Speaking to [URL='https://www.dualshockers.com/cyberpunk-2077-dev-explains-lack-of-new-game-plus/']DualShockers[/URL], Cyberpunk 2077 quest director and [URL='https://www.ign.com/articles/cyberpunk-2077-quest-director-emotional-about-resurgence']its sequel's associate game director Paweł Sasko[/URL] gave a somewhat vague explanation for why the now beloved role-playing game didn't receive New Game Plus in its more than three years of updates. "For us, it’s really important that when you have components in a game, they all work together and they all work well and they all make sense," Sasko said. "The thing is, Cyberpunk is very specific when it comes to its construction.

Sasko even admitted Cyberpunk 2077 was designed to be replayed, which would suggest this style of New Game Plus would work well. "It’s to be replayed.
