Once Cyberpunk 2077 worked out its oh-so-many kinks, it was a damn good game.
And more is on the way. CD Projekt Red said on Wednesday that its sequel has
moved into pre-production.

It wasn't a secret that a sequel was in the works. In 2022, CDPR shared a
roadmap describing "Project Orion." It would "further develop the potential
embodied by [the Cyberpunk 2077] universe." That's as clear as you can get
without using the word "sequel."

Now, CDPR is shedding the codename as development forges ahead. "Several
weeks ago, the CD Projekt Red team responsible for the next big game set in
the Cyberpunk universe completed the project's conceptual phase," the
publisher wrote. "As a result, Cyberpunk 2 ΓÇö previously known under the
codename Project Orion ΓÇö has progressed to pre-production."

Of course, entering pre-production is still a long way from something you can
play. Following the fiasco last time, expect CDPR to play it safe and take
more time with the final stages.

On a related note, CDPR said Phantom Liberty has sold 10 million copies. The
massive expansion launched on PC and consoles in late 2023. It's part of
Cyberpunk 2077: Ultimate Edition, which includes the base game and all the
DLC. That version arrived on PC and consoles in 2023. It will be heading to
Switch 2 and macOS soon.
