Gabriel Amatangelo will be Cyberpunk's 2077 new game director, GI.biz reports. He will replace former Cyberpunk director Adam Badowski, who remains with CD Projekt but will focus on other projects.
Amatangelo will be tasked with leading development on CD Projekt's upcoming expansions, which are currently in development. CD Projekt is also actively working on improving Cyberpunk 2077, even as modders are taking matters into their own hands.
Amatangelo was previously Cyberpunk 2077's creative director, where he was tasked with bringing the game's multiplayer to life. A BioWare veteran, Amatangelo worked on Star Wars: The Old Republic as a PvP designer and Dragon Age: Inquisition DLC.
Cyberpunk 2077 has not had an easy run, to say the least, particularly on base consoles. While tangible improvements have been released, it still remains very buggy. A next-gen release is currently planned for the second half of 2021.
