Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty may have been released earlier this year, but that doesn't mean developer CD Projekt Red is finished tinkering with things to make the game the best it can possibly be. One big complaint fans have had for quite a while is the difficulty of the Adam Smasher boss fight, as a lot of people think he goes down too easily for a man that's made of machinery and is one of Night City's most terrifying individuals.
Cyberpunk 2077 Sequel Project Orion Has a “Lot of Work” to be Done on Unreal Engine 5 – CD Projekt
14.11.2023 - 13:27 / gamingbolt.com / Pawel Sasko
With Cyberpunk 2077 receiving its last major update and the Phantom Liberty expansion, the development team at CD Projekt is focusing on its sequel, Project Orion. There is no release window, and it’s currently in the “conceptual design” stage on Unreal Engine 5.
In a new interview with The Neon Arcade (transcription via Rock Paper Shotgun), lead quest designer Pawel Sasko shared his thoughts on working with the engine. He noted that the team have been working on it “for quite some time already.” “There’s a lot of work to be done with the toolset specifically, and so on because there are so many, I would say, specific things that our RED engine was tailored for.
“So, of course, we need to make sure that all of that is built properly so that we can do the games exactly the way we want to. And you know, the work is ongoing here.” While he didn’t provide explicit details, Sasko said, “the advantages of Unreal are probably quite apparent.”
As for working with Epic Games, who owns Unreal Engine, Sasko said it’s challenging but also an opportunity to “do something awesome.” “Working together with Epic is a completely new thing for us, it’s a challenge for one thing, but also an honor. It’s a huge studio – they have an incredible amount of engineers, very seasoned engineers. So it’s something that we can also learn from.”
“I don’t understand the challenge as a difficulty, but more as an opportunity – I see so much space to actually do something awesome, so I’m looking forward to that, but there’s a lot of work to be done on that front.”
Stay tuned for more details and updates on Project Orion, though it will be a while. In the meantime, Cyberpunk 2077 is available on Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, PS4, PS5 and PC, though Update 2.0 and Phantom Liberty are exclusive to current-gen platforms. Check out our review for the latter, which sold three million copies in its first week.

Cyberpunk 2077 is getting an Ultimate Edition, which includes the latest version of the game, alongside the Phantom Liberty expansion.
