known for multiplayer.
It's extra weird considering cyberpunk's combat is somewhat unproven at this state.
they´ve announced the possibility of multiplayer long ago, they have stocks, they are commercial as Ubisoft and want a large audience as possible...Witcher 3 showed them what it is possible on todays market.
everyone who knows whats up expected this delay. they want the big money and it is offputting. all these news are for stockholders and not for players
uhm..yes. that is the whole problem about gaming these days.
Unpopular opinion maybe: what a waste of money, time and talent. Would have loved an original IP.
Not sure how they plan to release a multiplayer-only AAA title in 2021.
With the rocky development of Cyberpunk, the people who've left the studio throughout the years, the stories about the labor conditions, and now with a plan to release a multiplayer-only title as their other AAA product, I do not feel that CD Projekt is in the best condition at the moment. But we will see.

I don't get how this news indicates it's all about money. What changes on that front? How is not making money good news?
as long as Desperados 3 and Streets of Rage 4 make it..i am fine.
it is all about money at this point
it is a big problem, gone are the days of people wanting to deliver a good game. it is about stocks, money and fame. and about reaching the lowest common determinator

Exactly my point. They're going to attempt to enter a highly competitve market already dominated by companies much bigger than themselves and it'll be a AAA product that will either have to be F2P to stay competitive or a premium one-time purchase that will make its chances of popularity much lower. Either way, a multiplayer-only FPS title in 2021 that has to bring back a AAA budget is not a very safe bet.
GTAO is INSANELY successful. Everyone would chase it if they had the resources and range that Rockstar does. It's not surprising that CDPR would go after it.
I mean, Apex hasn't exactly had the rosiest road after release and that's a game made by a group that has a long pedigree of very good multiplayer games.
It's gonna be a tough road to hoe.
Ah yes, of course. No, I'm inclined to agree here. Aside from that though I'm just not looking to CDPR for multiplayer experiences.
This disappoint me more than the Cyberpunk delay. Maybe not Witcher 4, but I hoped for something else.
Are you saying they won't be making the witcher 5 to make money. Or it'll be a labor of love because that's what some of y'all want out of them?
I didn't know what to expect, but I remember distinctly everyone going around confirming it wouldn't be something like this. Oh well. We'll see TW4 or whatever next gen.
a 2nd triple-A title being announced as the mutiplayer mode that should have gone in the main game.. lol way to hype yourselves and look lame as fuck on announcing the delay. Seriously this is beyond funny.
I'm saying that if successful on the same level of it's peers, a cyberpunk online would be DRAMATICALLY more profitable and successful than the Witcher 4.
Like...insanely more profitable, like...they're not even in the same conversation.
Like INSANELY MORE PROFITABLE.
I'm not saying they're scrapping everything to go whole hog into this, but...yeah, it's not hard to see why they would put another single player game in a franchise that's well trodden on the backburner for something that has the possibility to print seemingly infinite money.
devs still want to deliver good exceptional games and they do. They also want to have profit , this is how AAA industry works . If you really think CDPR devs making cyberpunk 2077 only thinking about stocks, fame and lowest common denominator . Then I dont know what to tell you, I just hope then you apply same mindset to ND, Kojima or any other acclaimed developer
The thing is...these days if you are into videogames...it is all too predictable. it is boring when you already know the delays, the sequels, the remasters and the next entry in the well running franchise. sequelitis is a thing
not only the gameplay but also the way to release, the upcoming releases, the playthrough of the favour of the month game...it gets stale
the magic has gone from videogames these days, there is no mystery about it anymore. people will kindly look back to Dark Souls in 2025, " that was crazy" because gaming is too predictable these days.
now excuse me while i go back playing Dodonpachi Daioujou..

I'm interested in Cyberpunk multiplayer as long as it's a separate game. Way more than a possible Witcher 4. They probably should have messaged that better though before to set expectations better. It won't matter in the scheme of things in the end though.
I do find some irony in this post given how often you crap on VR which is arguably where the most innovation and experimentation in video games is happening today with very little motive in profit given the current size of the user base.
May as well make it a PS6/Xbox Series Y launch title. Joking aside, I do want them to focus on Cyberpunk and maybe a sci-fi IP before Witcher 4. I'd like to see what Witcher 4 would look like with a huge gap (12 years - 2027 sounds about right).
Lots of entitled ass people in here. Why should a huge single player game have a multipler mode at all?
Okay.
Man, all the AAA WRPG devs turning to multiplayer. I understand why but it just makes me feel deflated every time. I want my games for loners lmao

When was the last time you heard of a Multiplayer mode for the game being announced as a separate 2nd AAA title?
grabbing headlines was all that was. lame and yes thats my opinion. thanks
I actually was serious with my answer. I figured that quality DLC and the multiplayer expansion Will occupy CDPR for 2021 and 2022 at least.
So maybe an announcement for the next Witcher game for E3 2022 and a release for 2026 or 7
It's just dumb how you phrase it as a cash grab instead of the studio wanting to make what they're making. The money comes..usually...after you make a sound project.
Nothing about the witcher says multiplayer. It's not surprising that a studio who is continuing to come into their own would want to try this in a world like cyberpunk.
