Cyberpunk 2077 News – Map Size EXPANDED, Unique Crowd System & 20 Million Sales Forecast!

Has Cyberpunk 2077’s Map EXPANDED Horizontally? Today we are going over some forecasts for CD Projekt and Cyberpunk 2077 in the new year via Business outlet Bloomberg, some new Cyberpunk 2077 related products available for pre-order, some more details from John Mamais, some Countdown to the Dark future episodes, some fan creations and art & more.

First let’s jump into some of the forecasts made in an article via Business news publication Bloomberg.com regarding CD PROJEKT and Cyberpunk 2077s future. CD PROJEKT snagged a spot-on Bloomberg’s 50 businesses to watch in 2020 largely due to Cyberpunk 2077, with estimated sales growth numbers just over 445% and 12-month sales being 108.34 million as per analysts.
In a brief synopsis as to why CD PROJEKT will have such astronomical numbers, Bloomberg’s Matthew Kanterman says this “CD PROJEKT SA, Poland’s largest video game maker could beat analyst 2020 sales forecasts.

Next up we have an article from Ausgamers which adds more detail to an interview we went over in a prior news episode with head of the Krakow studio John Mamais. In a question regarding recent hiring’s and the growth of CD PROJEKT RED, mamais mentions “We weren’t smart enough to know how many people we needed” “When we wrote the initial concept for Cyberpunk 2077, we didn’t know. So, we grew as the design was developing. And really, you don’t know how many cinematic animators you’re going to need until you have a scope for the number of scenes you’re going to have in the game. We didn’t have that in the beginning, we just knew we wanted to have cool cinematics and be as big as the Witcher 3.

The crowd systems we’ve seen so far are incredibly impressive and John Mamis extrapolates on this by saying “We kind of had to do it cause it’s a big city setting right?” “You need crowds of people moving around or it wont look right. It was very technically challenging and still is. We’re working on it in fact. Last time I talked to the technical director, he talked its current status as a real achievement, where we’ve got all these people in the same space moving around. Different to the Witcher crowds, because if you look closely, they’re very similar to each other in how they look and move. In Cyberpunk these are all, in a way, unique characters moving around the space. It’s a combination of AI, tech and art.

Moving on we have a new look at some Arasaka Security forces in this cover art for PCGamer magazine & Map size differences between last year’s 2018 trailer and the one that can be seen here. First let’s take a look at some of the Arasaka riot police fending of Night City citizens. Moving on to the most interesting part of the image we have the new map, which looks a little bit different from the old map we saw in the 2018 trailer.

Now if we look very closely, we can see a ton of new stops added in virtually all directions, with the most significant length added on the south side near Rancho Coronado, and in the North near Westbrook.

Next up we have a couple Cyberpunk 2077 products now available for pre order. First, we have the super anticipated Samurai/2077 bomber jackets which can now be pre-ordered.
