Developer CD Projekt RED is currently ramping up to the release of the first major DLC for Cyberpunk 2077—Phantom Liberty.
The quest director for Cyberpunk 2077, Paweł Sasko, revealed during a Twitch stream that player complaints about the linearity of the game’s story are justified, as caught by PCGamesN.
Sasko goes into detail about player expectations, and how the developers saw the game’s linearity.
