And following that tremendous success, developer CD Projekt Red has confirmed that a sequel, Cyberpunk 2, is now in the works.
Cyberpunk 2077 sequel: Project Orion explained
Project Orion is the in-house name for Cyberpunk 2077's sequel, Cyberpunk 2, and it is currently in pre-production, as a recent earnings report from developer CD Projekt Red confirmed.
Multiple major developers from the first game are confirmed to be working on Projekt Orion including narrative director Igor Sarzyński, game director Gabriel Amatangelo, associate game director Pawel Sasko,cinematic director Andrzej Stopa, environment art director Kacper Niepokólczycki, lead quest designer Sarah Grümmer and engineering director Kacper Kościeński.
As for the game itself, Cyberpunk will be maintaining its open world, but expanding on it, adding a second major city in addition to Night City from the first game, as original Cyberpunk TTRPG creator Mike Pondsmith shared in May 2025.
"If you in your story have made a certain choice and that's the way you have decided to go with your V and your partners and whoever else you met in the game, that's your story. It's important when making those decisions not to invalidate what players have been doing because it is their story and the decisions they made."
When could Cyberpunk 2 be released?
In a press release from February 2024, CD Projekt Red confirmed that the game as in the "early stages of development," which makes sense as the Phantom Liberty DLC only released in 2023.
If we look at The Witcher 4, the game they are currently focusing on, the game entered pre-production in 2022 and is currently on-course for a 2027 release – a gap of five years.
Of course, this is all just speculation, and given how successful Cyberpunk has proven, both as a game and an anime, we can expect the developers to put more resources into it this time around, so it may arrive sooner.
We would hope that we'll see a Cyberpunk sequel before the end of the decade, but perhaps this is just wishful thinking – we'll just have to wait and see!
