A recent job posting for a Lead Network Engineer at CD Projekt RED suggests that the next Cyberpunk 2077 game may feature online multiplayer. The listing specifically mentions Cyberpunk 2, and details that the role involves creating and implementing the online systems for the game.
CD Projekt RED is hiring a Lead Network Engineer to help build the online features for the next Cyberpunk 2077 game, Cyberpunk 2. This role involves leading a team of engineers to design, build, and maintain the game’s network and online systems, ensuring they are reliable and work smoothly.
The Lead Network Engineer is in charge of making sure players have smooth, responsive online gaming experiences, likely including real-time multiplayer options. This involves managing things like matchmaking, keeping lag low, optimizing bandwidth, and ensuring servers run well. They’ll also need to weave these network features seamlessly into the overall game, rather than keeping them separate.
The recent job posting suggests that the sequel to *Cyberpunk 2077* is still in the early stages of development. CD Projekt RED announced last month that both the *Cyberpunk 2* and *The Witcher 4* teams are expanding. Their financial report showed the *Cyberpunk 2* team grew from 96 people on April 30th to 116 by July 31st.
We’ve dramatically increased our hiring speed in the last three months, growing our team of talented developers by 10% to nearly 800 people,” explained joint-CEO Michał Nowakowski to investors. “This growth is mainly thanks to our two biggest development teams.
The team working on the next Witcher game has expanded to over 440 developers. Cyberpunk 2, which recently entered pre-production in the second quarter, added 20 new team members. We expect our total number of developers to continue growing slowly throughout the year, especially for projects that are furthest along in development.
Everyone knows CD Projekt RED is working on a new Cyberpunk game, but the company has hinted it might not actually be called *Cyberpunk 2*. According to PR manager Ola Sondej, that title was just used to signal a new installment in the series. The game is currently known internally as *Project Orion*.
So, I was reading up on the next Cyberpunk game, and apparently, it might not even be *set* in Night City! A writer at CD Projekt RED, Magda Zych, said that the story could really happen anywhere. It sounds like they’re focusing on the anti-capitalist stuff, and that message works no matter where the game takes place, which is pretty cool.
