Cyberpunk 2 Sequel Details Revealed: CD Projekt Red Job Listing Hints at Major Change

New details about the highly anticipated Cyberpunk 2077 sequel, codenamed Project Orion, have surfaced online via an official CD Projekt Red job listing. The posting suggests a significant departure from the first game, steering the franchise in an unfamiliar direction for the studio. The listing seeks a Lead Environment Artist to work on 'a new open world game' with a focus on 'crafting unique and visually stunning environments'—a hint that the sequel may expand beyond Night City. This comes as CD Projekt Red continues to rebuild trust after Cyberpunk 2077's rocky launch, making the sequel a critical test of the studio's evolution. While no release window is confirmed, the job listing indicates development is ramping up, with the Boston-based team leading the project. Fans and industry watchers will be eager to see how the sequel balances innovation with the gritty, cyberpunk identity that defined the original. The next chapter could redefine what players expect from the franchise.
