That and I don’t think our hearts could take it. They do use ”certain team members” between teams given their scope, but it won’t impact the day-to-day development.
The Witcher 3 was due out this fall but the studio published an open letter to fans explaining their decision to smash our dreams delay until February 2015.
”Cyberpunk 2077 is developed by a separate team within CD Projekt Red, so the development of Cyberpunk 2077 is not really affected,” Iwinski told Gamespot. While confirmed for PC, it’s not certain if it will come to Xbox One and PS4. In any case things are progressing as they should at the Polish studio.
”In order to ship a huge RPG we do use help of certain team members between teams. It works this way between Cyberpunk 2077 and The Witcher 3,” he continued. Developers usually cross team lines only when they’re finalising ”key” features and content, and so The Witcher 3’s delay won’t affect much.
”We are working hard to deliver an outstanding RPG and rest assured, that all the learnings on The Witcher 3 are being applied to the Cyberpunk 2077 development,” he said. The Witcher 3 releases on PC, Xbox One and PS4 in February 2015. Cyberpunk 2077 releases on PC at an undisclosed date, but hopefully not the year of its namesake.
