Cyberpunk 2077 Sequel Will Be More Authentically American Thanks To New Boston Studio

CD Projekt RED has said that the Cyberpunk 2077 sequel is likely to be more authentically American due to it being developed by the company’s new Boston studio.

Speaking in the latest AnsweRED Podcast, Dan Hernberg, acting executive producer, said that it ‘seems right’ to have the sequel made in America.

I think Cyberpunk is obviously a uniquely American story. It’s got a lot of like punk energy, and it was written by an American, so it just seems right to do it in America.

Meanwhile, associate game director Pawel Sasko offered a number of examples as to why the original Cyberpunk 2077 didn’t feel authentic considering it was set in America.

Like, the manholes that are covering the roads, right? There was this post [on Reddit] with the guy saying that there is this immersion-breaking bug in Cyberpunk, and the bug was about the fact that the covers for the manholes for the sewers 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. This is basically showing you the differences, right?

When you go to America, there’s things like hydrants, where they are placed and what they look like. The street lights, the positions of that, the trash bins, right? They’re in the front of the house, right by the street. In Poland, in Europe, you don’t see them almost anywhere. There’s so much nuance. Dan, when we talk about it, he calls it Americana.

The Cyberpunk 2077 sequel is currently in development and is without a release date.
