Daily CDPR is making Bloodlines 2 Thread
you’re autistic
Yes, but I'm right.
They're working on:
The Witcher 4
Cyberpunk 2077 Expansion
Cyberpunk 2077 Mulitplayer game
Another Gwent RPG
They're not making Bloodlines 2.
What ever happened to the TW3 next-gen upgrade?
>Cyberpunk 2077 Mulitplayer game
Multiplayer CP2077 isn't even confirmed in development. The last official word was it was cancelled fully. It may be in the works but it doesn't change what they have said about multiple AAA projects and expansions.
See
>RED 2.0 - “We intend to continue growing organically, while locking in partnerships with proven external partners.”
>RED 2.0 - “starting in 2022 - to work on multiple AAA games and expansions in parallel.”
Supposed to come out this year but there was a rumor that it was being developed by a Russian team, so it might be delayed.
It's due for Q2 2022 which is April, May, June.
The developer of the next gen upgrade is Saber Interactive an american company. It was already delayed once, could be delayed again but unlikely.
That would be some next level virtue signaling.
