Cyberpunk 2077is in an incredible place. In fact, I recently finally dove in myself and oh my, I am having a marvelous time. As we all know though, theCyberpunk 2077that we’re all loving today is a far cry from the sloppy mess that was released in December 2020.
CD Projekt REDspent a whopping $120 millionsavingCyberpunk 2077. It was worth it though. Many fans say the incredible quality of expansionPhantom Libertyis proof thatCyberpunk 2077should’ve beengiven more time in the oven. Following the 2.0 update, many are hailing the game asone of the greatest ever made- and it’s alreadyoutpacingThe Witcher 3in sales. It all bodes very well forCyberpunk 2077’s sequel, currently codenamedProject Orion, but it also spells positive news forThe Witcher 4.
Take a look atCyberpunk 2077: Phantom Libertyin action below.

“Take consoles, for example; we need to make sure they’re functioning from the get-go,” he continued. “For our next project,Polaris, we’re already running our demos and internal reviews on the console from the very beginning. This is a step we only took later inCyberpunk’s development.”
“Regarding other tools or strategies for maintaining morale post-release, especially after the difficulties we faced – it was indeed a challenge. The morale took a significant hit, that’s clear. The crucial thing was to acknowledge what happened. We had to admit that the outcome wasn’t what we’d hoped for and that we were determined to change things. But it’s one thing to say it; it has to be put into practice, you know? Actions speak louder than words.”
“You’ve got to demonstrate commitment. For instance, when a deadline is looming, instead of reverting to crunch, we might say, ‘Let’s adjust the schedule,’ or, ‘Let’s approach this differently.’ Once this becomes a repeated behaviour, once the team sees a genuine effort to prevent crunch, that’s when trust and morale start to rebuild. People need to see it to believe it.”
There’s no current release window forThe Witcher 4, but it has become the main focus of CDPR’s efforts following the launch ofPhantom Liberty.
