CD Projekt Red has remained fairly tight-lipped on its upcoming dystopian RPG Cyberpunk 2077 since it was announced all the way back in 2012, with gameplay details being drip-fed to the media in the form of teaser trailers and press releases.

Today however, users may have received a snippet of new information on the open world title via a newly added job listing on the Polish developer’s careers website.

CDPR, best known for being the creator of The Witcher series, is hiring a new vehicle gameplay programmer for its Warsaw studio. According to the job description, one of the role’s key responsibilities will include the creation of a “whole architecture of vehicle related code, and the physics of driving / flying in those vehicles”; primarily, we assume, for Cyberpunk 2077.

Meanwhile, the company is also hiring a number of gameplay designers for its Krakow-based studio, which “functions as a creatively independent studio working closely with the Warsaw team on its core properties including The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt and Cyberpunk 2077.”

Currently made up of two gameplay design staff, CD Projekt Red is looking to add up to four new team members, and says it is currently “expanding [the] studio and [wants] to double or even triple [its] size in a very short time.”

Cyberpunk 2077, which is loosely based on the Cyberpunk 2020 tabletop roleplaying game, is expected to release in 2018 for PS4, PC and Xbox One.
