CD Projekt Red is working on a 'Cyberpunk 2077' follow-up and several new Witcher games

<p>CD Projekt Red may be much busier than you expect. The developer has shared a long-term roadmap that elaborates and expands on its plans. To start, a project codenamed &quot;Orion&quot; is effectively a sequel to Cyberpunk 2077 that will &quot;further develop the potential&quot; of the sci-fi franchise. It's in development by CDPR's teams in Boston and Vancouver.</p><p>And while it's no secret that there's a new Unreal Engine 5-based The Witcher game in the works (it entered pre-production this spring), it's really just the start of a new trilogy. You might not have to wait long to see the story reach its conclusion, either. CDPR hopes to release all three games within a six-year span, with the first (codenamed &quot;Polaris&quot;) serving as a technology foundation for the remaining two.</p><span id="end-legacy-contents"></span><p>Other titles include &quot;Sirius,&quot; a The Witcher spinoff with solo and multiplayer elements aimed at a &quot;broader audience.&quot; It's developed by The Flame and the Flood studio The Molasses Flood. Another project, &quot;Canis Majoris,&quot; is a &quot;full-fledged&quot; Witcher universe game built by an outside developer using UE5. And no, CDPR won't be stuck making Cyberpunk and Witcher games for all eternity. &quot;Hadar&quot; will be new, from-scratch universe. It's still in the extremely early stages of development (conceptual work only began in 2021), so it's likely years away.</p><p>Regardless of what you play, you should expect online gameplay to become a staple feature. In its roadmap presentation, CDPR said &quot;most&quot; of its new games will have a multiplayer component. The company was shy on what this will entail.</p><p>CDPR isn't shy about the reasons for the expansion. The wider catalog and cooperation with outside developers will help it &quot;reach new consumers&quot; while maintaining three lasting franchises. If all goes well, a producer best known for rare, single player-focused releases will offer a steady stream of games that help it become more of a household name akin to Activision Blizzard and Ubisoft — in size, if hopefully not in quality.</p>
