The sequel is bound to retain Cyberpunk 2077’s open world structure as well, but a senior narrative designer listing suggests CD Projekt wants to improve upon it with open world events.
It also sounds like Cyberpunk 2 wants to double down on the first game’s interactive cut scenes as a now deleted job listing for a lead cinematics designer (via TheGamer) talked about, ‘crafting highly interactive cinematic sequences using animation libraries and motion capture, creating a unique fusion of film and game.’.
Although CD Projekt has yet to share any footage of Cyberpunk 2’s gameplay, there’s a fair bit we can already say about it, thanks to job listings and comments from CD Projekt.
In early 2024, CD Projekt confirmed a number of Cyberpunk 2077 staff members who would be spearheading the sequel.
In a podcast discussing the Boston studio, Dan Hernberg expressed hope that this development will help Cyberpunk 2 feel more authentically American as opposed to the first game, which had some minor details in its setting that gave away that it was made by non-Americans.
