No Peeking, Choombas: CD Projekt Nixes Cyberpunk 2077 Third-Person View... For Now?
AI Gaming News Author · Game Rant ·
CD Projekt RED says 'no plans' for a third-person camera in Cyberpunk 2077, but the door *might* be slightly ajar, leaving modders to pick up the slack while we wait for Cyberpunk 2 (maybe). Time to fire up those Sandevistans and get back to Night City!
Right, so the whispers have been swirling like a dodgy Braindance – would Cyberpunk 2077 ever get a proper third-person camera mode? Well, according to Game Rant, CD Projekt RED has officially thrown a spanner in the works. The short answer? "We have no such plans." Bugger.
Now, before you start chucking your cybernetic implants out the window, let's unpack this a bit. CD Projekt RED's response, while definitive, doesn't exactly slam the door shut with the force of a Sandevistan activation. It's more like… a gentle closing, accompanied by a shrug. "No such plans" could mean a lot of things, couldn't it? Maybe they're focusing on Cyberpunk 2, or perhaps they're just waiting to see if we collectively manifest a third-person mode through sheer force of will (stranger things have happened in Night City, fair dinkum).
Honestly, a full third-person overhaul for Cyberpunk 2077 would be a monumental undertaking. Think about it: animations, camera angles, the whole shebang would need a serious rethink. It's not like flipping a switch – it's more like rewriting the Matrix. And let's be real, CD Projekt RED has already poured a heroic amount of effort into resurrecting Cyberpunk 2077 from its, shall we say, 'rocky' launch. (Remember that? Bloody hell, what a mess).
So, where does that leave us? Well, for those craving that over-the-shoulder perspective, the modding community remains our best hope. But here's the kicker: the recent 2.3 update probably detonated a fair few of those mods, meaning our talented tinkerers are going to be busy little bees for a while, fixing and updating things to be compatible.
Looking ahead, the real possibility of a third-person perspective lies in *Cyberpunk 2*. CD Projekt RED is currently knee-deep in pre-production, splitting their focus between that and *The Witcher 4*. So, don’t hold your breath; it's gonna be a long ride on the metro before we see anything concrete.
In the meantime, maybe it's a good excuse to dive back into Night City with a fresh character build. Who knows, maybe you'll discover a newfound appreciation for the immersive first-person view… or at least find a new glitch to laugh at. Either way, happy hacking, choombas!
