Cyberpunk 2077 campaign will be shorter than Witcher 3's because of flaky players

A CD Projekt RED developer said that Cyberpunk 2077 will have a shorter campaign because of The Witcher 3’s low completion rate. Patrick K. Mills, senior level designer at CD Projekt RED, shared the update during a post-episode AMA. Mills described the reasoning behind CD Projekt’s decision to go with a lighter campaign this time around. “looking at the metrics you see tremendous numbers of people played through that game really far but never made it to the end. We want you to see the whole story”. Out of all the gamers who bought The Witcher 3 on Steam, only 27 percent have managed to finish the main story. The most obvious factor, of course, is that most gamers are hobbyists and The Witcher 3 is very, very long. Mills assured fans that there’s lots to do in Cyberpunk 2077. Cyberpunk 2077 will be released on Nov. 12 for PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X and Series S and Xbox One
