Is Cyberpunk 2077 Open World? Much like CD Projekt RED's last grand adventure The Witcher 3, Cyberpunk 2077 is an open-world action RPG. The difference is the map size.

Is Cyberpunk 2077 Open World?

Cyberpunk 2077 takes place almost entirely within Night City. It's technically smaller than the map found in The Witcher 3, but will be denser. The city makes better use of the vertical space and does away with the countryside and roads that made much of the map of The Witcher 3.

Richard Borzymowski, a producer for Cyberpunk 2077, explained in an interview with GamesRadar how the map will work.

"Cyberpunk might even be a bit smaller than The Witcher, but when it comes to density of content, [...] you basically take the Witcher and you squeeze it right in. You delete the wilderness between this," Borzymowski said.

The city is like another character, and it has to be teeming with life to establish the proper mood.

"The city wouldn't be believable if it wouldn't be without life. So, we packed it full of life," he said.

The game's map may be smaller, but it will be much denser than the open-world fantasy games we're accustomed to playing.
