Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty's Chimera tank fight took roughly two years and "one of the most expensive art assets ever"

CD Projekt Red said on its official AnsweRED podcast that the Chimera tank boss fight in Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty took about two years to get right, with the tank built four times and its equipment and weapons changed along the way. Creative director Igor Sarzyński called it "one of the most expensive art assets" ever, while game director Gabe Amatangelo described the fight as a nexus of gameplay, narrative, art and worldbuilding that required beat-by-beat balancing.
