If you were still hoping for secret updates after the game was added to Xbox Game Pass, alas, those rumors have now been officially debunked. The studio is transferring all its colossal resources to the future of the franchise.
"Cyberpunk 2": Darker, tighter and with multiplayer
Now it's official: the project, codenamed Project Orion, has been called Cyberpunk 2. The game has already left the concept stage and is in active pre-production at CDPR's North American offices.
Change of scenery:Night City remains a thing of the past. Universe creator Michael Pondsmith and the developers hint that the action will move to Chicago. But don't expect hospitality: this is "Chicago Where Everything Gone Wrong." An even darker and more “claustrophobic” city awaits us.
Network mode: Remember how in 2020 we were promised multiplayer, but canceled it to save the single player? In Cyberpunk 2 multiplayer capabilities are laid in the foundation from the very beginning of development.
Point in the original: The Phantom Liberty expansion was the last one. There will be no more expansions or content for the first part - only rare technical support as needed.
Anime Returns: Edgerunners Season 2
Studio Trigger fans, rejoice! The start of production on the second season of Cyberpunk: Edgerunners has been officially confirmed. We are waiting for 10 new episodes on Netflix, but with an important nuance: it will be a completely new story with a completely new cast.
