Exclusive Cyberpunk 2077 Insider Secrets That Will Leave Fans Begging for More

Highlights

The upcoming Cyberpunk 2077 sequel, currently known as "Project Orion," is still in the conceptual design stage and years away from release, according to CD Projekt Red.

After receiving significant backlash for its technical flaws, particularly on older consoles, Cyberpunk 2077 has undergone extensive bug fixes and improvements by CD Projekt Red. As a result, players are eagerly anticipating what the future holds for the game. Those who are fans can look forward to the sequel being crafted by skilled veterans who have previously worked on refining Cyberpunk 2077 and conceptualizing the Phantom Liberty expansion.

CD Projekt Red, the publisher and developer behind Cyberpunk 2077, has recently shared early details about the sequel to their ambitious action RPG. However, the timeline for the release of the sequel could leave some fans feeling disappointed. Despite its initial criticism upon release on current and last-generation consoles, CD Projekt Red has fulfilled many of their promises in addressing the game's numerous bugs. The successful launch of the Phantom Liberty DLC has generated excitement among fans for the upcoming installment in this new franchise.

It's an understatement to say that Cyberpunk 2077 made a rough first impression. The game was plagued with technical issues and underwhelming graphics, particularly on the PS4 and Xbox One versions, making it almost unplayable on older hardware. Although it initially performed well on high-end gaming PCs, the console versions were far from satisfactory. However, CD Projekt Red has been tirelessly working for years to rectify the situation with the base game. Now, with the release of the Cyberpunk 2077 2.0 update and the Phantom Liberty expansion, it seems that the game is finally delivering on its initial promises, reigniting the excitement among fans.

CD Projekt Red's chief creative officer, Adam Badowski, revealed new information about the highly-anticipated sequel to Cyberpunk 2077, codenamed "Project Orion," during an investor day presentation. Unfortunately, it seems that fans will have to wait several years for the game, as Badowski mentioned that it is still in the early stages of conceptual design. He also mentioned that the upcoming expansion, Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty, will be the final addition to the current game. Although specific details about Project Orion were scarce, Badowski assured investors that the development team consists of experienced professionals who were instrumental in fine-tuning the original game and designing Phantom Liberty. Rather than diving into specific game details, the focus was on discussing the franchise's future as a whole.

Content has already expanded into the realm of streaming with the Netflix anime Cyberpunk: Edgerunners. Although the RPG had a bumpy start with fans, Cyberpunk: Edgerunners garnered a highly positive response from critics and viewers right from the start. Needless to say, fans eagerly anticipate another season of this popular anime.

While waiting for more Cyberpunk 2077 content can be tiresome for gamers, it's astounding to look back just a few years ago when only a few players were interested in discussing a potential sequel. However, with all the updates and expansions that have brought the game closer to its initial promises, it's clear that the next installment in the Cyberpunk series can't come soon enough.

Project Orion is in development for unspecified platforms.
