CD Projekt Red may be teasing the location for 's sequel — currently codenamed Project Orion — and potentially the year it's set in. If so, the sequel could take place in a futuristic version of a real-world location, being a departure from 's completely fictional Night City.
Project Orion was first announced in 2022 as a part of CD Projekt Red's long-term strategy update, and many developers have moved on from working on to focus on its sequel and the upcoming game.
