Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty's Chimera tank boss fight took two years of "reiterating over and over"

CD Projekt Red said on the AnsweRED Podcast that the Chimera tank boss fight in Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty took two years of repeated iteration to get right. Art director Paweł Mielniczuk said the tank was made four times with changing equipment and weapons, and creative director Igor Sarzyński called it "one of the most expensive art assets I think ever." Game director Gabe Amatangelo described the fight as a nexus of gameplay, narrative, art and worldbuilding that required striking a balance.
