The report follows a recent video from CD Projekt Red Chief Executive Officer Marcin Iwinski where he seemingly took responsibility for the controversial launch of Cyberpunk 2077 while also simultaneously throwing the company's Q&A team under the proverbial bus. The developers also revealed that the impressive demo from 2018 was 'fake' and that development didn't actually begin until 2016, despite the early announcement.
In a detailed report from Bloomberg, close to 20 devs, both current employees and developers that have since moved on from the company, revealed what their time working on Cyberpunk 2077 was like and how chaotic the process was behind closed doors. Now, new details have emerged that shows the disconnect between leadership and the developers themselves, details that the head of CD Projekt Red has since addressed.
Despite that excitement, reports pre-launch painted a dire picture about what development was like for the action-RPG, including reports of a high-pressure environment that resulted in grueling working hours.
Cyberpunk 2077 was one of the most anticipated games of the generation and a large part of that was due to the reputation CD Projekt Red had with gamers and the excitement to experience something new from The Witcher studio.
