After years of speculation and reputation, the CD project Red effectively confirmed Cyberpunk 2077 continuation Orion project will have multiplayer mode. This message comes through the list of CDPR tasks for the main network designer for “Cyberpunk 2“Where the company explicitly mentions multiplayer infrastructure and other specific items, such as optimizing matches. Cyberpunk 2077 He was initially supposed to have a multiplayer rider, but instead CDPR decided to focus on repairing a single player campaign.
Cyberpunk 2077 It is not the only main feature of the CD project RED that turns into the Multiplayer Empire; Wizard They will receive a separate multiplayer game with the kind permission of CDPR The Molass Flood. At present, the largest common ski slope is between the two projects, except that they are both based on CDPR, their mysterious nature: the audience knows almost nothing about what they will look like. This feeling of secrets is enhanced by a novelty because the CD project Red has never done a game for multiple players and both Cyberpunk and Wizard They are often considered typical franchises for single player. On the one hand, it is an exciting prospect, breaking new land for both franchises. But multiplayer pivot is also the main risk.
CD project Red makes a big jump with the Orion project and Project Sirius
Multiplayers' games are far from success these days
The real multiplayer gold fever was in 2000 and at the beginning of 2010, when it felt as if virtually every main edition had a competitive or cooperative addition to multiple players. At some point, developers had to consider the regimes that they had declining yields, and the multiplayer disappeared, which mostly disappeared. Then he arrived at the live service and changed everything again. This is the market Orion project and Sirius projectAka WizardMultiplayer play, entering.
It is not clear whether Orion project and Sirius project It will contain Gaas Staples, but CDPR has spoken about microtransactions in the past. However, this was specifically with reference to single player games and the door remained open for such disputed features in the release of multiplayer developers.
Heavy hitters as Fortnite, Helldivers 2and Call of Duty: Warzone Competitions for the time and money of players – two sources that are starting to run thin. The game audience has seen what happens when big developers try to penetrate this increasingly competitive market and go – no one need to remind infamous debates as Concord and a problem -looking Marathon. In other words, multiplayer is risky and even more risky for society and IP, which has almost no experience with it.
If the project Orion and Project Sirius find success for more players, the CD project Red will have a moment
Of course, it is not possible to be a dour about CDPR prospects in this space: Orion project and Sirius project It could end up as a big problem for their relevant franchise. Wizard 3 and Cyberpunk 2077 They have shown that they have incredible inertial power, remain part of the Zeitgeist game even after years without new content. You can only imagine what could be with a multiplayer, which is usually designed with regard to longevity.
The AAA scene for multi -player is incredibly competitive and chaotic and is sent daily. However, if the RED CD project can succeed in the introduction of this main IP in this ecosystem, it was the same clarity of vision and Panache as their single player counterparts, it could provoke a new era for the famous Polish company. This could be an era of uncontrollable game and Fomo-lever, but it can also be the beginning of something special-for CD project RED, but also for the multiplayer industry as a whole.
