CD Projekt Red has officially confirmed during its Q1 2025 earnings call that the highly anticipated Cyberpunk 2077 sequel has entered pre-production. This marks a significant milestone for the studio as it moves forward with its next major project following the success of Cyberpunk 2077 and its expansion, Phantom Liberty.
According to CD Projekt Red, 96 developers are currently working on the Cyberpunk sequel. While this number is expected to grow as the project advances, the majority of the studio’s workforce—422 developers—remains focused on The Witcher 4, another major title in development. Other projects, such as Project Sirius and Project Hadar, also have dedicated teams working on them.
The studio has not provided a timeline for the sequel’s release, but given the complexity of AAA game development, it could take several years before the game enters full production.
Financial Performance
CD Projekt Red’s Q1 2025 financial report highlights the company’s revenue and profitability. Here are some key figures:
- Total sales revenue: 226.3 million PLN (~$57.3 million USD)
- Net profit: 86 million PLN (~$21.8 million USD)
- Revenue from The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt: 2.4 billion PLN (~$64 million USD)
- Sales of Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty: Over 10 million copies sold
Despite a 14% decline in net profit compared to Q1 2024, CD Projekt Red remains financially strong, with continued revenue from its existing titles and expansions.
While details about the Cyberpunk sequel remain scarce, CD Projekt Red has hinted at ambitious plans for the game. Reports suggest that the sequel’s city will feel like “Chicago Gone Wrong”, and the developers are working on the most realistic and reactive crowd system yet.
Fans will have to wait for further updates, but with pre-production now underway, the future of the Cyberpunk franchise looks promising.
