Exciting news for Cyberpunk 2077 fans as CD Projekt Red begins work on the game's sequel, Project Orion. The development team is buzzing with enthusiasm, thanks especially to the positive reception of the Phantom Liberty expansion. Quest Director Paweł Sasko and Narrative Director Igor Sarzyński announced the kick-off from their new Boston studio. Sasko also mentioned his ongoing involvement with the next Witcher game, codenamed Polaris. Despite the development of the sequel, players have ample time to explore Night City's update 2.1 metro system. Additionally, Adam Kiciński, CD Projekt Red's Chief Strategy Officer, dismissed rumors of the company being acquired. The sequel promises to be a thrilling addition to the Cyberpunk universe.

What can players expect from the sequel to Cyberpunk 2077?

Players can expect an ambitious follow-up to Cyberpunk 2077 with Project Orion potentially expanding on the rich, dystopian universe and enhancing the player experience that was established with the original game and its expansions. Detailed information is scarce, but the development team's energy and commitment to the project signal their aim to deliver something special.

Cyberpunk 2077 is set in a futuristic dystopian world called Night City, where players assume the role of V, a mercenary who acquires skills in hacking and machinery with options for melee and ranged combat. The game was initially released in 2020, but faced criticism for numerous bugs and performance issues, especially on last-gen consoles. However, successive patches and updates, like the Phantom Liberty expansion, substantially improved the game, redeeming its stature among fans and critics. CD Projekt Red's ambitious roadmap for Cyberpunk includes not just the sequel in Project Orion but also continued support for the original title, ensuring that Night City will offer many more stories to dive into.
