The likelihood of multiplayer being included in Cyberpunk 2077's sequel, Project Orion, continues to grow stronger. A newly published job advertisement seeks a senior gameplay programmer capable of developing systems for both solo and cooperative play. This mirrors earlier recruitment efforts, such as hiring a lead networking programmer in August 2024 and a combat designer specializing in multiplayer experiences in November.

Cyberpunk 2077 Sequel Likely to Include Multiplayer Based on Job ListingsImage: msn.com Announced in 2022, Project Orion entered full production just last year and remains in the pre-production phase. Details about the story or its ties to the first game are scarce, but one thing is clear—the development team is rapidly expanding. Since late 2024, CD Projekt Red has added 20 new members to the Boston studio, bringing the current headcount to 57 specialists dedicated to the project.

For many fans, this potential inclusion of multiplayer evokes mixed feelings. The original Cyberpunk 2077 was heavily marketed around the promise of online features, which never materialized. Now, it appears that CD Projekt Red might fulfill this unmet expectation through their next big release.
