Now Playing: Cyberpunk Director Breaks Down Phantom Liberty Endings

All of these people are working on the sequel at CD Projekt’s new office in Boston, Massachusetts. As for people who joined the Boston studio to work on the sequel, these include former lead product manager at Blizzad, Dan Hernberg, who is an executive producer on the Cyberpunk 2077 sequel; IO Interactive and Massive Entertainment’s Ryan Barnard as design director; and Mortal Kombat technical director Alan Villani, who is engineering director on the Cyberpunk 2077 follow-up.

Additionally, writer Anna Megill (Control, Dishonored: Death of The Outsider, Guild Wars 2, Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora) is joining the Cyberpunk sequel as its lead writer. Megill also worked on the narrative elements for Microsoft’s upcoming Fable game. Finally, novelist and comic book writer Alexander Freed is working on the writing for the Cyberpunk 2077 sequel. Freed was previously a lead writer at BioWare on Star Wars: The Old Republic, and he also wrote or consulted for DICE, Obsidian, and Wizards of the Coast.

Cyberpunk 2077 launched in December 2020 and had a rocky start, but has since rebounded substantially and has shifted more than 25 million copies. A steady stream of updates and improvements helped get the game in a much better state, and an expansion, Phantom Liberty, was released in September 2023 to strong critical reviews and millions in sales.

The sequel was announced in October 2022, and recently, we learned that CD Projekt is exploring the possibility of introducing multiplayer.

CD Projekt is also working on The Witcher 4 and a remake of the original Witcher, among other projects.
