CD Projekt Red’s announcement that they are moving on from Cyberpunk 2077 to work on the next game in the series has surprised many fans. The game’s developers have put a lot of effort into updates for Cyberpunk 2077, and many players were expecting to see more DLC expansions. However, the announcement hasn’t disappointed fans, with many believing that CDPR has done all it can with the current game.

The State of Cyberpunk 2077:

Fans on Reddit are debating the current state of Cyberpunk 2077 and whether CDPR made the right choice by not developing any further DLC expansions. Some believe that developers should focus on improving the game rather than making a new one. They feel that the RED engine, the game’s engine, is outdated, and the long development time for Cyberpunk 2077 has contributed to this.

Moving to Unreal Engine 5:

CDPR has decided to ditch the RED engine in favor of Unreal Engine 5 for the next game in the series. Many fans agree that this is a good move, as Cyberpunk 2077’s problems were related to the RED engine. With what the developers have learned from the original game and the fixes that have been implemented, it is better for them to create a new game in UE5.

Fans hope that CDPR has learned from its mistakes, particularly with the promotional material for Cyberpunk 2077. The trailer that revealed the death of a major NPC early in the game frustrated many players, and promotional material boasted features that weren’t in the game at launch.

Acceptance of the Decision:

Despite the broken pledge of more DLC expansions, the Cyberpunk 2077 community seems content to move on after Phantom Liberty. Fans are accepting of CDPR’s decision to move on and are hoping that the final DLC will be worth the wait. However, the expansion will only be available on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X/S, leaving last-gen players behind.

CD Projekt Red’s decision to move on from Cyberpunk 2077 to work on the next game in the series has surprised fans, but many are accepting of the decision. The move to Unreal Engine 5 and the hope that CDPR has learned from its mistakes has fans excited for the future of the series. While it is disappointing that last-gen players will not be able to experience the final DLC expansion, fans are still looking forward to what CDPR has in store for the future of Cyberpunk.
