Cyberpunk 2077 has been a long awaited title from CD Projekt RED for a few years now ever since the trailer released in 2013. Although details about the title are scarce, according to a new job ad from the developer, it may feature driving or flying vehicles.
The job ad posted by CD Projekt RED is for a vehicle gameplay programmer. Part of the description reads “The person in this position will cooperate with Gameplay & Level Designers teams to create the whole architecture of vehicle related code, and the physics of driving / flying in those vehicles.”
In addition to a vehicle programmer, the company is also looking for a vehicle gameplay designer who “will work with other disciplines to create compelling vehicle based gameplay, including but not limited to; vehicle handling and controls, vehicle combat and relevant vehicle based AI systems.”
Having some version of flying vehicles makes sense as the game takes place in a future with advanced technologies and flying police vehicles can be seen in the teaser trailer. Odds are that players will be able to control certain vehicles to traverse the city – an open world metropolis – in the game as well as fight off enemies.
No release date has been officially announced, but CD Projekt RED seems to be gearing up to fully commit to development on Cyberpunk 2077 now that The Witcher 3: Complete Edition has launched. As of now, it should release for PC, Xbox One, and PlayStation 4. Seeing as it will likely be a couple more years until players can gets their hands on the game, I would imagine it could eventually come to Project Scorpio and PlayStation Neo as well. CD Projekt RED currently has over 60 open positions on its website, all dedicated to Cyberpunk 2077 development.
