CD Projekt Red will establish a new studio based in North America, Boston specifically, in order to develop the sequel to Cyberpunk 2077 sequel, which is currently known by the code name Project Orion. This studio will be helmed by core members of Cyberpunk's development team, including quest director Paweł Sasko, who announced the move on Twitter.
It wouldn't be a true Cyberpunk sequel if it weren't announced many years in advance, giving hype enough time to build and allowing history a chance to repeat itself. CD Projekt Red also announced two new Witcher games are coming and that a new IP is also currently in development. Sounds like they are going to need the additional studio space!

@jrt87 Either way people will complain about CDPR being non transparent and transparent. I'm happy to see them being clear to us what games they are working on. If they aren't being pushed by upper management and aren't overpromising features and lying to our faces then I'm sure we can expect a better game. Honestly I hope the next game is still set in Night City but more redesigned and evolved. That way CDPR can actually focus more on the RPG aspects 2077 was incredibly lacking and polish up the gameplay.
I wish CDPR would do what Capcom have done with RE:Village and make Cyberpunk 3rd person.
Welcome to the States CDPR! I wish them good luck in their future endeavors with Cyberpunk but let's focus on Witcher 4 first yeah?
Seems a shame that they don't invest more in their home country and just grow the existing studio. I wonder if this hints at the possibility that they are struggling to find the relevant talent in Poland though and are having to look further afield?
Boston represent!!! CD Projeckt Red picking the best city in the USA to have their studio located. Couldn’t be any happier. Can’t wait to drive by there one day, hopefully soon! Good luck to the team. I hope it’s successful.
1.I am glad a 2077 sequel is happening. Best wishes to them with the new studio. But I won’t be waiting on the edge of my seat like I was for the original. For me, the end product ended up as a pretty mediocre game. I will wait for reviews before taking another plunge into that world.
2.I am much more interested in the continuation of Witcher, and I hope CD’s main focus is on that for a while.
earned enough money from us to emigrate huh
I realize that they are outsourcing these projects to various teams but wouldn't it have made more sense to only work on maybe two projects at a time and focus all those resources on those projects until completion? Then move on to the next couple games and focus those resources on the new games?
I don't get why they are doing this to themselves. Now they have to release a new witcher game every 2 years, if not, they lied again.
If they actually manage to do it, then great, but I highly doubt they will pull of 3 witcher games in 6 years, nex to a new IP and CP Sequel.
Prove me wrong, for your sake.
I would have expected them to release a ton of DLC like they did for The Witcher, but I guess they want to move on?
I see people complaining about announcing all of this too early, but it was announced on an investor call (by my understanding), and they’ve got to get those stock prices up or they go out of business (not to mention pay for everything they just announced). Damned if you do, damned if you don’t.
I enjoyed cyberpunk 2077 it was good not great but good
i would play another one
@badbob001 Rumor is that the next cyberpunk will be on Unreal 5 instead of Red Engine, so they probably figure it will be much easier to make all that DLC in Unreal. Probably adapt the DLC stories to fit with the new main story. 2078 is gonna have like 6 DLC expansions
darn, i was hoping that core members of the original team were being let go in favour of those with a better track record? i guess cdpr wants to repeat history with the sequel.
“… in order to develop the sequel to Cyberpunk 2077 sequel…”
So they will be making the third game? 😂
