Project Orion represents CD PROJEKT RED's ambitious sequel to Cyberpunk 2077. Development occurs at the company's Boston facility with 116 team members as of July 2025. A Lead Network Engineer position advertisement reveals plans for extensive online functionality. The role focuses on multiplayer architecture and server infrastructure development. This hiring decision reverses the studio's previous stance against online features.

Multiplayer components were originally planned for the first Cyberpunk game but faced cancellation after launch difficulties. Performance issues and technical problems forced the strategic pivot away from online modes. The sequel aims to fulfill those abandoned multiplayer ambitions with speculation suggesting gameplay mechanics similar to Grand Theft Auto Online. Actor Keanu Reeves expressed willingness to return as Johnny Silverhand while series creator Mike Pondsmith teased a second city location. Release estimates place the finished product at least four to five years away.
