Pondsmith Teases Cyberpunk Sequel’s Second City and Calls on Keanu Reeves

The follow-up, codenamed Project Orion, remains in early development with no story or casting confirmed.

Overview

  • On CD Projekt Red’s REDstreams, series creator Mike Pondsmith said developers are showing him work on the sequel as he continues advising the team.
  • He described a second location alongside Night City as a place that feels like “Chicago gone wrong.”
  • He publicly told Keanu Reeves, who has said he’d love to return as Johnny Silverhand, “I have ways to do that, Keanu. Contact me,” while stressing nothing is decided.
  • CD Projekt Red has allocated roughly 100 developers to Project Orion as the studio’s wider focus stays on The Witcher 4.
  • Pondsmith joked about potential future celebrity roles, mentioning Scarlett Johansson, with no casting offers or agreements announced.
