Recently, CD Projekt RED shared the first gameplay footage from Cyberpunk 2077. Cyberpunk 2077 is an open world, first-person, narrative-driven role-playing game set in the universe of the classic Cyberpunk 2020 pen and paper game system. However, gamers want to know more about the main story and side quests.
According to a post on ResetEra, the latest issue of Edge magazine details how side quests are handled in Cyberpunk 2077. Any stories, characters, or themes that aren't explored in depth in the main story are fully fleshed out in side quests.
We want to make sure that all of them are up to the standards of the main quest – that there's nothing that feels like filler, just something to do while waiting for the next quest, or to get more money to buy the next thing. We don't really like to do that. We want to make sure that every quest feels like a complete story in and of itself... We don't artificially limit ourselves. Our philosophy for quest design is, 'If the player can logically do it, then they can'. And if they can't, then we have to come up with a damn good reason why.
Hopefully every side quest will be meaningful. Even in The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, some of the optional missions felt unnecessary.
Cyberpunk 2077 should release on Xbox One, PC, and PlayStation 4 in the future. It's going to be enhanced for Xbox One X as well. It's unclear if the title is launching in 2019 or beyond. However, given the scope of the project, it seems like we have a long wait ahead of us.
