Codenamed ‘Project Orion’, the second installment in the Cyberpunk universe will be even more epic when it comes to the scale. The second offering will be helmed by CDPR North America, a new studio opening soon in Boston. The work on the sequel will begin following the completion of the upcoming Cyberpunk 2077 expansion called Phantom Liberty.
“Our plans are certainly ambitious, and call for a great deal of work, dedication and further growth,” said Piotr Nielubowicz, who is CDPR’s Vice President and CFO.

Netizens on social media wasted no time in expressing their reactions to this shocking and major announcement. Given the state of CP77 so far, despite the recent comeback, most of the fans still want the developers to take their full time to make ‘Project Orion’.
They seem to be excited, without a doubt, but don’t want a repetition of what happened during the initial launch of the first game. “Just please release it only when it’s ready” wrote one fan.

Do whatever you do, just don’t lie again. You have a talented team, and you mudded your reputation for an extra buck. Good luck on the next instalment

Just release it when it’s actually done and not when your investors want it released and you’re golden

Just make sure this one comes out when it's actually 100% ready. Cyberpunk Orion has the potential to be something special if you just improve upon what you had in Cyberpunk 2077. Don't waste it.
