Cyberpunk 2077 developer CD Projekt Red has revealed Cyberpunk’s main campaign will be shorter than that of The Witcher 3 because the studio “got a lot of complaints” about the length of Geralt’s story.
In an interview after the last Night City Wire stream, senior quest designer Patrick K Mills acknowledged the team was mindful that as “tremendous amounts of people […] never made it to the [end of The Witcher 3]”, it decided to make Cyberpunk 2077 “slightly shorter”.
“We do know that the main story run in Cyberpunk 2077 is slightly shorter than The Witcher 3,” Mills said (thanks, ResetEra). “We got a lot of complaints about The Witcher 3’s main story just being too long. And looking at the metrics, you see tremendous amounts of people played through that game really far, but never made it to the end.
