Get Ready for Cyberpunk 2!

As we anxiously await the sequel to one of the most beloved games of our time, hints and clues about Cyberpunk 2077 2—also known as Cyberpunk 2 or Project Orion—are starting to surface.

Multiplayer Mania!

One of the most talked-about features is the potential for a significant multiplayer component in Cyberpunk 2. This revelation comes from a recent job listing by CD Projekt Red, which mentions the need for leading a team to develop and optimize multiplayer systems, including matchmaking and tackling challenges like latency and server performance.

With the original game’s focus on a single-player experience, the introduction of multiplayer should come as no surprise. Initially, there were grand plans for expansions and multiplayer modes in the first installment, but those ambitions were dashed following a rocky launch. Still, fans were treated to one fantastic DLC and numerous patches that salvaged the game.

Chasing the GTA Dream!

This move towards a multiplayer feature is strategic, especially as the gaming landscape has been dominated by titles like GTA Online, which has reportedly generated a staggering $500 million during peak years, totalling an estimated $2.5 to $3 billion over time. If Cyberpunk 2 can capture even a slice of that revenue, it could lead to substantial financial success.

Moreover, Cyberpunk 2077 stands out as one of the few games capable of creating a vibrant, sprawling world that rivals Grand Theft Auto. While the sequel won't likely abandon its single-player roots, it seems set to offer an enticing multiplayer option in a manner similar to how GTA Online operates alongside its main storyline.

What’s Next?

Although details about Cyberpunk 2 remain sparse, much of the current discourse revolves around the development team size and the future of the beloved franchise. For the moment, it appears that fans may need to stay patient as updates will likely shift back towards The Witcher 4 in the near term. Despite the lull, the excitement for Cyberpunk 2 continues to build!
