What’s up, chooms and fellow Witchers! If you’ve been hungry for news from the masterminds at CD Projekt Red, get ready to feast. A massive info drop just gave us a look behind the curtain at a whole slate of CD Projekt Red future games, and the hype is real. We’re talking concrete details about the Cyberpunk 2077 sequel, codenamed Project Orion, a deeper look into the world of The Witcher 4, and even hints at more DLC content that we thought was off the table. Let’s drop in and break down the biggest reveals.
Project Orion: The Cyberpunk 2 We’ve Been Waiting For
First up, the big one: CDPR has officially confirmed that the Cyberpunk 2077 sequel, Project Orion, is in pre-production. While it’s still early days, the studio has a core team of 96 developers laying the groundwork, and they’ve brought in the heavy hitters who made Phantom Liberty a smash hit. The leadership team includes Gabe Amatangelo (Game Director) and Paweł Sasko (Associate Game Director), so you know it’s in good hands.
In a surprising twist, Cyberpunk creator Mike Pondsmith let slip that the sequel will take us beyond Night City to a brand-new location. He described it as feeling like “Chicago gone wrong,” suggesting a fresh but gritty new urban sandbox to explore. To nail that authenticity, CDPR is even expanding its studio presence to Boston. This move is a clear signal that the CD Projekt Red future games are doubling down on immersive world-building.
More For Night City? New Cyberpunk 2077 Patch & Secret DLC Hinted
Just when we thought the content pipeline for Cyberpunk 2077 was winding down, it seems CDPR has one more in them.
Patch 2.3 on the Horizon
Patch 2.3 is officially on the way! Though it was delayed from its initial June 26 target to ensure it’s “done well and polished,” the scope is expected to be similar to the feature-rich Patch 2.2. A new REDstreams event will be announced soon with a new release date and a full breakdown of what to expect.
A Secret Cyberpunk 2077 DLC in the Works?
Now for the spiciest rumor of them all. It looks like more substantial DLC for Cyberpunk 2077 might be in development. This intel comes from the LinkedIn profile of Doug Van Horne, a Lead Writer at Virtuos—the studio that collaborated on recent Cyberpunk patches. His profile mentioned working on a “Cyberpunk 2077 DLC” starting in April 2025, with his role involving writing “dialogue in multiple new side quests” for “upcoming DLC releases.” The listing has since been changed, which only makes it more suspicious. Could another expansion be on the cards after all?
A New Saga: What We Know About The Witcher 4
The next chapter in The Witcher saga, which we’re all calling The Witcher 4, is also taking shape. Here’s what we know:
- Ciri is the Star: CDPR confirmed that Ciri will be the main protagonist. The game will explore her journey on the path of a Witcher, staying true to the book’s lore.
- A New World in Unreal Engine 5: A stunning cinematic trailer rendered in-engine using Unreal Engine 5 has showcased the game’s next-generation visuals, promising a massive leap in world design. The environments look incredibly dense and detailed, promising a massive leap in world design.
- It’s a New Beginning: The developers have stressed this will be a great entry point for new players, so you won’t need to have played the entire trilogy to jump in. But don’t worry, they’ve also confirmed Geralt will make an appearance.
The Wider World of CD Projekt Red Future Games
Beyond the two titans, CDPR is expanding its portfolio in exciting new ways.
- Project Hadar & Unannounced Titles: Project Hadar is CDPR’s first-ever original IP, being built from the ground up internally. Job postings hint at a narrative-driven, emotional experience. On top of that, the studio has two other unannounced gaming projects and one non-gaming project in the pipeline.
- The Witcher 3 DLC Rumor: A Polish podcast has reported that a new story-based DLC for The Witcher 3 is being developed by Fool’s Theory (the team behind the Witcher 1 Remake), with a rumored release window of 2026. Taking a 10-year-old game and adding new story content would be an unprecedented move, but we’re here for it!
- Expanding the Universe: The world of Cyberpunk is growing. Cyberpunk: Edgerunners Madness, a manga prequel, is on its way, and an ongoing partnership with WEBTOON and Dark Horse Comics is already bringing new Witcher and Cyberpunk stories to the platform, with more scheduled to release throughout 2025
It’s a huge time to be a fan of CD Projekt Red future games. With multiple projects running in parallel, from sequels to new IPs and transmedia expansions, the next few years are looking absolutely legendary.
