While waiting for Cyberpunk 2, its creative director recently took the time to dismantle a popular and widely shared opinion among fans of the first game.
Igor Sarzyński, who served as director of cinematics on Cyberpunk 2077has gained ground for its sequel, since he now holds the position of creative director. In any case, it was under his supervision that we were treated to the notable sequences that we know, despite the fact that everything happens through the eyes of our character, V. Including the very first act of the game, which allows us to discover Night City with a certain form of carefreeness, before the major twist which will literally turn our mercenary’s existence upside down. Sarzyński rightly shared an opinion very different from that of the community on this very important first part of the game.
An ideal Act 1 for Cyberpunk 2077, according to its cinematic director
As a reminder, Act 1 of Cyberpunk 2077 brings together the entire narrative arc relating to the heist under the supervision of Dexter DeShawn in order to steal the Relic, an Arasaka technology that could bring them big profits. V and Jackie must follow several leads to obtain the information, the material and the slightest advantage to carry out this mission. All this so that things take a catastrophic turn, on many levels, and a sequence of particularly striking scenes, even five years after its release.
According to Igor Sarzyński, now creative director of Cyberpunk 2, this Act I presents an ideal rhythmand he recently shared via his BluSky account his disagreement with fans who would have liked it to last longer, in particular to spend more time with Jackie and the other notable characters from the beginning of the game. It wouldn’t make the game better. It feels like we need to spend more time on Tattooine with Luke the Farmer before he becomes a Jedi. Dragging out Act 1 too much would have made the experience disjointed and diluted. ».
Igor Sarzyński also set the record straight regarding the Cyberpunk 2077 prologue and the time skip of a year and a half between the introduction of the three origins of V and the beginning of Act 1. He explains that “ it’s not about cut content, we always wanted to do it like that. But I’ll talk about that again in another thread. “. Although Cyberpunk 2 is not likely to be released before 2030, we hope that it will be as significant as its predecessor, minus the big launch problems.
