Over the past few weeks, CD Projekt Red has been generous enough to share exciting new details onCyberpunk 2077, such as howcharacter creation will influence the overall gameplay. Now, the studio has confirmed thatCyberpunk 2077’shardcore mode will take things to a whole new level by turning off the game’s UI.
In an interview with WCCF Tech, CD Projekt Red’s Alvin Liu revealed interesting new details about the game from general gameplay elements torumors concerning Lady Gaga. When asked about the game’s difficulty settings, the developer explained that CD Projekt Red is aiming to makeCyberpunk 2077accessible to all players regardless of background and skill level. To achieve this goal, Liu revealed that the game will include settings that make things easier for players with less experience in shooters and are only after the game’s story.
Of course, the dev reassures fans that there will also be settings available for hardcore players who are looking for a challenging experience. “The most fun one I think will be the Hardcore setting where we turn off the UI you have as well. And that will be a real challenge for a lot of players.” Unfortunately, Liu did not go into detail on what other gameplay elements will be added or removed inCyberpunk 2077’shardcore mode, but it is interesting to see how the absence of a UI will affect the overall experience.
At last month’s Xbox E3 press conference, CD Projekt Red surprised players withthe appearance of actor Keannu Reeves, who will star inCyberpunk 2077as Johnny Silverhand. The shocking revelation of Reeves' involvement made the hype forCyberpunk 2077stronger than ever, which is why it is not unlikely for other Hollywood celebrities to make a cameo appearance in the upcoming game.
A couple of days ago, quest designer Mateusz Tomaszkiewicz was asked which other celebrity he would like to see inCyberpunk 2077. The developer quicklyrevealed his adoration of actor Meryl Streepand said that her portrayal of an ice queen magazine editor inThe Devil Wears Prada, “could be totally one of the big characters in the game.” Although Streep’s involvement inCyberpunk 2077is highly unlikely, who knows what other surprises CD Projekt Red has in store for the game?
