Cyberpunk 2077 was one of the most anticipated games of 2020. Although it had a rough launch, the game’s single-player campaign impressed most of the gaming community. As we all know, CD Projekt Red has promised a multiplayer mode for Cyberpunk 2077 that would launch sometime in 2022. However, juicy new details about the game’s multiplayer mode have recently been leaked, and in this blog, we’ll break down everything we know so far.
What do we know so far?
The first thing we know for sure is that Cyberpunk 2077’s multiplayer mode will not be a simple extension of the single-player mode. The multiplayer mode is going to be a standalone game, but the details on how this will be done are still unclear. According to a statement from CD Projekt Red, the multiplayer mode’s development has started, but it is still in the early stages.
How will the game be monetized?
One of the most asked questions regarding the multiplayer mode of Cyberpunk 2077 is how the developers will monetize this game mode. Luckily, CD Projekt Red has given some sneak peeks of the game’s monetization system. According to the leaks, the multiplayer mode will have a “live service” model, which means that it will be updated regularly with new content like cosmetics, gear, and other items.
Players will be able to purchase these items by using the in-game currency or microtransactions. However, these microtransactions are not going to be a pay-to-win model; instead, they will be cosmetics only. The cosmetics will include items like skins, weapons, and other accessories that players can use to distinguish themselves from other players.
What will be the gameplay of the Multiplayer Mode?
CD Projekt Red has also given some details about what the gameplay of the Cyberpunk 2077 multiplayer mode will entail. According to the leaks, the multiplayer mode will feature some co-op missions and a PvP mode. The co-op missions will be like heists, where players will team up with other players to execute the mission, while the PvP mode will feature a battle-royale style mode.
The leaks also suggest that players will be able to create their own characters in the game’s multiplayer mode. This feature seems to be a carry-over from the single-player mode, where players can customize their characters’ appearance and stats.
What will be the setting of the Multiplayer Mode?
The Cyberpunk 2077 singleplayer mode was set in Night City, but the leaks suggest that the multiplayer mode will be set in an entirely new location. The new location will reportedly be a massive new city, where players can explore and interact with other players. Although this new location has not been confirmed yet, the leaks seem promising.
When will the multiplayer mode release?
Although CD Projekt Red has not given any exact dates for the multiplayer mode’s release, the leaks suggest that it will be releasing sometime in 2022. However, this information is subject to change, mainly due to the game’s rocky launch.
Conclusion
In conclusion, the Cyberpunk 2077 multiplayer mode seems to be a promising addition to the game. However, the leaks are still unconfirmed, and we won’t be sure about anything until CD Projekt Red officially announces something. Nonetheless, the leaks paint a fascinating picture of what we can expect from the multiplayer mode of Cyberpunk 2077. We just hope that CD Projekt Red has learned from their mistakes and will do a better job with the game’s multiplayer mode. Until then, we’ll keep our eyes peeled for any new developments regarding Cyberpunk 2077’s multiplayer mode.
