CD Projekt RED has announced that preproduction has kicked off on the Cyberpunk 2077 sequel, which was previously known as Project Orion.
The studio confirmed the news in a statement accompanying its Q1 2025 financial report, where it revealed that preproduction on Cyberpunk 2, as it is now referring to the game as, kicked off several weeks ago.
Several weeks ago the CD Projekt Red team responsible for the next big game set in the Cyberpunk universe completed the project’s conceptual phase. As a result, Cyberpunk 2 – previously known under the codename Project Orion – has progressed to preproduction.

Elsewhere, CDPR revealed that Phantom Liberty, the expansion to Cyberpunk 2077, has sold over 10 million copies worldwide. Cyberpunk 2077 is set to launch for the Nintendo Switch 2 alongside Phantom Liberty on June 5, 2025. Cyberpunk mastermind Mike Pondsmith recently teased that players will be visiting a new city in Cyberpunk 2077’s sequel, although didn’t go into any details at the time.
The Cyberpunk 2077 sequel has yet to attract a release date, but given it’s only just entered preproduction we’ll probably end up playing it on the PS6.
