Cyberpunk sequel might buzz with multiplayer

Video game developer CD Projekt Red, known for their significant role in game titles like The Witcher and Cyberpunk 2077, is making headlines again with discussions around a potential multiplayer component in the upcoming sequel to their 2020 release, Cyberpunk 2077. The company's CEO Adam Badowski hinted to Reuters that multiplayer elements are under consideration for the sequel, currently in the concept development phase. As of now, specific details on these elements are yet to be disclosed. Additionally, the much-anticipated new The Witcher game, codenamed Polaris, is set to ramp up its development team to about 400 people by mid-year, building on an already substantial team of 320. Both projects are garnering significant interest and are likely to be major future pillars for CD Projekt Red.

Yes, CD Projekt Red is considering implementing multiplayer components in the sequel to Cyberpunk 2077, although the project is still in the early concept phase, so no specific details have been announced yet.

Cyberpunk 2077 itself was one of the most talked-about games in recent years, introduced with sky-high expectations due to the success of CD Projekt Red's previous title, The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt. Despite a rocky start marked by bugs and performance issues, especially on last-gen consoles, Cyberpunk 2077 has since seen significant patches and updates that have improved the overall player experience. The forthcoming sequel has a lot of anticipation attached to it, partly because of the polarizing launch of its predecessor. As the game is in the concept phase, the gaming community is eager to see if CD Projekt Red will follow through with the multiplayer aspects initially planned for the first installment, contributing to the evolving legacy of the Cyberpunk franchise.
