Cyberpunk 2077 had a great reception when it arrived in 2020. Unfortunately, the action role-playing title also had many bugs which pissed off fans and led to much criticism. CD Projekt Red, the game's developer, has tried to fix these bugs as best as it can over the years with updates. However, after the newly released update 2.0, the studio has decided to move on from the title and begin work on a sequel.
CD Projekt Red's game director Gabe Amatangelo broke this news during a recent interview with PC Gamer. Amatangelo confirmed that the latest update as well as the recently released Phantom Liberty expansion are the last big upgrades that are coming to the title. Then, he said that his team is working on a sequel with a tentative title of Cyberpunk 2 or Orion.
In his words, "2.0 and Phantom Liberty are the last big updates. We'll do a little something more, but those are the last big ones."
Amatangelo's PC Gamer interview isn't the first we will hear of a Cyberpunk 2077 sequel. That honor belongs to CD Projekt Red's long-term video strategy that came to light late last year. In the video, the studio announced it's working on a sequel that's codenamed Project Orion similar to what Amatangelo revealed.
