CD Projekt Red just called Project Orion Cyberpunk 2 for the first time but insists that isn't actually the title, and I think I heard this song before with The Witcher 4

The sequel to 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Cyberpunk 2077 is 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:officially entering pre-production, and 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:CD Projekt Red has finally dropped the Project Orion codename in favor of calling it Cyb🐟erpunk 2, just like the rest of us have been doing this entire time.

The devs would like to make sure you don't get it twisted, though – just because they're calling it Cyberpunk 2 doesn't mean it's actually going to be called Cyberpunk 2.

accompanying its latest financial report. "As a result, Cyberpunk 2 – previously known under the codename Project Orion – has progressed to preproduction."

That sure 🐭sounds like an official name announcement, but as CDPR's senior PR manager Ola Sondej told ear🔴lier today, it isn't meant to be. "'Cyberpunk 2' just means it’s another game in the Cyberpunk universe," Sondej said.

If this whole song and dance sounds familiar, you might be thinking of the time CD Projekt Red announced the fourth game in The Witcher series and, the instant we all started calling it The Witcher 4, 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:insisted that it was not called The Witche𝄹r 4. The official reveal last year, of course, confirmed that it will be called 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:The Witcher 4 after all.

It's not unthinkable that the same thing might happen with Cyberpunk 2, but in fairness, the year-based naming format established with the original game does open up a much wider range of possibilities for the sequel's title. The Witcher 4 seem𝔍ed inevitable, but Cyberpunk 2 does actually sound purely like a working title.

The game could be namedꩵ anything from Cyberpunk 2078 to Cybe𝕴rpunk 40,000, but nailing that down might give away more of the setting than CDPR is willing to commit to just yet.

Asked about Cyberpunk 2 release date, CDPR boss reiterates "our journey from the pre-production to the final release takes 4 to 5 years on average" but "each project is unique."
