Cyberpunk 2077 Aims for Triple-A Quality

The development of CD Projekt RED’s upcoming open world RPG Cyberpunk 2077 is “progressing fast and according to plan,” we learn from this VG247 article that quotes a recent financial results conference call. The article also mentions that the developers over at CD Projekt are aiming for a level of polish that can rival the most refined AAA titles, which is honestly a nice thing to hear with all the recent rocky RPG releases.

Here are a few sample paragraphs and you take it from there:

In a call with brokerage house Vestor DM, CD Projekt CEO Adam Kiciński was asked what the studio had learned from Rockstar’s launch of Red Dead Redemption 2, that was “good enough” on release to earn itself a 97 on Metacritic, and whether or not he thinks Cyberpunk 2077 will be bug free enough to score at least a 95, given that it took a number of months to patch out The Witcher 3.

For reference, The Witcher 3 has a Metacritic score of 92.

“Without a doubt, quality is of paramount importance,” he replied. “We strive to publish games which are as refined as Red Dead Redemption 2, and recent Rockstar releases in general. That game is excellent, by the way, we are rooting for it. Rave reviews, excellent sales.

“What does that teach us? Well, it teaches us that we need to publish extraordinary games, and that’s exactly what we are planning.”
