While CD Projekt RED is currently focusing its forces on The Witcher IV, the first foundations for the Cyberpunk 2077 sequel, known as Project Orion, have already been laid. The studio remains discreet and development still appears to be at an early stage. In this context of waiting, the PC community continues to enrich Night City.
A mod recently released on NexusMods is attracting particular attention. Called Immersive First Person Camera – Extended, it corrects a detail often criticized since the game’s release: the strange sensation caused by the camera in first person view.
A more natural and immersive camera
In the standard version of Cyberpunk 2077, the FPS view sometimes gives the impression of being disconnected from your own body. By looking down, the player can only see a limited part of their avatar, which can break the immersion. Mod creator DigitalVixen explains the problem: “The game’s first-person view is cool, but it also makes you feel small. And you can’t see yourself well either. Using guns while aiming between your arms is just weird.”
A system reworked in depth
Immersive First Person Camera – Extended is about more than just visual adjustment. DigitalVixen details its ambition: “This mod aims to correct this in the most elegant way possible by providing a completely overhauled first-person camera system with fluid procedural movements, free view capabilities, and a robust tilt system that actually works when aiming.” The goal is to make every move more natural, more consistent with the character’s position, especially during shootouts. The modder adds: “This all happens seamlessly and you should only notice smoother, more immersive camera behavior.”
An improvement welcomed by the community
Available for free on PC via NexusMods, the mod is already receiving an enthusiastic reception. Several users call it a much-needed upgrade. Some comments even mention a major improvement over previous attempts to modify the camera.
A detail that the Orion project could integrate
If the Orion project still remains mysterious and probably several years away, this type of improvement poses a simple question: should the sequel natively integrate this type of comfort? Night City is already known for its immersion. Yet subtle adjustments like this can enhance the illusion of presence. While waiting for official news on the future of the license, the modding scene continues to enrich the experience. And for those who haven’t restarted Cyberpunk 2077 since its release, now might be a good time.
