Cyberpunk 2077 Devs Will Need To Overhaul Tools Before Beginning Work On New Game

"The programmers are updating our software quite drastically.”

While CD Projekt RED has had quite a bit of fun working on The Witcher series, the development team is more than a little excited to get started on the brand new project that is Cyberpunk 2077. Jose Teixeira, a visual effects artist for CD Projekt RED, recently spoke to iDigitaltimes about what the studio was doing to start work on this new, futuristic game.

One of the things the studio did during the very long development process of The Witcher 3 was to take notes on what worked and what needed to be improved. “The most important thing that’s happening at the moment is that the programmers are taking the feedback we gave them from working on The Witcher. As cliche as it sounds it was a big learning experience,” Teixeira said. “The programmers are updating our software quite drastically.”

Teixeira says a brand new visual effects editor is one of the toys he’s been given. He added he’s excited about Cyberpunk 2077, which the company has already said will be “great“. Cyberpunk 2077 is expected to be released sometime in the next four years, but there isn’t anything close to a release date yet.
