Following the massive success of the Phantom Liberty expansion and the 2.0 update, CD Projekt Red's newly formed Boston studio is officially ramping up full-scale production on Project Orion—the highly anticipated sequel to Cyberpunk 2077.

What We Know So Far

Information is scarce, but job listings and executive interviews have painted an exciting picture of what we can expect from the next trip to Night City.

• Unreal Engine 5: CDPR is completely abandoning their proprietary REDengine in favor of Epic's Unreal Engine 5 to streamline development and minimize the bugs that plagued the launch of the original game.
• Multiplayer Elements: While the core game will remain a narrative-driven single-player RPG, early design documents suggest some form of co-op or online social hubs are being tested.
• Expanded Lifepaths: Developers have stated a desire to make the player's origin choice matter significantly more throughout the entire campaign, rather than just the first 30 minutes.
