Cyberpunk 2077 Has A New Quest Director

It’s been nearly a year now since Cyberpunk 2077 launched, and it’s still been unable to shake the controversy associated with it. While the game was touted as a generation-defining RPG, it launched with a bevy of issues that caused fan backlash. While the technical issues have persisted despite patches from CD Projekt Red, there have also been fans asking for updates on expansions and new quests. For those fans, Cyberpunk 2077 has a new quest director.

Paweł Sasko, who was previously the lead quest designer for Cyberpunk 2077 and The Witcher 3, is now taking over as Cyberpunk 2077’s quest director. Sasko is a games industry veteran with years of experience, so his expertise will undoubtedly come in handy when working on new content for Cyberpunk 2077.

One of the most notable examples of Sasko’s work is The Witcher 3’s famous Bloody Baron questline, which Sasko had a direct hand in alongside writer Karolina Stachyra. The Bloody Baron is one of the most lauded story arcs to be featured in The Witcher 3, which is high praise considering how the game’s narrative and world have been received in the six years since it launched. With the new role, Sasko might be able to bring that same level of quest design to more of Cyberpunk 2077’s future content.

Sasko also has a well-demonstrated love for Cyberpunk 2077, as he streams the game every Sunday, answering fans’ questions and offering insight into how the game was designed. It’s not uncommon for developers to share such stories, though seeing a developer be passionate about their work is always a positive.

However, Cyberpunk 2077 is still in an interesting place right now. CD Projekt is still chipping away at technical fixes for the game’s laundry list of issues, issues that have turned the public perception of the game – and even CD Projekt Red itself – sour. That leaves the studio in between a rock and a hard place, as fans are asking for new content but there are still some fixes to be made that should take priority.

Whether or not Cyberpunk 2077 will be the game it was meant to be is a matter of debate, but CD Projekt Red does seem to be doing its best to capture the original vision. While there’s still a long way for it to go, moves like this promotion and hiring The Witcher 3 modders to create better mod support for Cyberpunk 2077 are both examples of things trending in the right direction.

Cyberpunk 2077 is available now for PC, PS4, Stadia, and Xbox One. PS5 and Xbox Series X versions are in development.
