Dubbed as “Project Orion,” the sequel holds a promise. The sequel is not just seen as a continuation but also something that will add to what the players already love. And now gamers have come upon the edge, just waiting to see what more can CD Projekt Red bring for them after the brilliant Phantom Liberty DLC
This impending sequel has now come under an intensely lit spotlight. What it holds for the fans, the direction it will take, and the experiences it aims to offer, only time will unveil. But for now, the mere announcement has set the gaming world abuzz.
CD Projekt Red’s about Cyberpunk Sequel
In an interview, game director Gabe Amatangelo explicitly stated, “2.0 and Phantom Liberty are the last big updates. We’ll do a little something more, but those are the last big ones.” This confirmation not only brings clarity but also ensures that the Cyberpunk narrative remains alive, albeit in a different form.
With the announcement of Project Orion in October 2022, CDPR has unequivocally signaled its intent to “prove the full power and potential of the Cyberpunk universe.” This sequel will push the edge of the game’s already-established boundaries and create a deeper narrative in this universe.
However, this endeavor does have its difficulties. After the announcement of the sequel, CDPR disclosed the setting up of a new studio in Boston, USA, named CD Projekt Red North America. CD Projekt VP and CFO, Piotr Nielubowicz, in an official statement, emphasized the ambitious nature of their plans.
He further articulated, “Our plans are certainly ambitious, and call for a great deal of work, dedication, and further growth.” And then continues on to say that this new studio will help them tap into North American talent.
Regarding timelines, CD Projekt Red has shown an astute sense of mystery. While they remain tight-lipped about Project Orion’s release date, a look back at Cyberpunk 2077’s decade-long development cycle suggests patience might be a virtue for expectant fans.
Fans’ optimistic reaction to the Cyberpunk 2077 sequel
The gaming community, known for its passion and commitment, has responded with enthusiasm. A wave of excitement has washed over the “Cyberpunk” fans, who are keenly awaiting. Following CD Projekt Red’s reveal of “Orion” as the codename for the next Cyberpunk installment, social media platforms brimmed with enthusiasm and anticipation.
Prominent figures in the gaming community, like Twitch streamer Cohh Carnage, voiced their hopes, he mentioned that the developers should take a lesson from Cyberpunk’s initial release. He also comments that the fans are still there so to make it count. This comment in itself shows that the fans are not only patient but also rooting for the development of the sequel.
In conclusion, the road ahead for CD Projekt Red and “Cyberpunk 2” seems paved with promise and high expectations. Only time will tell if “Project Orion” will eclipse its predecessor’s glory or carve its unique niche in the annals of gaming history.
