Cyberpunk 2077 multiplayer mod CyberMP has gained traction following a profitable playtest wherein 20 gamers ran round in the identical Night City.
The one-person developer behind CyberpMP lately invited YouTuber JuiceHead and others to check its multiplayer model of Cyberpunk 2077, and it really labored. Though missing correct animations, by no means thoughts quests, the mod lets gamers roam the open world collectively, have interaction in firefights, and race throughout Night City.
This naked bones model of a full Cyberpunk 2077 multiplayer mode is due to this fact a far cry from official contemporaries like Grand Theft Auto Online however could lay the groundwork for one. JuiceHead famous “no points with lag or gamers teleporting round”, and, even in a 15-player loss of life match, “the sync was virtually good.”
The mod at present lacks correct participant animations as a result of, as Cyberpunk 2077 solely exists as a single-player, first-person sport, developer CD Projekt had no motive to make the participant look good in third-person.
The mod remains to be in lively improvement, after all, so there’s an opportunity this will probably be added earlier than it is launched totally. The developer has already made clear it will not obtain quest help, nevertheless, so the mod will not be as concerned as a full GTA Online-style mode. That being stated, it does have mod help itself, so there’s at all times an opportunity different group members will work on extra options after it is launched. It has no launch date but, however as even this primary model appears to work fairly effectively, a full launch is probably not too far off.
Cyberpunk 2077 gamers have longed for a multiplayer mode ever since CD Projekt itself introduced it, however the sport’s notorious launch noticed it canceled as work was as a substitute centered on fixing the bottom sport.
It’s not dominated out for the Cyberpunk 2077 sequel at present in improvement at CD Projekt, nevertheless, so gamers could have some hope for some official multiplayer shenanigans sooner or later.
