Sorry to remind everyone, but it's been well over 10 years since CD Projekt RED released its first-ever teaser for Cyberpunk 2077. Yep, it really has been that long since the Polish developer started talking about its sci-fi RPG, and as part of a recent financial report, the team has revealed that development is officially over on CP77.
The earnings report, posted online, contains a chart showcasing exactly what its 600+ strong team is working on these days. Back in February, CDPR still had a slim team of 17 people working on Cyberpunk 2077, but that has since shrunk to zero as the developer fully moves on to other projects.

As you can see in the social media post up above, the bulk of the team is now working on 'Polaris' - the codename for the next mainline Witcher title. Elsewhere, we have small pockets of CDPR devs working on a Witcher spin-off, a new IP, and the eventual follow-up to Cyberpunk 2077.
It's been a long old road for this famous RPG, then. The decade-long saga ends on a high though in the form of Phantom Liberty, despite the game's rocky 2020 launch, which is always good to see. As for what's next with this series, it looks like it'll be some time before the bulk of CD Projekt RED is working on the sequel to Cyberpunk 2077!

What's better this or the Witcher?
I've never played the Cyberpunk games, but I absolutely loved The Witcher. Who knows where I'll be in another 10 years if that's how long we have to wait for the next Witcher game 🤔
@Ricky-Spanish That's comparing apples to oranges, don't you think? I'd argue they are both great for different reasons.
Never played it.
Bit gutted they never added NG+, nevertheless it’s still a great game. Love the futuristic open world they created and can’t wait to see what they do with the sequel.
Loved this game when it came out, and it improved massively across all the updates. It took a while to get it in proper shape, and I’m so glad the devs never gave up on it. Definitely worth a look, if you’ve never played it.
Through its rocky launch and all it's patches and DLC this still stands as one of my most disappointing games of the past decade. It is a powerfully boring game and isn't nearly as deep as the superior Witcher 3
@ZuneTattooGuy you should be used to trash you played redcrap
Completed it on release and got all the achievements...it was a solid 8 out of 10...I have bought the expansion but yet to play it....and have heard it's apparently much improved...I do 'plan' to return to it to do the expansion ...one day
on my top 10 games i played last year im loving it and im happy that i waited till the next gen update to play it (i faced 0 issues with the game) also i love the characters and the gun play
Took a long time to get there, but it was absolutely worth it. As is, Cyberpunk is an amazing game. I waited to play it until it was all fixed up so I can’t speak to how it was in the beginning. Can only speak to how it is now and again, it’s an amazing game now.
really, really excited to finally play this (and the DLC) soon, have waited til it's fully finished!
Witcher 3 one of my fave games ever, so can't wait for this!
@GamingFan4Lyf Ignorance is the case for that buddy don't know to much about either just that cd project red is involved in both and I probably prefer oranges ha
@Ricky-Spanish If you prefer Oranges then you’ll definitely fall on the side of Cyberpunk 2077, as it’s often referred to in the gaming industry as the Navel Orange of Action RPGs.
@SoulChimera And I just bought the Witcher 3 life's funny that way ha
@Ricky-Spanish Well, I will say that The Witcher 3 does a very good job with side quests having actual weight in the story telling and ending. You may have had what is considered the "best" ending for the main characters, but the outcome of certain side quests (or just simply ignoring them all together) can leave the world in ruin.
Basically, The Witcher does a fantastic job of making side quests more like actual main plot.
However, the combat system in The Witcher 3 kind of sucks - I hated it. There also doesn't feel much in the way of character builds in The Witcher 3 (or, if there is, I totally lacked understanding of how that all worked).
Roach (the horse) is also an absolute idiot if you try to let him autorun without controller input - the horses in Breath of the Wild are significantly smarter in that aspect.
Side content in Cyberpunk 2077 doesn't hold much weight in the end. There are still multiple endings, but honestly, most of what happens at the end is directly tied to dialogue choices made during main story as well as decisions made once you initiate the "Point of no return" part of the game.
The combat is better in Cyberpunk (in my opinion).
Character building feels more robust in Cyberpunk2077 over The Witcher 3.
The thing is, do you like fantasy stories or sci-fi stories? Third-person hack n slash or first-person shooting/melee? Do you like more preset character type with slight tuning of attributes, or do you like more robust variance in your character to suit your playstyle?
Tried getting into Cyberpunk numerous times. It never did it for me.
I'm probably in the minority but I found it extremely underwhelming. Kudos to them for fixing it but the writing just didn't do it for me... The world was pretty but so empty and dead. Maybe I'll check out the sequel one day but overall, Deus Ex was far superior game with a similar theme.
@GamingFan4Lyf Thanks for the info buddy 👍
Fair dues for them sticking at it for so long.
But was it "worth it"?
Bottom line - expenditure vs sales will tell them that. Though aspects such as company reputation with customers should be factored into that calculation.
I think Cyberpunk is the most immersive RPG I have ever played. I loved every minute of it. (I did pick it up after the 2.0 update though)
@Nerad
You haven't played many RPGs if you actually believe this
@ZuneTattooGuy No, I’ve played a few. But jumping in the car to drive to a new plot destination, for instance, is like moving through a real city. It feels big and alive, there’s literally miles of city to drive through and take in.
@Nerad GTA did it better
@nomither6 I’ll be honest, I haven’t played GTA.
@Nerad Unbelievable
I bought it on sale well before the next gen patch was released with the intention to not play it until it was released. Am glad I waited as I thoroughly enjoyed it. I played the witcher 3 on ps4 , really enjoyed it, but for some reason haven’t been able to muster the enthusiasm to replay it after the next gen patch was released.
