Our friend Apoqsi goes into the details below of the CDPR earning call if you want the full scoop, but I will just be coving the bullet points at it pertains to 2077;
- They again denied they are being bought by Sony (or anyone). Said they are happy being independent.
- End of April Phantom Liberty team was ~320 people and in the final stretch.
- The PL team is currently their largest team in the studio.
- In less than 2 weeks the PL PR will kick off at Summer Game Fest in LA.
- They will also have hands on demo for content creator community & gaming press to demo at various locations that will be announced soon. After that there will be opportunities for the general community at large to get hands on as well.
- They dodged release date questions saying more info will be released at Summer Game Fest.
- Project Orion (Cyberpunk 2) they announced the Boston Studio will kick off development in 2024, not this year as previously implied.
Gothic's Take: Nothing overly surprising, however that is a massive team for a expansion. So gives weight to the rumor they are re-working a LOT of the game. We'll see. Also a little surprised Orion full pre-production is getting bumped until next year. Not sure what to make of that, but either case it is a WAYS away no matter how you slice it.
