CD Projekt Red 曾称《赛博朋克2077》无法第三人称，但 Immersive Third-Person Mod 显示并非如此

Following the release of the three first entries in The Witcher series, CD Projekt Red wanted to do something different with Cyberpunk 2077, making it a first-person game that the team believed would have never worked in third person, as it would lose the immersive impact that defines the experience. Almost 6 years after release, however, the latest updates to the Immersive Third-Person Mod show otherwise.

"This mod adds a third-person perspective with animations fixes, it also dynamically switch perspective depending on the situation," reads the official description of the mod developed by CybrDrake on Nexus Mods. "First-person and third-person animations are completely isolated from each other. This means you can switch back to first person at any time and get the full vanilla experience, while third person uses its own custom animations. You may find the third-person animations similar to other games, that's because they are," the description continues, highlighting a similar implementation as games like The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, Fallout 3, Fallout 4, and Starfield.

While the mod was released last month, it's the latest improvements in version 2.0.0 that completely turn the experience around, and make Cyberpunk 2077 work great in third person. These include a complete custom animation set for male V, new animations for female V, an auto vault option while sprinting, head tracking for NPC conversation, English language lip-syncing, and more. All of these improvements make the vast majority of world interaction work properly, thus making it possible to enjoy the full game in third-person, combat excluded for obvious reasons.

As many have been turned off by Cyberpunk 2077 not offering a third-person camera option, the current state of the Immersive Third-Person Mod will allow these players to enjoy one of CD Projekt Red's best games to date. And with how active the modding scene continues to be, I wouldn't be surprised to see more mods that turn the game upside down to offer something more beyond the vanilla game ahead of the launch of the sequel.
