Cyberpunk 2077 was “just a warm up”, CD Projekt says as work begins on sequel

CD Projekt’s Cyberpunk series has plenty of momentum built up following the release of the stellar Phantom Liberty expansion, and it certainly seems to have given CD Projekt’s devs a pep in their step as they kick off 2024 by getting to work on Cyberpunk 2077’s sequel.

If the follow-up, codenamed Project Orion, can re-capture the magic that led just over five million mercs to head for Dogtown over the latter half of 2023, it’ll have a great chance to be a rip-roaring success. We already knew CDPR had high hopes for the game, and it seems those working on it are equally keen to try and take Cyberpunk to new heights.

In a pair of tweets, Cyberpunk 2077’s quest director Paweł Sasko and narrative director Igor Sarzyński confirmed that they’ve officially kicked off work on the sequel at the new Boston studio the former revealed last year would serve as the base for the team creating the game.
