CDPR isn't saying what is or isn't accurate about the leaks. Standard policy. Maybe it's all true! Maybe none of it's true! Certainly the game isn't out yet so it's like Schrodinger's Game!
"Schrodinger's Game"
Cyberpunk 2077 will be both in 3rd and 1rst person.
Cyberpunk 2077 will have both retro and futuristic elements.

Also, CD Projekt Rich: Witcher 3 revenues total $250 million
Did not know they grossed a quarter billion US ( 1 billion polish) on that. Or, if I did, I didn't really clue in. Because AWESOME.
According to Forbes' 2013 Global 2000, these are the only Polish companies that appear in the world's 2000 richest companies in the world.
Global Rank | Company | Sales
($billion) | Profits
($billion) | Assets
($billion) | Market Value
($billion) |
580 | PKO Bank Polski | 5.7 | 1.2 | 62.3 | 13.8 |
651 | PKN Orlen (oil) | 38.8 | 0.8 | 16.9 | 7.4 |
681 | PGE (energy) | 9.4 | 1 | 18.8 | 10.5 |
766 | Grupa PZU (insurance) | 6.3 | 1 | 18.1 | 11.3 |
785 | KGHM Polska Miedz (coper and silver production) | 8.7 | 1.6 | 10.7 | 10.7 |
786 | Pgnig Group (gas company) | 8.8 | 0.7 | 15.5 | 11 |
1480 | Tauron Group (energy company) | 7.6 | 0.5 | 10.1 | 2.5 |
1826 | Grupa Lotos (oil company) | 10.2 | 0.3 | 6.5 | 1.8 |
The polish government gave 7 million to CDPR because they're valuable to the country, probably because they acchieved economic potential due to their big growth in a short period of time. But that success (Witcher 3) is only really confirmed if they're able to do it again, which they probably will.
But that's not he only reason related to the whole "7 million" thing, Cultural impact is another important factor, specially when you realise that none of those companies above are related to entertainment.
Even after all this time Witcher 3 is still making money. Games with general quality that create an emotional bond with players are also the games that withstand the test of time. Did you realise that it is mentioned in CDPR's mission/objectives and strategies their focus on their "franchises" , and also the fact that in most news regarding Witcher games CDPR refuses to talk about the witcher games individually and rather talk about them as a whole franchise? That's an economic stable strategy for long periods of time, in other words: CDPR values franchises more than individual games, but why? Because it is an unused strategy in the gaming industry, and innovation is just about doing something nobody does.
If nobody can create what you sell, then how are they going to compete with you?", almost no developer in the industry puts quality in their games, and if CDPR makes games with quality, then CDPR's games will get attention from players all around the world.
