Cyberpunk 2077 sequel will stick with one polarizing perspective according to job listing, and fans are split

Project Orion, the in-development sequel to Cyberpunk 2077, is slowly cooking in the Unreal Engine oven at CD Projekt Red. As part of its efforts to speed up and advance development, CDPR revealed an interesting detail regarding the upcoming title in a job listing, confirming it’s sticking to first-person perspective.

A job listing shared on LinkedIn by CD Projekt Red Boston seeks a senior animator, whose work will involve the development of animations and assets “to enhance the players immersive experience in first person view.” This tiny detail seems inconsequential, but the confirmation of a first-person perspective for the second Cyberpunk game has the community split on the issue once again. When the game initially came out, players were dissatisfied with it being first-person both during gameplay and cutscenes, which severely limited how much you can engage with your character’s looks that you might have meticulously crafted. The sequel appears to be going down the same path, though we don’t know yet if this first-person perspective will once again entail cutscenes or simply focus on gameplay.
