Our Website's latest video series, Insider, is kicking off today with a mini-documentary featuring CD Projekt Red and the creation of Cyberpunk 2077. Our Website went to CD Projekt Red's headquarters in Poland and interviewed members of the development team to get an inside look at the challenges and eventual success of the RPG.
The developers openly discuss the significant issues that Cyberpunk 2077 faced during its launch in December 2020. These problems were so severe that the game was temporarily removed from sale on PlayStation. The team shares how they addressed these issues and implemented a strategy to turn things around, including a major structural overhaul.
CD Projekt Red has undeniably made significant strides in improving Cyberpunk 2077, with many noting that the game's 2.0 update heralded a new chapter for the beloved role-playing game. The developers shared valuable insights into the lessons learned from the original launch issues of Cyberpunk 2077 and how those insights were applied to the release of the game's Phantom Liberty expansion.
Be sure to watch the entire video, as it features a wealth of behind-the-scenes stories and anecdotes about the development of Cyberpunk 2077, Phantom Liberty, and more. Additionally, viewers will be treated to glimpses of CD Projekt's office dogs, including the adorable little Geralt.
The team captured the exciting moment when they pushed the button to launch Phantom Liberty live on camera. It gives viewers a behind-the-scenes look at how a major studio like CD Projekt releases a game. Cyberpunk 2077 has become one of the most commercially successful RPGs in history, selling over 25 million copies, leading to the development of a sequel. In addition to this game, CD Projekt Red is also working on a new set of Witcher games and a remake of the original Witcher game.
