CD Projekt Red, the Poland-based video game developing company that brought the tremendously successful title, "The Witcher 3," has been working on a new project titled "Cyberpunk 2077." Details about the game's story and gameplay mechanics have been scarce, but this has not stopped fans from closely following the now highly-awaited project. Fortunately, the developers have given a few words that will excite gamers even further.

In a report by Video Gamer, CD Projekt Red has continued reassuring fans through Twitter as well as giving out important updates and answering major inquiries for their upcoming video game. At this point, it is entirely clear that the studio is not pressured into releasing "Cyberpunk 2077" as soon as possible – no matter how demanding the fans get.

Additionally, they are also not pressured into making a game that requires an online function much like "The Witcher" series. Simply put, CD Projekt Red is now following a specific business model and they are sticking to it. IGN has reported that the Polish studio is committed to creating a massive open world role playing game that will not be offering microtransactions, which is a strategy so that game developers can make a quick buck.

Additionally, CD Projekt Red has also promised that "Cyberpunk 2077" will be as story driven as "The Witcher" series. This is a move that has garnered them their loyal fan base in the first place. However, this is also the reason why fans have been incessantly asking questions about when the next game would be released. However, there were recent concerns raised when CEO Adam Kicinski stated that "there will be an online element" for the game.

According to Rolling Stone, the "online element" led people to think that the studio will be straying from their tried and tested formula of video games. Fortunately, the developers were quick to respond and added that players should not worry as they will still be getting their money's worth – like it has always been.
