The Cyberpunk 2077 sequel finally makes it to preproduction

Once Cyberpunk 2077 worked out its oh-so-many kinks, it was a damn good game. And more is on the way. CD Projekt Red said on Wednesday that its sequel has moved into pre-production.

It wasn’t a secret that a sequel was in the works. In 2022, CDPR shared a roadmap describing “Project Orion.” It would “further develop the potential embodied by [the Cyberpunk 2077] universe.” That’s as clear as you can get without using the word “sequel.”

Now, CDPR is shedding the codename as development forges ahead. “Several weeks ago, the CD Projekt Red team responsible for the next big game set in the Cyberpunk universe completed the project’s conceptual phase,” the publisher wrote. “As a result, Cyberpunk 2 — previously known under the codename Project Orion — has progressed to pre-production.”

Of course, entering pre-production is still a long way from something you can play. Following the fiasco last time, expect CDPR to play it safe and take more time with the final stages.

On a related note, CDPR said Phantom Liberty has sold 10 million copies. The massive expansion launched on PC and consoles in late 2023. It’s part of Cyberpunk 2077: Ultimate Edition, which includes the base game and all the DLC. That version arrived on PC and consoles in 2023. It will be heading to Switch 2 and macOS soon.
