CD Projekt Red Is "Considering" Multiplayer In Cyberpunk 2077 Sequel
22.01.2024 - 14:59 / thegamer.com / Adam Badowski
Cyberpunk 2077's sequel, codenamed Orion, could have a multiplayer component. In a recent interview, CD Projekt Red CEO Michał Nowakowski confirmed that the studio is still "considering" multiplayer for the sequel, adding an element that never made it into the first game.
Nowakowski, along with join-CEO Adam Badowski, also confirms that the next Cyberpunk game is in the conceptual stage, so we're still far off from getting a look at whatever CD Projekt Red is working on. Still, with this being just the latest time that multiplayer has been mentioned alongside the next Cyberpunk, it's looking increasingly likely that the game won't just be a single-player experience.
Nowakowski and Badowski's comments come in an interview with Reuters, in which the company heads shed some light on upcoming projects. While the next Cyberpunk won't be with us anytime soon, the team is feeling confident going into development, with Badowski saying, "We believe that in the future we'll avoid a premiere like the one we faced with Cyberpunk 2077."
Of course, it's only in the conceptual stage right now, so there's no telling when we'll get a look at what CDPR is working on - or if this multiplayer component will see the light of day after all. However, as a developer recently commented, Cyberpunk 2077 was just a "warm-up" for the sequel, so the studio seems eager to expand on its predecessor.
A popular fan theory is that the next Cyberpunk game will be set in Chicago, based on an apparent clue found in Cyberpunk 2077.
Meanwhile, Badowski also spoke about the next Witcher game. He says that he hopes it will enter production in the middle of this year, with 400 developers working on the project. This heavily suggests that this is CDPR's main focus right now, even if it does have some devs dedicated to the future of Cyberpunk. Which makes sense, since we haven't had a proper Witcher game since 2015 now.
In any case, ongoing development on Cyberpunk 2077 has more or less come to an end, with no more new features planned for the game. It seems that more than three years post-launch, the studio is finally happy with the state of the game, and is ready to call it a day. The final update gave us some fan favourite request too, like the ability to ride the metro, and a portable radio.

Night City and 's slang, however, were not created by developer CD Projekt Red. Both predate the video game by some time, and have their roots in the wider franchise, so understanding the meaning and prevalence of the slang term choom requires a bit of background.
