Cyberpunk 2077 Gets A New Game Director

As reported by Gi.Biz, CD Projekt has announced Gabriel Amatangelo as Cyberpunk 2077's next game director. While previous game director Adam Badowski has stepped down, he'll remain at CD Projekt to focus on other projects, including the "RED 2.0" transition that's looking to see the studio develop multiple AAA titles at once.

Having joined CD Projekt in January 2020, Amatangelo was previously a creative director for Cyberpunk 2077. Before this, he was a known figure at BioWare, working as design director for Dragon Age: Inquisition's DLC, along lead designer duties on Star Wars: The Old Republic.
