CD Projekt's Cyberpunk 2077 sequel, codename Project Orionis a strict secret, but that didn't stop Cyberpunk creator Mike Pondsmith from laughing at some previously unknown details.
Pondsmith worked closely with CD Projekt on Cyberpunk 2077, which sold in 2077 and was involved in promoting the game before its 2020 launch, and was asked about his scope of involvement with Project Orion Digital Dragon 2025 Conference.
Replying that Pondsmith admitted he was not involved this time, but he did review the script and went to CD Projekt to check on the work ongoing.
“Last week, I was wandering around talking to different departments and seeing what they had, ‘Oh look, this is the new web software, what do you think?’ “Oh yeah, it’s good to work here. ” “
Then, the details on the sequel: In addition to the Night City we know from Cyberpunk 2077, it also has a brand new city. Pond Smith described the new city as “had something wrong like Chicago.”
I spent a lot of time talking to one of the environmental guys who was explaining the new place in Orion because we visited another city-I didn't tell you more, but we visited another city. We visited another city. And the night city is still there. But I remember watching it, yes, yes.
It is worth pointing out here that PondSmith's comments do not necessarily indicate that the Cyberpunk sequel will feature future Chicago, a city with a dystopian version of the city. This is likely to be a view of future Chicago, but this is not confirmed based on these comments.
About whether the Cyberpunk sequel will expand to the Night City in Cyberpunk 2077 or have a new version and how much it can be played. There are a lot of unknowns, but it looks like this sequel may have two fulfilling playable cities.
And CD Projekt's focus is now Wizard 4it set up a new studio in Boston to work on Project Orion. CD Projekt said earlier this year that 84 of its 707 employees are working on the Orion project, which is still in the conceptual stage. It will change to a large extent, and we expect the game to be a while.
There is also a new Cyberpunk animation project on Netflix after good Cyberpunk:Edgerunners. In the shorter semester, Cyberpunk 2077 will be launched on the Nintendo Switch 2.
