CD Projekt RED won’t sacrifice single-player campaign for multiplayer,games and multiplayer projects occupy a huge market share, but does this mean that single-player games are going out of fashion?
Obviously not for CD Projekt RED. CD Projekt RED won’t sacrifice single-player campaign for multiplayer,The studio does not plan to chase trends to the detriment of its main games. According to Michal Nowakowski, the developer of The Witcher and Cyberpunk 2077 wants to continue doing what he does best – create excellent story-based RPGs without trying to occupy the multiplayer niche.
We have been repeating for many years that we want to continue doing what we have been doing so far. That is, create large role-playing games. Story-rich, story-driven, open worlds. We’ll probably add multiplayer elements at some point, but again, we’re not talking about cutting down the single-player components any further for the sake of multiplayer. This definitely won’t happen. If we add something, it will be as a supplement.
At one point, the company was considering multiplayer elements for the Cyberpunk 2077 sequel, but it’s unclear if that will actually happen. Moreover, according to rumors, the upcoming Witcher game from The Molasses Flood studio will be a stylized multiplayer game with several modes, a class system and social activities.
So far, CD Projekt RED has stuck to its guns when it comes to story-based campaigns, and the studio is confident that there is an audience for its games.
I firmly believe that there is definitely a place for the kind of games we make. For really big open world games that give you epic experiences. Which offer artistic experiences. These have always been very important to us as a studio and we will continue to do them. Hard facts. The business speaks for itself and confirms that there is a place for such games. People don’t necessarily want to follow every newest trend.
Currently, most of CDPR’s staff has switched to the new The Witcher game, which will launch the next trilogy.
