This was shared on the social network X by Cyberpunk 2077's quest director, Paweł Sasko.
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt
Sasko did not disclose exactly how much creating quests costs. However, he mentioned that budgets aren’t the only thing that ties different quests together. According to him, their production schedules are also similar, and equally talented teams work on everything.
At the same time, Sasko admitted that side quest teams usually have more creative freedom. It’s easier for them to come up with something new because they aren’t as heavily constrained by the storyline. However, Sasko emphasized that this doesn’t mean that side quest writers can completely relax—they still have to create engaging stories.
“In both The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt and Cyberpunk 2077, high-quality quests were a mandatory condition, not just a nice addition,” Sasko wrote.
Let us remind you, next year CD PROJEKT plans to release DLC for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt titled "Ballads of the Past." Additionally, they are working on a range of games including The Witcher IV, Cyberpunk 2, Project Hadar, and Project Sirius.
