Cyberpunk 2077 Interview: Multiplayer 'Currently in R&D Phase'

Cyberpunk 2077 will have multiplayer, but it won’t be at the expense of a single-player campaign.

Of all the games a E3 2018, none of them garnered the same level of interest as Cyberpunk 2077, the upcoming role-playing game from CD Projekt Red. After the success of The Witcher 3, the hunger for details is overwhelming and gamers can’t wait to see what’s in store. Luckily, Shacknews was one of the outlets that was able to get some time with CD Projekt Red, where details like multiplayer and a potential crossover universe with The Witcher 3 were discussed.

The most interesting point of the interview for me was the emphasis on how Cyberpunk 2077 would be a single-player game, with a multiplayer component that stayed true to CD Projekt Red. For that matter, the multiplayer mode is still in the R&D phase. As someone who is more interested in a single-player game than a multiplayer game, this is music to my ears. Multiplayer could be cool, but I’d never want it included at the expense of a single-player experience, and it doesn’t look like that’ll be an issue.
