Cyberpunk 2077 Sequel Orion: Night City and a Twisted Chicago

CD Projekt's upcoming Cyberpunk 2077 sequel, codenamed Project Orion, is stirring excitement with new details revealed by creator Mike Pondsmith. While Pondsmith's involvement in the sequel is less hands-on than before, he's still engaged in reviewing scripts and offering feedback. A key highlight is the addition of a new city that complements Night City, described as having a vibe reminiscent of "Chicago gone wrong." The game's development is ongoing, with CD Projekt focused on expanding the Cyberpunk universe while also working on The Witcher 4 and planning for a Cyberpunk animation series on Netflix. As Project Orion remains in the concept phase, excitement builds over the potential of experiencing two distinct playable cities.

Players can expect the addition of a new city alongside Night City, with a unique atmosphere described as a dystopian version of Chicago. There will likely be expanded gameplay and story elements woven into both urban environments as the game develops.

Cyberpunk 2077 launched in December 2020, quickly becoming a cultural phenomenon despite initial criticisms. Set in a dystopian future, players navigate the intricate world of Night City, filled with corporations, cybernetic enhancements, and complex narratives. The game's success paved the way for expansions and new projects, including the recently announced Project Orion, promising to further explore the Cyberpunk universe.
