I'm skeptical about it being non-party based simply because if they stick to CP2020 rules (more-or-less) no single character can do all the things you'll need.
In the Witcher series character skills were really only about different ways to approach combat. CP2077 will probably include a lot of combat but I seriously doubt it'll be a a combat focused game.
Cop - Always handy (maybe not essential but damn useful)
Corporate - Access to the folks that REALLY run the world of Cyberpunk (maybe not essential but damn useful)
Fixer - Access street-level info and black market equipment (will probably be handled by NPCs providing missions and equipment)
Media - Influence the working classes (probably not essential)
Netrunner - "Hacker"
Nomad - Combat and access to info/equipment from outside the city (maybe not essential but damn useful)
Rocker - Influence the masses (probably not essential)
Techie - Medic and/or electronics/mechanic (maybe not essential but damn useful)
Solo - Combat specialist
The could of course go the Elder Scrolls route and allow your character to become a demigod, max every skill in the game, but doubtful they'll go this route.
