Like The Witcher 3 and CD Projekt Red's other games, Cyberpunk 2077 will have multiple difficulty settings. One of them is Hardcore, and it sounds intense.

CD Projekt Red's Alvin Liu told wccftech that Cyberpunk 2077's Hardcore mode turns off the UI. "That will be a real challenge for a lot of players," Liu said.

Now Playing: Cyberpunk 2077 Hardcore Difficulty Has No UI - GS News Update

On the other end, Cyberpunk 2077 will have difficulty options that cater to players who are less familiar with shooter games. Ensuring that Cyberpunk 2077 accommodates those players was a "real big concern" for the developer, Liu said.

"We want to tell a story and maybe you're a big fan of The Witcher and you're not comfortable playing a shooter, we have settings available for that," Liu said. "We even have weapons for that. "

One of those weapons is the "smart gun," and it helps you aim, Liu said.

Cyberpunk 2077 releases on April 16, 2020 for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC. The game features The Matrix actor Keanu Reeves in a big role, and it was recently revealed that the actor could have appeared in Hideo Kojima's Death Stranding.
