Cyberpunk 2077 developer CD Projekt Red has sent a special message to fans.
To celebrate the studio’s 2077th tweet, CD Projekt decided to go off brand and thank fans ahead of the Cyberpunk release date.
“This is our 2077th tweet and we think you’d agree that it’s too awesome of a number for us not to send you guys a special message!” reads the CD Projekt tweet.
“Normally we’d be in character, sending you funny gifs or pics of cybercats, but this time around, we wanted to say something off brand.
“Each day we’re here with you guys – celebrating Cyberpunk, sharing news, making new friends and giving you studio insider info.
|Staying directly in touch means we can better understand who you are and what you like about video games (including this particular one). This, in turn, enables us to talk with the dev team (which also read this account daily), so they have a good picture of what you expect.”
The message contained very little in the way of new information, although the studio confirmed that Cyberpunk would be a very big game when it launches.
“Cyberpunk 2077 is a really big game, but so is the task of communicating it to so many wonderful people from all around the world,” the post continues.
“These 2077 tweets have been an awesome and enlightening journey for us so far. Thank you for being such an awesome community. You make it worth the while.”
The news comes after Cyberpunk 2077 developer CD Projekt Red gave fans fresh hope of a 2019 release date.
Responding to questions about the departure of creative director Sebastian Stępień, CD Projekt’s Karolina Gnaś revealed some interesting news about the state of Cyberpunk 2077.
According to Gnaś, more than 400 people are working on Cyberpunk 2077.
As WCCFTech points out, The Witcher 3 only had 250 staff working on the game during its peak.
“His [Stępień] departure does not affect the pace of work on our latest title in any way,” Gnaś said. “The team working on Cyberpunk 2077 already has over 400 people.”
With such a huge number working on the game, there’s every possibility Cyberpunk 2077 will launch sooner rather later.
A 2020 release date seems more likely, especially with a game of this size and scope.
Fingers crossed we find out an exact release date during the game’s E3 appearance in June.
