The World Of CYBERPUNK 2077 Will Be Handcrafted With No Procedurally Generated Elements

We've already seen how beautifully detailed the world of Cyberpunk 2077 is, but now one of the developers behind the game has provided some insight into how the gorgeous setting was created. More past the jump.

Even though we've less than an hour's worth of gameplay, CD Projekt Red, the publisher behind acclaimed games like The Witcher III: Wild Hunt, has still managed to capture the attention of gamers everywhere with Cyberpunk 2077.

While the exciting combat and RPG elements undoubtedly played a large part in sparking the interest of fans, it was the highly detailed and rich world of Cyberpunk 2077 that hooked many viewers.

Now, thanks to an interview with Jeux Act (translated by Wccftech), lead cinematic animator Maciej Pietras has revealed one of the reasons the world presented in the trailers looks to be of such high quality. 

According to Pietras, absolutely no elements in Cyberpunk 2077 are procedurally generated. Instead, everything will be handcrafted because they, as the animator put it, "believe that quality comes first through manual creation."

Aside from explaining how the game's setting was created, the developer also reiterated that the story will take place entirely in Night City—although he makes it clear that this doesn't mean the world won't be as large as the one featured in The Witcher III.


"Measuring the size of the open world of Cyberpunk 2077 is difficult. To compare it to The Witcher 3, let’s say that the world of the latter was very vast in its length. It was an open world made of very large natural landscapes. Going from point A to point B took a lot of time, because you were riding, but also because it was a game that stretched horizontally. The world of Cyberpunk 2077 is above all a vertical world, with buildings everywhere, and in this, it is difficult for us to establish a metric comparison. In the demo, you saw the main character waking up in his apartment, looking out his window and seeing a living world. To go out, take the elevator, you can see that there are several floors in a building."

In all, it looks like CD Projekt Red is pulling out all of the stops with Cyberpunk 2077, but whether this means it will match or surpass the acclaim and success of the publisher's previous titles remains to be seen.

There is currently no set release date for Cyberpunk 2077, but some sources have suggested the highly anticipated RPG will launch sometime this year.
