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

Sure thing! Get ready for a ride—

Alright, so here’s some wild news I tripped over on a Wednesday. Cyberpunk 2077’s sequel is not just an idea floating around; it’s actually moving into the pre-production phase. Yep, CD Projekt gave a nod to this in their latest financial spiel. Oddly enough, it’s ditched that whole “Project Orion” mystery name. Now it’s just… Cyberpunk 2. Snappy, right?

They kinda just slid this announcement in during their financial briefing. Congrats to the team hitting this marker! Like, here’s a cookie, now go make us another mega-hit. Oh, and they’re all set to drop the first game in the series on Nintendo Switch 2, by the way. Can you imagine playing it while waiting for your coffee? Anyway—wait, did I sidetrack?

Okay, here’s a funny bit I stumbled upon in their release (I was supposed to be looking at pie charts or whatever, but shiny stuff distracts me). The team working on Cyberpunk 2 got through the conceptual phase. Yay! Now they’re diving into preproduction. Woo!

I skimmed over their full presentation—kinda like a cat pawing at a curtain—and noticed there are 96 devs tinkering with Cyberpunk 2 as of April 30. Back in February, there were 84. So, yeah, they’re ramping up! Still, when you think about it, it’s peanuts compared to the 422 folks deep into The Witcher 4. That’s not even counting the 131 roaming around in the “shared services” section doing wizardry like localization. Whatever that even means.

Oh, oh, did I mention this happened alongside Phantom Liberty expansion selling a whopping 10 million copies? Witcher 3 is chilling at the 60 million mark as it hits its 10-year milestone. I mean, what’s the word for more than a boatload?

A little musing here: Will they stick with Cyberpunk 2 as the final title? Personally, I like a year tagged on—makes it feel more grounded or something. Legendary tabletop RPG guy Mike Pondsmith hinted at a city setting. Imagine Chicago if it really went off the rails.

And there you have it. My brain’s a bit scattered, but hey, it’s got character. Let’s see where this Cyberpunk journey takes us next!
