Multiplayer details for Cyberpunk 2077 have reportedly been leaked by dataminers. As pointed out by DSOGaming, an anonymous dataminer has accessed the game’s executable file and dug up a whole bunch of information which suggests that Cyberpunk 2077 will have a Heists mode, as well as a deathmatch mode. As mentioned earlier, this information can be found in the executable file, so you’ll be able to verify it for yourself.
The Heists mode seems to resemble a single player quest mode which will require some sort of teamwork, like GTA Online missions. It contains dedicated functions and editor helper descriptions like Set Heist State, Set spawn point tag that will be used to spawn new players during the mission, and Spawn tag: %s.
While the Deathmatch mode wouldn’t stray too far from what we traditionally understand it to be, the multiplayer functions for the mode reveal interesting wording like, “You sent yourself directly to hell! Please don’t come back, Wow! You killed yourself… Bravo, and Your bullet was stronger than your self-esteem.” Looks like the deathmatch mode isn’t going to let you off easily if you end up being responsible for your own in-game death.
DSOGaming further mentioned the current state of the executable file suggests that Cyberpunk 2077’s multiplayer mode may rely on P2P connections rather than having dedicated servers. It must be noted that just because the executable file currently suggests all this information, it doesn’t mean that it will be available when the multiplayer is finally out. After everything that CD Projekt Red has been through recently, it only seems probable that the developer will be considering changes to most parts of the game.
Back in November, CD Projekt Red president and co-CEO, Adam Kicinski, suggested that Cyberpunk 2077’s multiplayer mode will be a huge, standalone project. “It’s a separate dedicated production, a big production and we plan — we think about it as a standalone product. Obviously, it’s not entirely standalone as it comes from the universe of Cyberpunk and is very much related to the concept of single-player Cyberpunk we – I came up with. But from our perspective, it – is another independent production and independent team of people works on it,” said Kicinski.
