After a rough launch marred by bugs, performance issues, and even some class-action lawsuits, Cyberpunk 2077 managed to claw its way back into gamer’s good graces. CD Projekt Red has put plenty of tender love and care into the title since its release in 2020, but in a new interview with Game File, Cyberpunk 2077‘s co-director Gabriel Amatangelo claims that the sci-fi RPG is now effectively complete.
“We’re done,” Amatangelo said. “[But] it’s possible that there’s some other little thing that comes in here or there, just because, as you’re kind of messing around with stuff, sometimes you discover something that is not a high risk. Or it’s easy to integrate. Or, you know, some developers have some bandwidth.”
In October 2023, CD Projekt Red announced that a sequel to Cyberpunk 2077 was underway. Dubbed Project Orion for now, the game is largely being developed at the CD Projekt Red’s new studio in Boston. According to Amatangelo, this was done to attract new talent unwilling to move to Europe. He also noted that Boston has a bit of a European feel, making it easier for those from the main studio to visit and work when need be.
Familiar faces joining Project Orion include Ryan Barnard, a former game director for Massive Entertainment, and Dan Hernberg, the former head of production at Amazon Games.
The company has also begun work on The Witcher 4.
Cyberpunk 2077 is available on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, and PC. A sequel codenamed Project Orion is currently in development and was announced in 2022. No release window has been confirmed.
