With the holiday season now behind us, folks are settling back to work, including theCD Projekt Redteam, who are kicking off the new year by kickstarting work on Project Orion, aka the sequel toCyberpunk 2077.
Tweets by Cyberpunk 2077’s narrative director Igor Sarzyński and quest director Paweł Sasko reveal that work on the next game in the dystopian sci-fi series has begun in earnest as the pair share their enthusiasm for what’s to come.
“So good to meet old friends and officially kickstart our Orion journey,” Sarzyński writes. “I couldn’t be more excited for this project and I’m sure we can make it something special.”
And seemingly, the team has big plans in store for the follow-up as Sarzyński finishes his post by describing the first game as “just a warm-up.”
Meanwhile, Sasko says that the core CD Projekt Red team got the year rolling with “exciting discussions” about the next Cyberpunk 2077 game. “Love this team and our dystopian IP!” they add.
Cyberpunk 2077’s one and only expansion,Phantom Liberty, launched in September last year and, according to its creators, hasperformed just as well as The Witcher 3’s Heart of Stone and Blood and Wine DLC, despite the lengthy gap between Cyberpunk 2077’s release and the expansion’s arrival, as well as the base game’snotoriously rocky launch.
CD Projekt Red has managed to turn things around in spectacular fashion, though, and its road to redemption culminated in not just Phantom Liberty but also the impressive2.0 Update, which adds a host of new features to the main game, including revamped perks and cyberware, and vehicular combat.
