Cyberpunk 2 Quest Team Features Former Modders [Confirmed]

According to verified reports from IGN Articles, CD Projekt Red associate game director Pawel Sasko announced during an October 21 REDstreams broadcast that half of the development staff building Cyberpunk 2's quest team are former modders. This strategic hiring shift highlights CDPR’s deliberate commitment to incorporating grassroots talent directly into AAA production pipelines. Alongside this revelation, the studio discussed plans for robust cross-platform support spanning PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch 2 hardware, signaling an ambitious technical rollout for the sequel known as Project Orion. Sasko emphasized that the incredible ingenuity demonstrated by community modders has been instrumental in sustaining engagement for Cyberpunk 2077 over the years. By bridging the gap between professional game development and hobbyist creation, CDPR aims to capture the raw creative energy that fans crave. Industry analysts note that this philosophy directly challenges traditional studio insularity, potentially setting a new benchmark for open-world narrative design across the broader industry. Parallels are already being drawn to other major RPG shifts, reminiscent of the broader industry transitions explored in the [BioWare RPG Legacy: Future of Mass Effect 5 [Update 2026]](/news/bioware-rpg-legacy-mass-effect-update). Fans eagerly await further production milestones as the studio scales up its global development hubs in Boston and Warsaw.
