Cyberpunk 2077 Fans Are Glad CD Projekt Red Is Moving Onto The Next Game

thegamer.com:

Last year, it was revealed that CD Projekt Red is already looking forward to the next Cyberpunk 2077 game. This came as a surprise to many, with the developers putting a lot of effort into continued updates for the game, leading many to believe that we'd also get a bunch of DLC expansions - especially since this was promised before launch. However, as we now know, Phantom Liberty will be the only expansion.

Yet players aren't necessarily disappointed with this news. Over on Reddit, fans are debating the current state of the game, and whether or not it was right for CDPR to ditch 2077 without more expansions. Surprisingly, many are now reacting positively to the news, feeling that the devs have done all they can with Cyberpunk 2077 as it is.

"REDengine is old now, we have the really long development time of 2077 to thank for that," says FIlthyMcGuffin. "This needed to be done, no matter how much of a shame it might be."

Many agree with this sentiment, especially as we now know that CDPR is ditching the REDengine in favour of Unreal. "A lot of Cyberpunk 2077's problems [are] related to the REDengine," says tiker442. "Creating a new game in UE5 is the better option."

"With what they've learned from the original and with the fixes that they now have implemented, it's honestly better for them to do a take 2," says Cthulhubot666. "And hopefully the execs learned to not broadcast every idea that pops up and don't reveal
