The RPG Cyberpunk 2077 will probably be released without multiplayer. Whether there will be a future update is still uncertain.
Cyberpunk 2077 appears to be shipped without a multiplayer mode. This was recently announced at E3 2018. In an interview with Eurogamer, quest designer Patrick Mills stated that Cyberpunk 2077 will be a “pure” single-player game.
Focus on single-player. According to Mills, the entire team is focused on creating an engaging single-player experience. “We want to hit the nail on the head there before we turn to other aspects.” Mills thus makes it clear that he rejects any hopes that the game would feature online functionalities with other players.
Multiplayer may still come to Cyberpunk 2077, but no promises
Multiplayer “under discussion”: However, a multiplayer is not completely off the table. CD Projekt Red is discussing internally about a multiplayer and is considering how and if it can be integrated into the game. However, no promises are made. Only when the game is completed would such aspects be considered in more detail.
Misleading information in the past: The new information is particularly contradictory to the past. A few months ago, after the Twitter account for Cyberpunk was reactivated, there were consistently small updates about Cyberpunk 2077. During this time, it was also stated that there would be “some form of online component” and that interaction with other players would be possible. The fact that this is now – at least for the time being – completely scrapped suggests a change in plans.
What do you think about Cyberpunk 2077 not having a multiplayer mode? Were you not expecting one anyway? Or do you need it in order to enjoy the game?
