Cyberpunk creator Mike Pondsmith confirmed that Project Orion will take players beyond Night City and introduce an entirely separate metropolitan sprawl. The tabletop franchise architect revealed that CD Projekt Red is currently crafting at least two primary urban locations for the anticipated sequel.
Pondsmith described the brand-new setting as essentially Chicago if everything went completely wrong, teasing a frozen midwestern wasteland choked by ruthless corporate warfare and industrial decay. While Night City remains the beating heart of the universe, stepping far outside its neon borders gives developers fresh narrative ground to explore.
CD Projekt Red's North American studio in Boston is currently spearheading development on Project Orion utilizing Unreal Engine 5, meaning you should settle in for a lengthy wait before touring either dystopian metropolis on modern platforms.
