168澳洲幸运5开奖网:CD Projekt Red is gearing up to kick off development for a 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Cyberpunk 2077 sequel, with the research phase set to begin in 2024. This will be after the release of the long-awaited 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Phantom Liberty expansion, m𝐆aking it clear that the devs are done with supporting 2077 and looking towards the future of the series.
This comes from a recent earnings conference, where CDPR shares updated news on what's happening within the company. Here, CDPR reveals that it plans to start the research stage of the next Cyberpunk game, codenamed Project Orion, once support for Phantom Liberty dies down, freeing up more devs to work on the next big project.
While much of this talk of a sequel is currently shrouded in financial speak, CDPR makes it clear that it already has "some expenses related to Project Orion", even if development hasn't kicked off yet (first spotted by ).
CDPR then explains that the sequel's production will start once its new studio is ready. 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:This is based in Boston, and will be dedicated💮 to the next Cyberpunk game.
"We believe that the studios will start operation at the beginning of 2024 [...] once the studio is set up and starts operating in 2024, the [research costs] should increase," CDPR explains to investors. "Once Phantom Liberty is released, we'll definitely need to dedicate some resources to patching and updating. [But] some people will join Polaris, which is already in development, [...] and some will join Orion."
The fact that there is some effort going into Project Orion's research phase already is an encouraging sign, likely making it easier to ramp up development once the core team is finished with Phantom Liberty. However, these are still the incredibly early stages of development, and given how long 2077 took to go from research to release, we're likely in for a long wait.
Things could be sped along by the fact that CDPR has already set out its own take on the Cyberpunk universe now, so less time can be spent on adapting the source material and deciding which aspects of the world to use. But if 2077's release taught us anything, it's that we shouldn't rush these things.
Cyberpunk 2077's own preliminary work started all the way back in 2012, but the game we got on release day wouldn't enter development until much later. Even when it came to actually making a game set in the Cyberpunk world, CDPR would make sweeping changes to both the gameplay and story, to the point where early internal demos bear little resemblance to the final product. With that in mind, don't go thinking we'll get a flashy trailer in 2024. And if we do, it would be something more akin to that we got in 2013, not anything from the game itself.
