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.

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.
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.
Cyberpunk 2077 is getting better
Or to be precise slightly better. For some users. Yes, CD Projekt Red, finally came up with patch 1.5 and... it’s still far, far, far from what was expected from the game.
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.
Why Stalker 2 will most likely fail
We just gained some details of the upcoming Stalker 2 (or rather S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2) game, but it is scarce info to be honest. And that makes me fear it will be a failure on premiere. Here is why...
