There's been an element of will-they-won't-they when it comes to multiplayer in Cyberpunk 2077. Developer CD Projekt RED has spoken about its possible inclusion many times. Very recently, senior concept artist Marthe Jonkers commented on the matter: "We're not saying no multiplayer, but it doesn't mean we're saying yes either. It's still an R&D phase," he told Eurogamer.
Things have changed between now and then, as the studio has officially announced multiplayer is on the way for the sci-fi RPG.
Multiplayer is officially coming to Cyberpunk 2077. The team is now recruiting specifically for this aspect of the game. According to the above tweets, the feature will be deployed after the game's launch in April 2020, and even after some free single player DLC. Sounds like we might be waiting a little while, then, but it's nice to know multiplayer is definitely in development. This was already a mammoth project, but with multiplayer being added later, Cyberpunk 2077 is shaping up to be an absolute monster.

I think I need to see what this multiplayer will look like first before I get excited. I've never been a fan of competitive multiplayer, and if it's stuff like TDM or the likes, I probably won't bother.
If, on the other hand, it's multiplayer, story-driven content where you have to work together to do stuff, I am all for that.
I just hope that CDPR don't jump on the BR bandwagon and release a Cyberpunk BR mode..
@SaucyBrotato didn’t you enjoy the last BR game you played?
@kyleforrester87 No, I'm terrible at them xD
Epic game, free dlc and an open hiring process for multi player - we have to reward and celebrate our allies
If it's the typical pvp stuff then I'll most likely never touch it.
I hope it's co-op rather than PvP. Given Cyberpunk's roots as a tabletop RPG, party-based missions or something like that would be pretty cool. Could be just like Johnny Silverhand and the gang,
So if it is multiplayer they will have full models and full set of animations of all actions for the characters. So that means they could make 3rd ppov option if they really wanted to. Hmmm
So we know its multiplayer, but not sure if its co op or pvp or both. Well that's on the fence about this game, need to do more research. But if its co op that will definitely sway me positively. If pvp only....eh. not a mode I'll ever touch.
I can't say I am interested in a MP for this but I am also not going to say anything negative about it either until I at least have some indication of how it works and what it offers first...
@BridgeToClarity at least it can be ignored at least.
It might be good... I’m actually surprised it has multiplayer
What about Cyberpunk VR? VR Multiplayer? since there is no longer any third person scenes VR seems like an option.
