Cyberpunk 2077 was initially developed by CD Projekt Red with a distinct focus on a first-person perspective, a choice rooted in the game’s specific narrative elements. According to Igor Sarzynski, the creative director for the upcoming Cyberpunk 2, the first-person viewpoint was deliberate because the protagonist, V, is portrayed as a mind inhabiting a decaying body, with the digital presence of Johnny Silverhand visible only to her. Sarzynski explained that a third-person camera would diminish this core narrative aspect by placing V and Johnny on visual par with the observer. Despite the narrative justification, players have long requested a third-person…
