The new production of CD Projekt RED has taken almost all the resources of the third quarter of fiscal year 2019.
Rain on the asphalt, smoke on the rooftops and neon lights crowning the buildings of Night City. The city of Cyberpunk 2077 breathes the toxic fumes of pollution, which will soon reach the homes of the players. CD Projekt RED has presented the results of the third quarter of fiscal year 2019 and has recorded that its star game has entered the final phase of its development, nothing strange given that the release date is next April.
In the third quarter of 2019, most of the assets were intended “for the development of new video games and technologies,” they say in the report. In fact, the increase in resource allocation was motivated by the development of Cyberpunk 2077, "which has just entered its final pre-launch phase, the most intensive," they point out.
Technological renovation to adapt your world
The investment in technology has not been small, as the same study revealed that they had used more efficient technology with respect to their previous project, The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt. John Mamais, head of the team in Krakow, explained that "the transmission system had to be revised", because in the new title you have to move much faster when you're in a vehicle. As if that weren't enough, they now use vertical transmission. The developer believes that The Witcher is, by comparison, "almost as if it were a 2D game", because its world is flatter.
In the science fiction game of CD Projekt RED you should climb high-rise buildings, so that both horizontal and vertical transmission are combined. "The hardware speeds impact on it," so they have been forced to review the technology "so that it could support it," said Mamais.
Cyberpunk 2077 will be available on April 16, 2020 for PS4, Xbox One, PC and Google Stadia. The game has the participation of Keanu Reeves, who made a stellar appearance during E3 2019. In addition, it is known that the interpreter pressed to get more lines of dialogue in the adventure. Unlike The Witcher 3, the action takes place in the third person, not only in its playable phases, but also in almost all of its kinematics.
