Sound the "it's happening" klaxon, folks, because it's happening: CD Projekt announced today that Cyberpunk 2—which, by the way, the studio is now calling Cyberpunk 2 instead of Project Orion—is now in the "pre-production phase" of development.
It's not the biggest surprise of the year—we've known since 2023 that a new Cyberpunk game is in the works from a new Boston branch of CDPR, after all—and "pre-production" is still very early on in the process. Even so, CD Projekt chief financial officer Piotr Nielubowicz said it's a pretty big deal during today's earnings highlights presentation.
