CD Projekt RED is bolstering its Boston studio, assembling a team dedicated to the sequel of Cyberpunk 2077, internally known as Project Orion. The title is currently in pre‑production and built on Unreal Engine 5.

The recently posted Lead Quest Programmer vacancy lists a mandatory requirement: deep expertise in multiplayer architecture, network protocols, and client‑server synchronization for quests and game state. This requirement unmistakably signals the studio’s plan to integrate networked features, ranging from co‑op questing to full‑blown multiplayer modes.

While the exact multiplayer format remains under wraps, it is evident that CD Projekt RED is preparing to shift the series from a strictly single‑player experience to a shared online adventure, potentially reshaping the franchise’s future.
