Gabe Amatangelo, director of the upcoming Cyberpunk 2077 sequel, recently shared insights into his evolving design philosophy at CD Projekt RED. As the studio manages multiple projects including Project Hadar and the next Witcher title, Amatangelo emphasizes a collaborative approach to development rather than strictly adhering to his initial vision.
The director aims to foster an environment where team members feel empowered to challenge established premises and propose superior solutions. By delegating decision-making to other directors who understand the project's core goals, he hopes to avoid production bottlenecks. This collaborative process extends to fundamental discussions about the definition of the cyberpunk genre itself.
Despite this openness, Amatangelo maintains oversight on critical elements. During the development of the Phantom Liberty expansion, he famously scrutinized the Dogtown entrance so thoroughly that staff dubbed the area the wall of Gabe. He remains committed to exploring themes of deshumanization and complex moral choices, drawing inspiration from his background in hardcore punk and the Ultima game series.
This management style reflects a shift from his previous work, prioritizing team input to shape the future of the Night City franchise. By encouraging internal debate, the studio seeks to move beyond simple binary moral choices, aiming instead for the nuanced, ambiguous decision-making that characterized his previous contributions to the series.
