Cyberpunk 2077’s Creative Director Has Started Working with Blizzard
This news is a little surprising considering that the current game in development is the futuristic RPGCyberpunk 2077which is still awaiting a release date. Sebastian Stępień has worked withCD Projekt Redfor over 12 years, previously working onThe Witcher 3as well as The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings. While it isn’t clear what he is working on with Blizzard, he still holds the same position as Creative Director. While working on the Witcher series and Cyberpunk 2077, he not only contributed as a dialogue writer but as narrative director, story designer and creative director. This news might mean that Cyperpunk 2077 is nearing completion, but no official announcements have been about this so far.
In a post on the message boardResetEra, a user posted Stępień’s LinkedIn profile that now says he has joined Blizzard working on an unnamed project. If you look at Blizzard’s current portfolio of games, where Stępień would fit in best, it would most likely be on a Diablo project possiblyDiablo 4, as the developer had mentioned last year thatmultiple projects were in the worksandmore to be revealed in 2019. Blizzard at this time has not announced what Stępień would be working on.
