Cyberpunk 2077 Sequel To Feature Multiplayer, Job Listing Suggests

Expert Verified By

Multiplayer Would Be Huge For Cyberpunk 2077 Sequel!

Story Highlight
  • Cyberpunk 2077’s multiplayer mode was scrapped, which left fans disappointed.
  • A job listing suggests that the team could be bringing this mode to the sequel.
  • A mod is also being worked on that aims to bring multiplayer to the original game.

Cyberpunk 2077’s comeback will go down in history. Despite the disastrous launch, fans gave the studio a second chance, and CDPR did well to redeem itself. The game is now better than ever, but it is still missing a crucial element.

Fans were disappointed when CDPR cancelled the multiplayer element for the RPG. However, this may not be the case with the Cyberpunk 2077 sequel since a job listing via Game Rant suggests it could feature multiplayer.

Why it matters: The Cyberpunk 2077 universe has a lot of untapped potential. A multiplayer component could create a GTA Online-like experience in Night City.

CDPR is looking for a lead network programmer who will play a pivotal role in designing and implementing the network architecture and online systems. The person will also lead a team of engineers to ensure the multiplayer experience is seamless and robust.

Develop and optimize multiplayer systems, including matchmaking, and address challenges related to latency, bandwidth usage, and server performance.

It is important to note that CDPR’s Witcher multiplayer spin-off will feature multiplayer. However, this project is being developed by The Molasses Flood, a completely different team.

This job listing appears to be for a different project since it was not listed under The Molasses Flood’s section. CDPR’s website shows a completely different set of job listings for this particular studio.

Therefore, it implies that other projects, including Project Orion and The Witcher 4, will include multiplayer. Since CDPR has already discussed this possibility in the past, the former seems more likely.

It is also important to note that Cyberpunk 2077 was always supposed to come with a multiplayer component. This was later scrapped, so it seems fitting that CDPR would want to redeem itself and bring it to the sequel.

Anyhow, it may be best to keep expectations in check. CDPR has yet to confirm any details, so there’s no telling what may happen. If you want a glimpse of how multiplayer would look in Cyberpunk 2077, fans are working on a custom mod that looks quite promising.
