Cyberpunk 2077 Will Have Multiplayer Sometime After Release
The Cyberpunk being one of the most popular game franchise in the market has generated quite a buzz as its release date approaches ever closer. The game has had quite a few delays in the recent months as the developers have been working on different things associated with the game and to ensure the compatibility of the game with different platforms and next gen consoles. One of the discussions surrounding the game is the multiplayer mode. Will we get multiplayer feature with the release of the game? Or will it be available in the future? Well let us have a look.
Will Cyberpunk 2077 Have Multiplayer?
The multiplayer mode won't be available as part of the base game however the developers have suggested that the mode is likely to be integrated in the future. According to CD Projekt Red the multiplayer mode will have its own, unique AAA release instead of it being packaged together with the game at the launch. This is to ensure that all aspects of the game are running smoothly rather than hastily integrating multiplayer feature and releasing the game with different bugs. So from the conversations by the developers it is obvious that it's still quite some time before we get the multiplayer mode on the Cyberpunk 2077 game.
So when exactly are we getting the multiplayer functionality on the game? As per the indications from the creators of the game it is likely we will get multiplayer in 2022, which is the projected date of release for the mode. According to Michal Nowakowski, who is the publishing head of the CD Projekt Red, the multiplayer is unlikely to be launched in 2021, which means 2022 or possibly even 2023 is the year when we get to experience the multiplayer mode on the game.
For people wondering how exactly will the multiplayer work, well there have been some details about the same. The multiplayer mode will be available as free download for all the gamers who already have the base game. While there are no details available regarding the specifics of the multiplayer mode in Cyberpunk 2077 or how it will play on the game but the fact that the CD Projekt Red have hired the services of Digital Scrapes means that it is going to be epic.
The Digital Scrapes for their excellent body of work on different franchises and thus this means that we can expect a very accomplished and comprehensive multiplayer mode when it is launched for the Cyberpunk 2077 game. There are also reports of microtransactions being planned for the game but at this point of time we don't have too much details or information on what form they would be included as. Though we know that the microtransactions will only be a part of the online multiplayer mode whereas the single player base game will remain as a part of the single purchase offered by the developers. The DLC expansions in the form of updates are expected to be available in the future as well.
