Cyberpunk 2077 may still be years away from release, but developer CD Projekt Red is not averse to teasing its fans with juicy details. This week, CEO and Co-Founder Adam Kicinski had a lot to say about all things CD Projekt Red, from Gwent to The Witcher to Cyberpunk 2077.

With Cyberpunk 2077 still in early development, Kicinski didn’t have a lot to say about the game, but he did offer some small details. The most intriguing thing he was willing to reveal is that the scope of the game will far exceed what was in The Witcher 3.

For Witcher 3 fans this is a very exciting tidbit considering just how expansive the world was in that game. It may not have been the biggest open world in a video game, but The Witcher 3’s maps were dense and populated with tons of quests and things to explore. It also fit the fantasy theme very well, with a wealth of small tons, open plains, and dangerous caves.

This isn’t the first time that CD Projekt Red has compared Cyberpunk 2077 and The Witcher 3 and it likely won’t be the last. For a lot of RPG fans, The Witcher 3 is the gold standard by which open-world titles are measured, and knowing that Cyberpunk seeks to outdo The Witcher is sure to build hype. That being said, we don’t know if Cyberpunk 2077 will opt for the open world approach of The Witcher 3 or go for something completely different.

A prior rumor suggested that the game might incorporate single player and multiplayer elements, but CD Projekt Red has not confirmed anything thus far. Kicinski was even asked about multiplayer in Cyberpunk 2077 but coyly avoided acknowledging one way or another.

In addition to talk of Cyberpunk 2077’s size, Kicinski said that the development team is eager to show fans what they have been working on. He wouldn’t give any hint as to when we might see the game, but it could be as early as E3 2018. But if Cyberpunk 2077 is to top The Witcher 3, then we’re sure that fans want CD Projekt to take all the time it needs.
