More information.Interview: CD PROJEKT Red's John Mamais talks Cyberpunk 2077's creation, VR, DLC, Nintendo Switch, and more
I recently sat down with CD PROJEKT Red's John Mamais to talk about the studio's highly-anticipated Cyberpunk 2077 video game which is due out later this year on Xbox One, PC, and PS4.
We talked about the creation of the futuristic world in which the game is set, cyberpunk inspirations, possible third-person perspectives, immersive sound design, censorship issues in Australia, and the potential (or lack thereof) for a Cyberpunk 2077 release on Nintendo Switch and a VR version.
When did development on Cyberpunk 2077 start exactly? It's been planned for a while now.
We had a team going when we were working on The Witcher 3 actually. We built two teams to do the two games in parallel then we cannibalised the second team to come back and work on Witcher 3 before putting everyone on this project.
So Cyberpunk 2077 has been in development for a while then?
Yeah, for a little while. In pre-production. We had about 75 guys working on it at that time.
