Although probably still very far away, Cyberpunk 2 is making waves again. Despite small numbers, the 2077 sequel appears to be in extremely capable hands.
In any case, this is what Paweł Sasko indicated in an interview with Aftermath. The man held the position of quest director on Cyberpunk 2077 at CD Projekt RED and now serves as associate director on Cyberpunk 2.

We take the same ones and do even better on Cyberpunk 2
That's more or less what we can take away from the new information that Paweł Sasko shared regarding Cyberpunk 2. The sequel to 2077 and Phantom Liberty is still in a very early state of development. That being said, the people working on this embryo are already well established. They actively participated in the development of the DLC for the first opus.
“ Most of the managers and directors who worked on 2077 and Phantom Liberty are currently on Cyberpunk 2 », added Paweł Sasko. He also emphasized an element that should certainly reassure fans of the first game. It's important to keep as many members of the original team as possible. We want to ensure that the DNA of the first game is preserved in its sequel “. Most of the work having already been done on 2077, the team could thus give itself the means to achieve visibly very large ambitions. We'll see what happens when the time comes. And this a priori without crunch, according to Paweł Sasko.
The Witcher 4 remains CD Projekt RED's top priority
The release of Cyberpunk 2, however, seems very distant for the moment. Most of CD Projekt RED's attention is in fact focused on The Witcher 4. Some former Cyberpunk 2077 developers are currently working on this new saga. According to the latest figures from the Polish studio, this sequel occupies 64% of its workforce. Paweł Sasko even indicates that the new opus of the flagship license is the subject of a “ intense work “.
The way things are going, The Witcher 4 could also enter production later this year. Despite this, this new saga in the universe of Geralt of Rivia will probably not be released for a few years. So let's hope that fans waiting for Cyberpunk 2 won't have to wait until the year 2077.
