Cyberpunk 2077 will have a sequelit’s official: CD Projekt RED announced it today, albeit with a simple teaser image and practically no detail other than the intention to demonstrate the undoubted potential that this intellectual property possesses, and that for a reason or so far many have failed to grasp.
Will the sequel to Cyberpunk 2077 then remedy the errors of the first chapter? This is the million dollar question, or rather twenty million copies: the ones that Cyberpunk 2077 managed to sell despite all its problems. If this is not a valuable brand …
Tracing the history of Cyberpunk 2077 seems superfluous at this point: announced at the dawn of time, the game had a long and troubled development, restarted from scratch several times and then materialized in the form of a production. very unconvincingly cross-gen.
It is no coincidence that the PS4 and Xbox One versions of Cyberpunk 2077 have become memes, they were so badly reduced at launch, and the fool remedied by the Polish studio due to the statements of CEO Adam Kicinski (“runs surprisingly well”) everyone still remembers it very well.
In short, the great enthusiasm that accompanied the announcement of the Cyberpunk 2077 sequel certainly no longer has the naive character of a few years ago, when everyone blindly trusted CD Projekt RED and no one expected that it could run into such a dramatic period. between requests for reimbursement, controversy and stock crashes.
Likewise, there is no doubt that the franchise possesses a huge yet unexpressed potential, which with a project designed around the next generation platforms could be able to really deliver us that idea of a disturbing, hostile and threatening but at the same time terribly fascinating future. that had conquered us all already in 2012.
What do you think? Could the Cyberpunk 2077 sequel really be that amazing experience that CD Projekt RED has always dreamed of offering? What pitfalls lie behind the announcement, and most importantly, how long will it take before the game hits stores? Let’s talk about.
