CD Projekt officially confirmed in October that the sequel to Cyberpunk 2077 is in early development, and it seems that process is starting to heat up. The studio announced today that it's added five veteran developers "with years of experience" to the team, including former New World head of production Dan Hernberg and Control pre-production narrative lead Anna Megill.
Megill had previously served as narrative lead on Playgrounds Games' still-in-development Fable reboot, a role she took on in June 2022. She announced her departure from the project in July 2023, saying "the time feels right for new challenges," and apparently she found a good one. She's now the lead writer on Project Orion, as the Cyberpunk 2077 sequel is currently known, and brings considerable experience to the role: Along with Fable and Orion, Megill's game writing credits include Dishonored: Death of the Outsider, Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora, and Guild Wars 2.
