Cyberpunk 2077 Sequel Aims To Retain The “Whole DNA” Of First Game
CD Projekt Red is starting to talk in high level terms about its planned Cyberpunk 2077 sequel, after wrapping up the original game with the ambitious and well-received Phantom Liberty expansion. Pawel Sasko, the associate director of the next Cyberpunk game, has spoken with Aftermath on how the team is approaching the sequel.
Known internally as Project Orion, the Cyberpunk sequel is still in very early stages of development, with a relatively small team spread across studios in Boston, Poland, and Vancouver. Sasko explained that many of the managers and directors who worked on Cyberpunk 2077 and Phantom Liberty are also on the new game, as well as some of the leads. “We want to make sure that whole DNA is preserved and still in the game,” he explained.
With the game in early development, it’s still unclear what the sequel will look like, but Sasko says he’s interested in expanding on the concept of reactivity that was more of a focus in Phantom Liberty, which he worked on as quest director.
