Exclusive Inside Look at Cyberpunk 2077 Sequel Development Progress by CD Projekt Red

For those eagerly anticipating news about the sequel to Cyberpunk 2077, there's reason to be excited - code-named Project Orion is expected to start development in 2024. Despite the game's rocky launch, CD Projekt Red has worked hard to improve the game's open-world experience with several major patches, making it one of the best current gen games on the market. As fans eagerly await the upcoming Phantom Liberty DLC, which is set to release soon, Cyberpunk 2077's initial launch in 2020 is quickly becoming a distant memory. While details about the follow-up project are scarce, fans can rest assured that CD Projekt Red is hard at work on the next installment of the popular franchise.

CD Projekt Red (CDPR) has announced that the sequel to Cyberpunk 2077 will enter its early stages of development in 2024, with some expenses already being allocated towards Project Orion and Project Hader, the codename for a new standalone IP. The initial stage, which includes research and development, is expected to be a lengthy process. CDPR appears to be focused on the successful launch of Phantom Liberty in 2023 before making any headway on additional games. While the sequel was announced in October 2022, very little is known about the project. However, given the negative response to Cyberpunk 2077's release in 2020, CDPR will undoubtedly be striving to avoid similar issues with the follow-up.

CD Projekt Red has a busy schedule ahead of them, with a new Cyberpunk game, a new Witcher saga, and an official remake of the first Witcher game on the horizon. While fans of the studio have plenty to be excited about, the tumultuous past couple of years may have left some feeling apprehensive. Cyberpunk 2077 is currently available on a variety of platforms, including PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
