Originally announced over a decade ago, Cyberpunk 2077 became one of the most anticipated games in the lead-up to its release in 2020. Helmed by CD Projekt Red, the studio behind the world-renowned Witcher series, Cyberpunk 2077 was a bold and ambitious experiment for the company, this time planting players in a rich and fully realized first-person environment.

A new job listing from CD Projekt Red shares a few details about what the studio currently needs, potentially confirming rumors Cyberpunk 2077's sequel will include multiplayer. Pitching and developing engaging combat mechanics are a top priority for this "Senior Combat Designer" role, though the job listing gets even more interesting when taking a look at the "Nice to Have" section which lists experience with multiplayer games.

Project Orion is the code name for the Cyberpunk 2077 sequel, though exact details are yet to be unveiled.

It's unknown if Project Orion will be a direct sequel to Cyberpunk 2077 or something entirely new set in the same futuristic world. Cyberpunk 2077's open world has become an iconic location in the world of video games, though some fans may want to explore outside the bounds of the densely packed, sprawling futuristic jungle that is Night City.
