Cyberpunk 2077 Sequel Officially in the Works: Project Orion Gets a Name

Night City's Future: Cyberpunk 2077 Sequel Officially Enters Pre-Production The gaming world buzzed with excitement this week following the announcement that the long-awaited sequel to Cyberpunk 2077 has officially entered pre-production. CD Projekt Red, the game's developer, confirmed the news via a tweet, revealing that the project, formerly known as "Project Orion," will now be titled "Cyberpunk 2." This marks a significant step forward for the game's development, signaling a clear direction for the future of the Cyberpunk universe. While the name "Cyberpunk 2" is currently provisional, it provides a more concrete identity for the project. The development team at CD Projekt Red has assigned 96 developers to the project, a modest but notable increase since February. This increase, however, is balanced by the studio's continued focus on the development of The Witcher 4, showcasing the company's commitment to both major franchises. Adding to the excitement, a new version of Cyberpunk 2077 will be released next week on the Nintendo Switch. This move will allow a wider audience of gamers to experience the world of Night City, increasing anticipation for the sequel. A representative from CD Projekt Red stated, "We are thrilled to be entering this next phase of development for Cyberpunk 2. We believe this project will be a significant addition to the Cyberpunk universe and look forward to sharing more updates with our fans in the future." The announcement has ignited a wave of discussion and speculation among gamers, creating a palpable sense of anticipation for the future of Cyberpunk 2.
