Project Orion “is on a conceptual design level right now”…

The company said last September that Phantom Liberty would be the only expansion for Cyberpunk 2077, but that after its release, Project Orion would begin development at a new US-based studio called CD Projekt Red North America.

Phantom Liberty launched in late September, and during an investor presentation on Thursday, CD Projekt’s chief creative officer Adam Badowski touched on the status of Orion and the company’s plans for the game over the next year

This project is on a conceptual design level right now, and it’s going to be designed by a team of veterans who were responsible for fine-tuning Cyberpunk 2077 and designing Phantom Liberty,” he said.

“We’re going to work out of North America, Vancouver and Boston locations, team leadership are already there. And late in 2024, we’re going to work with teams comprising several dozen people, while as a target, half of the developers are going to work out of northern US and the other half out of Poland.”

Earlier in the presentation, CD Projekt CEO Adam Kiciński said Cyberpunk 2077 has now cleared 25 million sales since its December 2020 release, meaning it’s selling “far faster” than The Witcher 3 did following its release.

And chief financial officer Piotr Nielubowicz announced that the Phantom Liberty expansion sold three million copies in its first week of availability.

CD Projekt also said a live-action project based on Cyberpunk 2077 is currently in the early stages of development.

Cyberpunk 2 being handled by a new north aemrican arm of CDPR is the least encouraging thing ever … it’s not even proper CDPR making your game. Also abandoning red engine is a mistake … it’s probably a live service sequel

I agree but now I'm curious to see how it turns out. People talked shit and doubted Ghost of T because it wasn't a Japanese dev making the game and they did better than anyone could have and they are American. It's about the talent in the end.

Wait and see approach for me.

CP2077 has cringe writing. Good to hear a different team will be taking it on.

The official start of work on the sequel to CP 2077 is clearly suggested by "tweets" from CD Projekt's leading developers connected to the game, i.e. narrative director Igor Sarzynski and quest director Pawel Sasko.

In their entries, both men boasted that they had reached the office in Boston, the city where the new branch of CD Projekt is located, which, together with creators from Vancouver and Poland, will be responsible for the development of the Cyberpunk IP.

Will this one be actually finished and work well on consoles?

CP still looks rought on PS5 and it has no reason to. RDR2 is a MUCH bigger game, with more mechanics, dynamic events and random encounters. Still manages to look almost photo realistic at times.

We aren’t going to see this until the ps6. They are working on too much atm including the Witcher 1 remake, their multiplayer game the inevitable witcher2 remake, witcher4 and this. They announced cp2027 in like 2012 and they released it have finished in 2020 8 yrs later and it’s taken till last yr to final get it right and + development times have gotten longer and they didn’t have all these other side projects. Maybe this will release in 2030 at the earliest hopefully before WW3 reduces us all to ash which will give me enough time to finish the first game.

So, it should release in 5 years and be playable and feature complete in 10, then?
