There are a great deal of upcoming CD Projekt Red video games, and if you’re fretted that the studio may alter its methods and go all-in on microtransactions in a fit of commercialism, do not stress. The studio states it does not see a location for microtransactions in single-player video games – just multiplayer titles.
Throughout a web chat hosted by Polish monetary website StockWatch.pl (by means of JuiceHead on Twitter), CD Projekt CFO Piotr Nielubowicz was asked if the business prepared to include microtransactions to future video games. “We do not see a location for microtransactions when it comes to single-player video games,” Nielubowicz reacted (by means of Google Translate), “however we do not dismiss that we will utilize this option in the future when it comes to multiplayer tasks.”
CD Projekt Red has at least one multiplayer task in advancement today: Project Sirius. That’s a Witcher video game that’s set to provide “multiplayer gameplay on top of a single-player experience” – or, a minimum of, that’s how the video game was explained before advancement on Sirius was restarted. In other places in this chat, financier relations VP Karolina Gnaś stated that Sirius is still in pre-production.
The devs have actually likewise been talking about the possibility of bringing multiplayer to the Cyberpunk 2077 follow up, however it seems like there’s been no decision on that point. (Plans to have multiplayer in the initial Cyberpunk 2077 never ever concerned fulfillment.) None of CD Projekt’s upcoming video games sound especially near to release, so I think it’ll be a long time before we discover what the studio’s take on multiplayer microtransactions may appear like.
BioWare “missed our huge chance to be Steam” and offer The Witcher: “We’re kicking ourselves about it now.”
