Exciting News: Cyberpunk 2077 Sequel Enters Pre-Production, Potentially Titled Cyberpunk 2

Oh boy, so guess what? It’s Wednesday, and there’s some news buzzing — some pretty cool stuff, actually. Cyberpunk 2077 is getting a sequel! Yeah, they’ve kicked off the pre-production phase for Cyberpunk 2 — which used to be called Project Orion, but I guess they’ve ditched that. Why? Who knows, but hey, it happens.

So here’s the scoop: CD Projekt made this all official during their latest financial results chat. Congrats to them, seriously! And apparently, they’re also prepping to roll out the first Cyberpunk game on the Nintendo Switch 2. I mean, Switch and Cyberpunk? That’s a combo I didn’t see coming.

They put it out there in a release, mentioning how the team at CD Projekt Red finished the whole “conceptual phase.” Whatever that means exactly. But so now, it’s on to preproduction for Cyberpunk 2. Games take forever to make, don’t they?

Oh, and digging through their presentation, you can spot that by the end of April, 96 developers were plugging away on this new game. That number crept up from 84 in February, but it’s peanuts compared to the 422 people working on Witcher 4 around the same time. And let’s not even get started on the 131 devs in “shared services” doing who-knows-what across multiple games.

Speaking of reveals, their Phantom Liberty expansion hit 10 million copies sold — like, wow — and The Witcher 3 hit 60 million by its 10th birthday. Happy birthday, Witcher! Who knew monster hunting would get so popular?

Wondering if they’ll stick with the Cyberpunk 2 name? ‘Cause, you know, Cyberpunk 2077 had that catchy ring to it. Mike Pondsmith, the legendary guy behind the TTRPG, hinted at a city vibe “like Chicago gone wrong.” Intriguing, right? Let’s see where this rollercoaster goes.

Anyway, gotta run — wait, hold on, was I done? Yeah, I think I hit the main points. Cheers to more gaming madness!
