Cyberpunk 2077 has been reborn with the release of Phantom Liberty. With the expansion now out, CD Projekt Red is turning its attention to a sequel.
The studio held an investor presentation last Thursday and gave updates about the sequel. CDPR's chief creative officer, Adam Badowski, briefly discussed the status of the sequel, known internally as Project Orion, and the company's plans for Cyberpunk over the next year. Badowski confirmed during the presentation that Project Orion is now in early development.
"This project is on a conceptual design level right now, and it's going to be designed by a team of veterans who were responsible for fine-tuning Cyberpunk 2077 and designing Phantom Liberty," Badowski said.
He adds, "We're going to work out of North America, Vancouver, and Boston locations, team leadership are already there. And late in 2024, we're going to work with teams comprising several dozen people, while as a target, half of the developers are going to work out of northern US and the other half out of Poland."
