In a strategy update from CD Projekt today, president Adam Kiciski said the studio was adjusting its strategy around online experiences in its games, saying it was focusing on bringing online into all its franchises one day and working on an online technology that can be integrated into all its games.

But, he continued, that means a change of some sort to how Cyberpunk 2077's planned multiplayer mode might be implemented. As Kiciski put it:

"Previously we hinted that our next AAA would be a multiplayer Cyberpunk game, but we have decided to reconsider this plan given our new more systemic and agile approach instead of primarily focusing on one big online experience or game we are focusing on bringing online into all of our franchises one day."

This doesn't exactly clarify the nature of what's going on with Cyberpunk multiplayer, though. Earlier this year, Micha Nowakowski confirmed that this mode was the "triple-A" title CD Projekt Red was developing previously in parallel to Cyberpunk 2077. But now, it's not clear if multiplayer has been delayed even further, or if it simply will not be implemented at all.

In response to IGN's request for comment or clarity, CD Projekt Red PR manager Radek Grabowki said that the statements in the video were "all we have to say." He did hone in on one additional quote from the presentation that he said gave some context to the company's plans for its online approach:

"We are building an online technology that can be seamlessly integrated into development of our future games. This technology will power online components we choose to introduce in our games, and will ensure we can do so without any great technological debt," said Kiciski in the presentation. "With this technology in place, we can start to grow an online community powered by our own GOG GALAXY platform which connects gamers both inside and outside of our games."

So this game is still a thing? I've pretty much #metoo'd it in my brain and now it's Kevin Spacey and Louis CK to me. I saw it today when I went to buy the new MH and realised I'm past even wanting the experience now, which is a damn shame.

It's crazy how fast games that are waited on for a damn near decade can just come and blow away. Duke Nukem Forever all over again.

So... It sounds like they're dropping the Cyberpunk multiplayer idea? It doesn't help that they basically refused to clarify their meaning.

They're gonna get absolutely destroyed by the EU and Australia and possibly their own government at this point lmfao

they really are going the no mans sky rout huh?
