- Cyberpunk 2077’s sequel, “Project Orion,” is currently in its development phase.
- Moreover, the game has sold 30 million copies, with the DLC Phantom Liberty selling 8 million copies as of last year.
- 12% of CDPR’s workforce is currently working on the sequel.
CDPR’s redemption journey with Cyberpunk 2077 was tough and harsh, but it paid well for the developer. Cyberpunk 2077’s 2.0 version birthed one of the best RPGs to date, with the studio managing to change the public’s entire perception of the game.
With the studio moving on from the first game, they’re fully working on the sequel. CDPR’s financial report for 2024 has revealed that the sequel, “Project Orion,” is now in its development stages.
Why it matters: The development stages are a much later process in a video game’s development, which implies that CDPR may have something to show regarding Project Orion after Witcher 4’s release.
Currently, 12% of the studio’s workforce is retained for the sequel, while 52% of employees are working on Witcher 4, which is speculated to be in its final stages of development.
After the release of Witcher 4, CDPR is expected to shift its entire focus on Project Orion.
Additionally, CDPR revealed that Cyberpunk 2077 has surpassed 30 million copies, with the DLC Phantom Liberty selling more than 8 million units.
The financial report also reveals that 62% of the game’s playerbase was on PC, 26% on PlayStation, and 12% on Xbox.
Moreover, CD Projekt Red’s net sales have declined by 20%, and operating profits are down by 22%. This could be due to the developer not releasing any project since Phantom Liberty.
Job postings revealed that the sequel will keep its first-person perspective and feature the most realistic and reactive NPC crowds to date. With such great results from the first entry and its DLC, the sequel looks ambitious and highly awaited.
