Более года назад CD Projekt RED объявила о намерении сменить собственный движок REDengine на Unreal Engine от Epic Games. Это решение было принято для оптимизации процесса создания игр и сокращения затрат.
Разработка Cyberpunk 2077 (наш обзор) официально завершилась — CD Projekt RED выпустила для игры все планировавшиеся обновления и патчи и перевела сотрудников на другие проекты.
Finally, over 12 years since the game's official reveal back in 2012, Cyberpunk 2077 has ended development. All staff at CD Projekt Red have no stopped working on the game, moving on to work on various projects - including future Witcher and Cyberpunk games - for the foreseeable future.
This news came out in the late hours of last night via the quarterly CD Projekt Red earnings call, which revealed that not a single employee had been working on the game since April 30. Following this, staff took to social media to declare their journey on Cyberpunk had concluded.
This includes associate game director Pawel Sasko, who reposted the graph presenting this departure from Cyberpunk 2077 with the following statement, "That's how the team compositions looks like and the projects we are cooking. I am so excited by all this growth and cannot wait to see how it all develops."
A new earnings report from The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt makers CD Projekt Red has revealed that the follow-up to the sorceress-courting, Nekker-thwacking, horse-reassuring RPG is currently being worked on by around 400 people, and plans to move into the production phase by the “second half of the year.” Elsewhere, the report shows that the studio’s previous RPG, Cyberpunk 2077 officially ended all development at the end of April, at which time the remaining 17 staff still tweaking that game’s ray-traced chewing gum foil moved on to the Witcher 4 , or ‘Polaris’, as they keep insisting it's called.
