Cyberpunk 2077's multiplayer may have gotten its first bit of concrete information.
Dataminers have uncovered a host of new modes that relate to multiplayer, according to DSOGaming.
Code related to Heists suggets that players may be able to choose from various character classes in a co-op mission-based game mode.
It also hints at multiplayer being P2P connections rather than on dedicated servers; it's important to understand that this could change in the future.
The game’s executable file has two distinct MP game modes. The first one is called Heists, whereas the second one is a simple Deathmatch.
Multiplayer Modes
Heists seem to function closer to standard single-player quest, along with dedicated functions with editor helper descriptions such as:
- Set Heist State
- Set spawn point tag that will be used to spawn new players during the mission
- Spawn tag: %s
