Report: Cyberpunk 2077 Sequel Will Have Multiplayer

The rumor started when CD Projekt Red’s CEO, Michal Nowakowski, had mentioned in a Reuters interview that they’re “considering including multiplayer elements” in the Cyberpunk 2077 sequel. While it’s not set in stone, it’s a strong hint that they’re exploring the idea. Adding to the speculation, there’s a job listing for a Senior Combat Designer with multiplayer experience, which suggests they’re serious about it. For those who don’t know, the original Cyberpunk 2077 was supposed to have multiplayer, but it got canceled after the game’s rough launch in 2020. Now, it looks like CD Projekt Red might be ready to revisit that plan with Project Orion.

What Could Multiplayer Look Like in Cyberpunk 2077’s Sequel?

So, what might multiplayer mean for Cyberpunk 2077’s sequel? While we don’t have official details yet, it’s fun to think about the possibilities. Picture exploring Night City with a crew, tackling co-op missions, or maybe even facing off in competitive modes like gang showdowns. CD Projekt Red isn’t new to multiplayer—they’ve already done it with Gwent, their card game spin-off from The Witcher. That experience could help them pull this off. There’s also some chatter about microtransactions, as noted by GAMINGbible, though the developers have said they’d keep it fair for players. If they nail it, multiplayer could take Cyberpunk 2077 to a whole new level.

Fans Are Hyped, But Cautious

The Cyberpunk 2077 community is buzzing about this news, though not everyone’s jumping for joy just yet. After the original game’s launch troubles, some fans are a little wary about whether CD Projekt Red can deliver a smooth multiplayer experience. Still, the idea of roaming Night City with friends is pretty exciting. Over on Reddit, people are tossing around ideas like co-op heists or turf wars between gangs. It’s clear that if multiplayer happens, it could shake things up big time for Cyberpunk 2077 fans.

What’s Next for Cyberpunk 2077’s Sequel?

Right now, Project Orion is still in the early stages, so nothing’s locked in. But the signs point to multiplayer being a real possibility for the Cyberpunk 2077 sequel. CD Projekt Red has a chance to make something special here, and we’re all waiting to see how it turns out. For the latest on this and other gaming news, check out Total Apex Gaming.
