CD Projekt Red CEO’s recent comments suggest that Cyberpunk 2077’s sequel will take at least 4-5 years to release.
Don’t Expect Cyberpunk 2077’s Sequel Until 2030 or Later
As spotted by GamesRadar, CD Projekt Red’s co-CEO, Michał Nowakowski, spoke about Cyberpunk 2077’s sequel, or now Cyberpunk 2’s, release window during a Q&A segment of the latest earnings call. Nowakowski was asked whether Cyberpunk 2’s release will follow The Witcher 4’s pattern, which started pre-production in 2022 and is expected to be released in 2027.
Nowakowski replied that the studio usually takes “four to five years on average” to progress from the pre-production phase to the “final release date.” However, there are “many variables” that can change the final release window; hence, he will not talk about any “specific years.”
During the same earnings call, CDPR confirmed that Cyberpunk 2 has entered its pre-production phase. Recently, we also learned from the original creator of the Cyberpunk universe that the sequel will have another city apart from Night City, which is inspired by a ‘Chicago Gone Wrong’ setting. Additionally, the developers are working on the most realistic and reactive crowd system yet for the upcoming title.
