Cyberpunk 2 Officially in Pre-Production at CD Projekt

CD Projekt has officially confirmed that the sequel to Cyberpunk 2077, now titled Cyberpunk 2, has entered pre-production. This was announced during the company’s latest financial report where it revealed that the expansion Phantom Liberty sold over 10 million copies. Currently, 96 developers are tasked with the project while the majority of the team's efforts (422) remain focused on The Witcher 4. The pre-production phase includes refining game concepts and planning the path towards full production. Although the release date is uncertain, estimates indicate that final development could take four to five years, potentially leading to a launch around late 2030 or early 2031. Cyberpunk creator Mike Pondsmith hinted at a new city in addition to Night City, describing it as a dystopian version of Chicago. Additionally, fans can look forward to a Cyberpunk animated project on Netflix, further expanding the franchise’s universe.

Players can expect to explore a brand new city alongside Night City, with a distinct aesthetic that diverges from the first game. The sequel promises to broaden the Cyberpunk universe while maintaining the core elements that fans love.

Cyberpunk 2077 initially launched in December 2020 and has since undergone numerous updates and expansions. The game's rich lore and immersive world have captured the attention of gamers, leading to the development of multiple spin-off projects, including the anime series Cyberpunk: Edgerunners. This extension of the franchise has further solidified its impact on gaming culture as interest continues to grow around the game's sequel.
