Got high hopes for Cyberpunk 2077's sequel? CD Projekt wants it to put the games on a Witcher-esque trajectory

CD Projekt is aiming to try and mirror the incredible transformation seen across its Witcher games with its follow-up to Cyberpunk 2077.
This is according to CD Projekt Red narrative director Igor Sarzyński, who told PC Gamer that, when it comes to working on Cyberpunk’s sequel, the studio’s collective aim is to emulate the kind of progression that’s visible across the fantasy series that put it on the map. “Consider The Witcher games and how much they changed with each instalment,” said Sarzyński, “We want a similar evolution here.”
The developer went on to explain that as CDPR’s first attempt at realising the vision of a new IP — with fresh elements in terms of gameplay, writing and art that marked a bit of a departure from what it had previously pulled off in other titles — the first Cyberpunk game was always going to serve as a bit of a proving ground.
Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2 will feature a Cyberpunk-esque fully-voiced protagonist
If Halloween wish-lists were a thing, then news about Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2 would likely have been what many of us wrote about in our letters to Santa Pumpkin. And even though I just made him up, maybe he really does exist after all, because that's exactly what we just got: a surprise stream granting a first-look at the narrative and RPG elements of one of gaming's most long-awaited sequels.
The 18 minute video, which you can watch below, is the first proper look we've had at the resurrected Bloodlines 2 since The Chinese Room — the indie studio behind Amnesia: A Machine For Pigs and Everybody's Gone To The Rapture — were announced as the game's new developers back in early September.
Bloodlines 2 is a sequel to the 2004 PC game Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines, a cult classic which is still intensely popular after nearly two decades, despite its infamously troubled production and launch. It's a testament to the quality of the writing and world-building that many players — myself included — still count it among the all-time greatest video games, even though you famously need to mod the living hell out of the thing to get it to run smoothly.
CD Projekt wants the Cyberpunk series to experience 'a similar evolution' to The Witcher games
s troubled as Cyberpunk 2077 was at launch, it's remarkable to think back to what a CD Projekt Red game looked like just 12 years before. The first Witcher game is almost comically rudimentary next to the lavishly motion captured, ray traced first-person world of Cyberpunk. But it was fun, with a fantasy setting that felt different to other RPGs I'd played at the time. The graphical leap in 2011's The Witcher 2 was nothing short of stunning, and the quality of the sidequests in The Witcher 3's massive open world made CD Projekt my favorite RPG developer just four years later. I'm thinking about that progression now that CD Projekt is moving on to work on Cyberpunk 2077's sequel—and so are the developers...
