Cyberpunk 2 Associate Director Says Half of Game's Quest Team Are Former Modders

CD Projekt Red's associate game director Pawel Sasko has revealed that a significant portion of the team working on Cyberpunk 2, the highly anticipated sequel to Cyberpunk 2077, are former modders. Sasko mentioned this during a recent REDstream discussion about the upcoming game's numerous enhancements. He explained that many of the modders were initially players who customized the game using mods, providing them with valuable experience in game customization.

Sasko emphasized the importance of these modders, stating that they are "a foot-in-the-door technique" and a gateway into game development. According to Sasko, roughly half of Cyberpunk 2's quest team, responsible for creating the game's objectives and story segments, are former modders. This decision to recruit from the modding community was part of CDPR's strategy to keep the game fresh and support the creativity of its community.
