Description:
CD Projekt Red made some quite sobering remarks about Cyberpunk 2077's 
various endings.

FULL STORY
======================================================================

It turns out that post-game expansions for Cyberpunk 2077 were never on the 
cards, developer CD Projekt Red has confirmed. 

 Cyberpunk 2077's narrative director, Igor Sarzyski, told PC Gamer that the 
endings currently featured in the game should be considered final, with 
protagonist V's story having reached its conclusion. 

"We did consider a couple of other scenarios," Sarzyski says in regards to 
the development of the Phantom Liberty expansion . "But none of them were a 
continuation of the main game story. The endings are too diverse to have a 
single post-main story thread make sense for them alland you don't want to 
pick one and invalidate other people's choices." 

It's true that Cyberpunk 2077's endings - including the one added in the 
Phantom Liberty expansion, offer vastly different conclusions to V's story. 
It'd be a near-impossible task to tie all those possible threads together 
into a single outcome. 

Sarzyski added that the game's endings were designed to give players "an 
uneasy feeling, forcing them to think, not providing straight answers. They 
stick with you. No need to water them down. Sometimes less is more." 

He certainly isn't wrong about that. Without delving into spoiler territory, 
all of Cyberpunk 2077's endings are incredibly costly when it comes to V's 
future and the fates of those around them. At worst, they're soul-crushing; 
painfully bittersweet at best. I feel that tying them all up into a single 
canon good or bad outcome would definitely cheapen the impact they had. 

Plus, I like to imagine there's room for players to draw their own 
conclusions, considering V's future is sort of left open to interpretation in 
many of the game's endings. This is especially true for the additional 
conclusion made available after completing the Phantom Liberty expansion, 
should you make certain choices during its climax mission. Empty list 

 Since its rocky 2020 launch, Cyberpunk 2077 has evolved to become one of the 
best RPGs and best FPS games out there.
