After gradually coming to grips with the consequences of the hack and the most important and biggest correction of Cyberpunk 2077 So far, version 1.2, officials have now announced major changes.
One of the most important changes is the parallel development of several IP addresses, so in addition to Cyberpunk 2077, other innovations for the Witcher franchise also need to be worked on. Development should become more flexible and online experiences play a bigger role as well as focus on classic single player. Overall, the focus on AAA role-playing games is on becoming a multi-genre approach with a matching core, and the company’s franchises must evolve from a focus on actual AAA games to an ecosystem with branches and mobile activities beyond gaming.
