After a lot of hard work and a huge expansion, Cyberpunk 2077 became the game people wanted it to be<\/a>, but CD Projekt Red thinks it still has space to improve in the sequel.<\/p>\n Codenamed Project Orion, the sequel to the sprawling RPG is being developed primarily by CDPR\u2019s new studio in Boston, rather than its home base in Poland. In a recent episode of AnsweRED<\/a>, the studio\u2019s official podcast, the game\u2019s acting Executive Producer Dan Hernberg spoke about why they feel this is the best thing for the game.<\/p>\n \u201cI think Cyberpunk is obviously a uniquely American story. It\u2019s got a lot of like punk energy, and it was written by an American, so it just seems right to do it in America,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n They also provided some specific examples of how the previous game not being developed in America by Americans led to some errors. Associate Game Director Pawe\u0142 Sasko shared one story that went viral on Reddit, about the differences in manhole covers across the world.<\/p>\n \u201cThere\u2019s this interesting story after the release of Cyberpunk 2077 that blew up on Reddit at some point, and it\u2019s the manhole debacle. Like, the manholes that are covering the roads, right? There was this post with the guy saying that there is this immersive breaking bug in Cyberpunk, and the bug was about the fact that the covers for manholes for a sewer were the manholes that you use normally in Europe, in Germany, for a pavement. Those are not manholes that you normally cover in America on the streets.<\/p>\n \u201cThis is basically showing you the differences, right? When you go to America, there\u2019s things like hydrants, where they are placed and how they look like. The street lights, the positions of that, the trash bins, right? They\u2019re in the front of the house, right by the street. In Poland, in Europe, you don\u2019t see it almost anywhere. There\u2019s so much nuance. Dan, when we talk about it, he calls it the Americana.\u201d<\/p>\n Hernberg then added that while the small differences between places aren\u2019t necessarily immersion-breaking, they would be noticeable to people who lived in the place where the game was set. Having developers from America will allow for more \u201ccultural touchpoints\u201d with the audience.<\/p>\n CD Projekt Red has confirmed that they are also working on a sequel to The Witcher 3<\/a>, codenamed Polaris.<\/p>\nWhy is the Cyberpunk 2077 sequel being developed in America?<\/h2>\n
