CD Projekt says Cyberpunk is the new Witcher 3
Whispers around the gaming playground suggest we might see Cyberpunk 2077 as one of the E3 2018 games, and now CD Projekt CEO Adam Kicinski is talking big at industry events. "Cyberpunk is our new The Witcher 3, but even more ambitious," he said, at the Pareto Securities Gaming Seminar. "Our goal is to establish a new blockbuster franchise from the beginning. We work [in a] new universe, futuristic universe. We believe it's very appealing to players, not only RPG players - but this is [a] true RPG, like Witcher, like Witcher 3, for mature audiences. It's handcrafted, detailed, of course open-world, with open-ended gameplay"
