This November, Cyberpunk 2077 will be released via PS4, PS5, Xbox Series X, Xbox One, and PC. And it looks like an enormous release. But it will be bigger than the previous major release of CD Project Red, The Witcher 3? That, it is impossible to know this, because we do not know if Cyberpunk 2077 will replicate the quality of Geralt’s latest adventure. Everything the Polish developer has shown so far of the game suggests that it will, but only time will tell. That said, according to CD Project Red, if there is one thing Cyberpunk 2077 has on The Witcher 3 it is that it is a much deeper role-playing experience. And this is contrary to the concerns of many, which is that the game is not the deep role-playing experience that The Witcher who and is.
Speaking to Netrunner 2077, CD Project RED’s Senior Level Designer Miles Tost noted that while some people are watching Cyberpunk 2077 as a shooter, it is first and foremost a role-playing game.
“I think people forget that Cyberpunk 2077 is primarily an RPG. Right? So choosing choice and equipment, making choices in the skills you have, the talents, how your character looks, how you choose dialogue, it’s the focus of this experience, “said Tost. I think some people watch this game and think ‘Oh man, it’s first person and has guns! It’s a shooter,’ and that’s a whole lot of assessment on the surface. I think in many ways, it’s a much, much deeper role-playing experience then The Witcher 3. “
As you can see, Tost reveals that he understands why people think Cyberpunk 2077 is a step back in the role-playing department, although the game may not scream RPG on the surface, if you look deeper, you will find an incredibly deep RPG experience to have.
