CD Projekt RED claims Cyberpunk 2077 has the roleplaying cranked to eleven.

„I don’t know, there’s a lot, there’s a ton of weapons. How I would summarize this is… I think people tend to forget that Cyberpunk 2077 is an RPG first and foremost. Right? So customization and equipment choices, making choices in the skills you have, the talents, how your character looks, how you choose dialogue, it’s the centre stage of this experience. I think some people look at this game and think “Oh man, it’s first-person and has guns! It’s a shooter!” and that’s a very surface-level assessment *chuckles* I think in many ways, it’s a much, much deeper role-playing experience than The Witcher 3[: Wild Hunt]”, Miles Tost, the senior level designer of CD Projekt RED, said in an interview with NetRunner 2077.

He also explained how the Poles are trying to contextualize the blocked doors whenever it will be possible in Night City: „We try. Not everywhere is like that. We can’t put a bouncer in front of every door in the world. But in areas, we feel it’s super obvious like if there’s an area in the main quest with a door you can’t enter, in that context, we’ll try to put something extra there.

But the number of doors we have in Cyberpunk 2077 will completely dwarf the number of doors we have in The Witcher 3. At one point in The Witcher 3’s development, I counted the number of doors we have. We have around 2,500 doors for that game. Naturally in a game like this, compared to The Witcher 3, there are far more doors in the world of Cyberpunk,” Tost added. Those who have a phobia of doors (is it ostiumphobia?) shouldn’t play the game then? Will there be ten thousand doors?

Cyberpunk 2077 will launch on November 19 on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC. By then, the Xbox Series X will allegedly be out, and the PlayStation 5 might be available from a day after it. Both next-gen consoles will support the game, but their next-gen patch will only arrive later, possibly in early 2021.
