Are they really abandoning this game after DLC?

[[OCe]Kagari]

Seen some talks about it, When did they say they will be abandoning the game after DLC? Any official statements? And will they make another Cyberpunk game? I know they are probably focusing on another Witcher game but as much as I love Witcher 3 I prefer Cyberpunk setting and world tbh.

I love these "have the devs forsaken us" threads

It's probably the best that they do just move on.
If you've read any of the horror stories developers have had trying to get the RED engine to work for this game, you'd agree. After this they've begun work using Unreal5, an engine that a majority of the games industry knows how to use for Witcher 4.

While they're obviously gonna take a revenue hit to be able to use the engine for their games, considering one of Cyberpunk 2077's glaring flaws on release was how unstable it was I think it's an investment worth taking. Witcher 3 had issues as well, but expectations on that game were significantly lower than CP2077

Yeah, all of the issues the game has are because of deficiencies of the engine. I wish they had gone to UE 4 with CP 2077 and skipped Redengine entirely, but moving to UE5 for the next CP allow them to make the game that CP 2077 should have been.

And fix the bugs, same as with Bethesda games.

Sure, mods can fix bugs, too. But saying "that's the reason they're releasing mod tools, so the community fixes the rest..." is disingenuous and makes it sound like CDPR is being lazy.

Been modding Beth games since Morrowind, never used the "Unofficial Patch" mods until my latest FO4 install (only because another mod had it as a requirement). The games have been fine without them. /shrug

they might return later on to add more content, but its a shame they decided not to do more on it, its an interesting game for once, and there is not many mainstream games im interested in these days. With dev companies also milking the souls like genre too, or turning new games in their series into ones. I doubt there will be any more games like quest for glory or kq 8, and a shivers 3 is far too late. Least they got beneath a steel sky on steam.

[Tokenn]

I don't think anybody knows for sure. If the DLC expansion next year is a whacking big seller, I find it hard to believe that CDPR won't continue to add to the game. It would be a very odd business decision not to build on an established success. IMHO.

For info only, unreal, and particularly the previous version, hasn't been used much for and has never been highly regarded for open world games. It's for that reason that the partnership with CDP most likely makes as much sense for Epic as it does for CDPR -- for Epic it allows them to build out the engine to work with the kinds of games CDPR make in collaboration with a house that knows what the issues are, for CDPR it's a chance to get an engine that is genuinely world-beating for stuff like world streaming and multiplayer, and then see it tailored to precisely CDPR's requirements in cooperation with the engine makers themselves.

Oh ok yeah true, I think CDPR did a lot of hard work post launch. I can still respect them as devs, because probably some guys at the top pushed them to release this game in an early stage. Well, I am really happy the mod tools are there, the PC community will do a lot of cool stuff with it. I just know it.

[Kindred Spirit]

I certainly hope CDPR come back to add more actual open-world content to do the setting some justice. Nothing quite like hearing a broadcast during a loading screen about how dangerous the highways are and then having falling asleep and driving into oncoming vehicles as the biggest danger.

That sounds like a much cooler game. Speaking of loading screens:

Based. This game teases a much better world it fails to show us except in small showcases. Even the intro shows a "random" MaxTac event - but at least MaxTac are supposedly being fixed as another revision from NCPD's initial state of pop-in like Weeping Angels for those who go cyberpsycho before quick loading.

Yeah, I mean adding any type of mod support will only make it easier for Cyberpunk to have better quality experience. Bethesda fed up when they released paid mods, but thankfully there are many free mods out there for Elder Scrolls or Fallout.

[BossManJosh]

I don't think abandoned is the right word for it. As they transition development resources to the next Witcher game, and training in UE5, we will probably still see a small team dedicated to CP77 support (and maybe some small free content drops) for at least a year or two. I highly doubt we will see a second large scale DLC given that CP77 has pushed REDEngine to its absolute limit (and even broken the limit in some ways).

The transition to UE5 is probably the most important consideration here, that is the future of CDPR games and I doubt they will want to get hung up on their now antiquated in house engine. Also, they won't be giving up on the IP completely, at this point I think it is very likely that after the next Witcher, we will get a second Cyberpunk built out in UE5.

Abandoned? No. It'll be complete after the expansion. Will they continue to work on it after? Dunno.

Classic. Cut Content from game then release it later as paid dlc.

I never used that all in one bug fix patch everyone keeps talking about for any bethesda game ever... vanilla game in Fallout 4 and Skyrim played fine for me

You would have to have seen to marketing to get the reason that the OP worded it in this way. This game will always be compared to the game that was marketed.

Compared to what youtuber's hyped up you mean. I saw so many speculations from these guys that its not even funny. No wonder everyone who fell for youtubers b*llshit were disappointed. Everything that was shown in the marketing videos (trailers and Night City Wire) is in the game. 95% of the bugs got fixed. Skill that didnt work properly got rebalance and fixed. Same with weapon balance. The only thing you have the right to still complain are car chases with police. They never explicitly said that they removed that feature, unlike with wall running and streamlined hacking.

No dude. Compared to what the marketing hyped up.

Lemmie put it this way: 321 million was spent on this game - 121 million on development and I'm sure that it can be pieced together what was spent on marketing.

I mean hey, if you still want to throw all the blame on the YouTubers despite what I just wrote, then okay, that's up to you. Either way, the blunder was on the executives who were calling the shots.
