Cyberpunk 2077 ‘incredible’ new third-person mode is a hit with fans

Multiple insiders, speaking anonymously to gaming outlets and lighting up X, claim the Polish powerhouse bowed to years of backlash against the original’s “headless merc” frustration. One purported dev quote circulating wildly: “The cry from fans is so hard we could not ignore.” The shift promises over-the-shoulder action showcasing deep customization – outfits, chrome, hair – without forcing players into vehicles for peeks at V 2.0.

This bombshell contradicts February 2025 job listings explicitly calling for “immersive 1st person view model animation” on Orion, fueling speculation of a mid-development pivot amid Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora‘s third-person toggle triumph. CDPR has stayed mum, but with 135 devs ramping up on Unreal Engine 5 – per November 2025 investor calls – eyes are on a potential 2028-2030 launch bloated by multiplayer ambitions.

The original Cyberpunk 2077 launched first-person only in 2020, a deliberate immersion choice after early third-person concepts were scrapped amid scope creep. Quest director PaweΕ‚ Sasko defended it in 2023: no regrets, as it glues players into V’s psyche – Johnny Silverhand haunting your skull, not a side NPC. Mods like “Third Person Extended” exploded post-Phantom Liberty, letting fans strut Dogtown – but janky animations and clipping sparked memes, not mods staying power.

Perspective
Pros for Orion Sequel
Cons for Orion Sequel

First-Person
Ultimate immersion; Johnny in-head; V.A.T.S.-like cyberware feels personal
Hides customization; “headless” frustration; limits spectacle

Third-Person
Full drip showcase; better combat flow (GTA/Arkham vibes); vehicle seamless
Breaks psyche horror; rework cutscenes/animations; less intimate

Toggle Hybrid
Player choice; best of both; mirrors Skyrim/Fallout
Massive dev cost; balance nightmares; identity crisis?

Multiplayer – confirmed in dev pipelines – could justify the flip: third-person shines in squad shooters, dodging first-person friendly fire woes. Analyst Mateusz Chrzanowski warned last year: online features balloon timelines to 2030. Mike Pondsmith teased Dogtown expansion plus “Chicago gone wrong” – a second city for cross-map heists.

Skeptics smell vapor: CDPR’s track record – 2077‘s launch bugs, Witcher 4 delays – screams caution. X leaker “@BenjminMol96313” joked Orion’s “maximum immersion” mandates pure first-person, permadeath cyberpsychosis.<post:110></post:110> Reddit’s r/cyberpunkgame split: third-person “ruins RP,” but “customization begs for it.”

Yet hype surges. “@RinoTheBouncer” (188K followers) vented: deep customs wasted in first-person.<post:102></post:102> Modders like “Third Person Extended” hit millions of downloads, proving demand. If true, Orion could lure GTA 6 defectors seeking cyber-edge, pricing at $70 with day-one Game Pass whispers.

CDPR’s silence? Strategic. Pawel Sasko dodged in July 2025: no third-person for 2077, focus sequel. But with Phantom Liberty sales at 35M units total, fan power sways. X erupts: “@Tarushdei” warns immersion shatter; “@iiamgtm” shrugs, “driving’s already third.”<post:24></post:24><post:27></post:27>

Orion’s Dogtown sequel? Chicago slums, reactive crowds (job ads boast “most realistic ever”), UE5 ray-tracing. Third-person could amplify: spectate chrome overloads, faction wars from afar.

Purists mourn: “@GlennHendriksen” notes cutscene overhauls needed.<post:29></post:29> “@AbsurdlyBlacque” rants: dress-up tourists kill soul – Berserker red haze loses punch afar.<post:33></post:33> Newbies cheer: post-TV boom (25M players) crave visuals.

Bet or bust? Leaks trace to Warsaw insiders via Discord, unverified but timestamped pre-Xbox showcase. CDPR’s Q3 2025: 400 devs by 2028, Polaris engine hybrid UE5. If flip’s real, expect The Game Awards tease – or shutdown.

War never changes, but views might. Third-person Orion: redemption or redline? CDPR, speak.
