'Cyberpunk 2077' Update: Game To Feature 'Seamless' Multiplayer, 'Huge Living City'; 2017 Release Date Unlikely
J RoseCD Projekt Red has revealed a few details of its upcoming game "Cyberpunk 2077" via its grant applications last week.
The award-winning game studio applied for a grant for its new game through the GameINN program, and its application has given fans a quick look at what to expect from the anticipated sci-fi RPG title.
CD Project RED has applied for grant regarding "Seamless Multiplayer." Below is the actual statement for the grant (via Gamepressure)
"A complex technology for making unique multiplayer gameplay mechanics, including the ability to search out for opponents, manage game session, replicate objects, as well as support for different game modes along with a unique set of dedicated tools."
Going multiplayer is a new concept for CD Projekt Red, with the studio diving into its first foray into full multiplayer for "Cyberpunk 2077." The indie studio is also working on another online multiplayer title, "The Witcher" spin-off "Gwent: The Witcher Card Game."
The studio has also applied for a grant for "a complex technology for creating a huge living city, playable in real time, which (the technology) is based on rules, AI, and automation, as well as supports innovative processes and tools for making top-notch open-world games."
Other grants focus on "animation excellence" and "cinematic feel," which would not be unusual given "The Witcher"'s reputation for its stunning visuals.
Fans are excited to find out what multiplayer features will be in store for "Cyberpunk 2077," but they would have to wait for now. With the game's massive features, it looks like people would have to wait until 2018 for the game to be fully realized.
CD Projekt Red has amibitious plans for "Cyberpunk 2077", and is hoping to surpass the level that "The Witcher" series has set, and the studio is not putting the game out there unless it exceeds all expectations.
"'Witcher 3' set a certain bar and we definitely cannot go lower," CD Projekt Red's co-founder Marcis Iwinski told Eurogamer. "It's always about improving and making new, pretty stuff, storytelling games and mechanics and what not."
Stay tuned for more "Cyberpunk 2077" news.
