GamesIndustry reports that "Cyberpunk 2077" has a new game director, Gabriel Amatangelo, who joined the studio as creative director in January 2020.

Amatangelo succeeds Adam Badowski, who is also the studio head of CD Projekt Red. The change will allow Badowski to focus more on the position, which appears to be a higher priority now that the studio is transitioning to a multi-game development strategy.

Amatangelo will also have his hands full. Cyberpunk 2077 was in rough shape at launch and has remained so despite the release of multiple patches in the months since. But CD Projekt remains committed to the game: plans for multiplayer have changed, but co-CEO Adam Kiciński said in April that the studio is "confident we can bring the game to a state we can be proud of." The DLC update scheduled for earlier this year was postponed so that the company could focus on fixing the game, but he promised that the update would continue to be made as well.

The current development roadmap looks like this:

Prior to joining CD Projekt, he worked at BioWare, where he was design director for the Dragon Age: Inquisition DLCs Trespasser and Jaws of Hakkon. He also worked on expansions for Star Wars: The Old Republic, Rise of the Hutt Cartel, and Galactic Starfighter.

It was also reported that Mateusz Tomaszkiewicz, Quest Director on Cyberpunk 2077, has stepped down and left the studio; we have reached out to CD Projekt for comment and will update if we hear back.
