Some people will never learn

CD Projekt announced that an early stage of work on a sequel to Cyberpunk 2077 has started and, to quote a classic, it’s déjà vu all over again.
With the announcement that the North American studios (in Boston and Vancouver) will be doing the heavy lifting in this project to make the world feel more "American", some details were "revealed". Among the things that might be included in the project (at least according to Cyberpunk creator Mike Pondsmith) will be a second city that will "feel like Chicago gone wrong" and "the most realistic and reactive crowd system in any game to date". Hmm, where have I heard things like that before? Oh yeah, in marketing materials before Cyberpunk 2077 had its infamous premiere.
What else we can count on? "Memorable combat encounters" and "divergent experiences that cater to all available play styles". Yup, same BS, new shovel. For some unexplainable reason CD Projekt felt the urge to announce Cyberpunk 2 back in October 2022, they started a very early stage of the work on the project in May 2025 and it is planned to be published in late 2030 or early 2031.
So, to sum up, they announce the game almost 3 years before they even started to work on it, yet they know how long the production cycle will be, before it has even started. Is it me or CD Projekt did not learn a single thing from the most despicable and embarrassingly bad premiere of Cyberpunk 2077, a game that still is prominently present in almost every single video on GameSprout? I guess not. So for the next few years we can expect the "revelations" of what will or will not be present in the game that is still only a glimpse in the eye of its creators.

How Cyberpunk 2077 made history and what you should learn from it
Cyberpunk 2077, new game from CD Projekt Red studio, premiered on 10th December 2020 and, just like rest of the year 2020, it was a painful experience. Although after about 8 years in production developers made history, I don’t think that was the way they wanted to do it.
Another game have cyberpunked
To no-one’s surprise another big title have just completely cyberpunked on the premiere - buggy, under-developed, remade to appeal to everyone. And ended up quickly forgotten. Yes, I mean Saints Row.
It is... a... sort-of... news... I guess
CD Projekt Red announced that they work on Witcher 4! And... that’s about it. No, I forgot, we now know the title! And that is really it.
Let the sarcastic clapping begin!
Cyberpunk 2077, a game with one of the worst premieres in modern times, just became a Game of the Year! No, you didn’t wake up in some parallel universe, although... I’m not that sure to be honest.
The most bizarre idea in recent times?
Great news for all of the fans of Cheech and Chong comedy duo - now you can play as their characters in Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3 and Call of Duty Warzone! And... it is hard to tell why.
