Cyberpunk 2077 developer CD Projekt RED has been fairly busy getting the open world, FPS/RPG ready. Despite how massive the project is, it hasn't dulled the studio's desire to release two triple-A games by 2021. A recent comment by CD Projekt moderator Donata Popławska on the company's official forum reaffirmed as much.

"As for the strategy of the CD PROJEKT Capital Group for the years 2016-2021, plans for the release of the second AAA game until 2021 remain unchanged. We are currently focusing on the production and promotion of Cyberpunk, so we do not want to comment on further projects." Even with Popławska's comments in mind, it wouldn't be unreasonable to expect a reveal of the second project by late 2019/early 2020.

Cyberpunk 2077 this year. Here we go.

I would love for second game to be game set in witcher world where you make your own witcher and ame is all about those sidequests with almost no main story.

 

[Screamer-RSA]

Foooooooooo I would love Cyberpunk this year, but I don't see that happening. Next year at least.

Must be this year if they ever want to release another AAA game in 2021.

I mean Cyberpunk as 400+ people working on it , so unless they have hired a shit ton more people how can they release two Big RPG;'s close together and before 2021 , Maybe they are publishing a game right now letting another studio do the donkey work , which will be released under the CD project banner maybe ?

also what do they mean by AAA tho , because CD project RED might have seen ThroneBreaker ( which apparently is fantastic) as AAA as well

 

[ZywyPL]

Dunno why but I smell an XB2 exclusive...

[...] how can they release two Big RPG;'s [...]

Who said the second game will also be an RPG? Maybe it will be an action FPP/TPP, that has less complex world and doesn't require that much time and workforce to make. Because yeah, making another game with TW3/CP2077 scope seems to be simply impossible, especially within that timeframe.

i don't know why i thought it was a RPG , maybe that's what i associate CD project with. anyway its early where i am so that's my excuse.

 

[scalman]

yes good but just give us Cyberpunk for now..

 

[Dontero]

CDPR said officially it was AA project.

 

[klosos]

CDPR said officially it was AA project.

ok thats good to know , thanks for the heads up on that.

I'm starting to think the other title is an xbox or playstation exclusive of some sort.

 

[h3ad0rZ]

Maybe its an action-adventure game starring Ciri. Smaller scale seems more feasible.

 

[TeamGhobad]

why make such a statement? people will think CP77 is the not main focus and riot.

new studio consising of devs from:

Dying Light
The Witcher series
Hitman (2016)
Dead Island
Call of Juarez series

Makes no sense. TW3 sold about 20mln units. They are floating in money. Maybe not Fornite level of money but well enough to fund several AAA games, especially when you consider that they are based in Poland where wages are much smaller than in US.

Stupid idea. Ciri is nearly omnipotent.

 

[Bkdk]

I think the other AAA game they're mentioning is very multiplayer focused, thus the development time is shorter and they can be released very close to cyberpunk2077.

I dunno. Not so hard to write in some crutch for her. Also, doesn't she travel between worlds? Sounds fun for an adventure game.

 

[sublimit]

Hope the other one is in Third Person.

 

[GTR R35_Supra RZ]

CyberPunk definitely a holiday release at this point

 

[Hendrick's]

No way we get CP and another AAA game by 2021. No chance.

 

[MightySquirrel]

Nooooo. I thought I'll play CP77 in 2020.

I admit I'm familiar with the economy of Poland, but I suppose that it would be worth considering. Still, I would be pleasantly surprised if this other title is an extensive action adventure/RPG title adjacent to CP 2077.
