Cyberpunk 2077 Sequel Will Target Photorealistic Graphics

Expert Verified By

CDPR Will Continue To Focus On Graphics!

Story Highlights
  • A new job listing suggests that Cyberpunk 2077 will feature photorealistic graphics.
  • The game will be released on a new generation of consoles and PCs, making this target more achievable.
  • The sequel also reportedly merges film and game for a more cinematic experience.

Cyberpunk 2077 was among the most controversial releases in recent years. It was announced in 2012 and only managed to be released in 2020, that too as a buggy mess.

However, CDPR turned things around and delivered the promised experience with the 2.0 update and the Phantom Liberty DLC. They are promising even bigger things with the sequel, as it reportedly targets photorealistic graphics.

Why it matters: CDPR has always made technologically advanced games despite their scope. Cyberpunk 2077 already looks great, and with all the work they are putting into Unreal Engine 5, the sequel could achieve the target.

CDPR is hiring a senior environment artist for Project Orion

Cyberpunk 2077 looks impressive to this day. But, instead of being photorealistic, it takes a slightly different approach towards visuals. With the addition of path tracing and different mods, however, it does come close to offering photorealism.

CDPR has released a new job listing to hire a Senior Environment Artist. The listing states that the individual will be responsible for helping Project Orion have high-quality and photorealistic graphics using different tools.

This also aligns with the previous rumors that the studio wants the sequel to be more cinematic. It was claimed that the game would merge film with game, which is starting to become a trend in the industry.

Not too long ago, Hellblade 2 showed the potential of aiming for photorealism. 

Cyberpunk 2077 Phantom Liberty
Cyberpunk 2077 is already one of the best-looking games.

It is also important to note that Project Orion is currently in the concept stage. Therefore, it will probably launch on a completely new generation of hardware, making the possibility of photorealism more likely.

The Witcher 4 is up next from CDPR, but even that RPG hasn’t entered production yet.

CDPR also ensured fans that they wouldn’t repeat Cyberpunk 2077’s mistakes with the sequel. Considering the quality we have seen from the studio recently, we believe they will come up with something great for the sequel.
