No, CD Projekt Red isn’t working on three Cyberpunk games

Earlier this week reports from across the internet have claimed that CD Projekt Red is working on three Cyberpunk game releases, turning 2020’s Cyberpunk 2077 into a full-on gaming franchise. The only problem with these reports is that they are all false. 

CD Projekt Red’s Adam Kicinski was quoted as saying “[Machine Translation] We’re working on three cyberpunk things – over the main game and over two more” in an interview with bankier.pl, which lead to reports that at least three Cyberpunk games were in the works. The problem here is that these reports stem from PC-based translation of a Polish interview, leaving plenty of room for inaccuracy. 

reports which stemmed from this translation have claimed that Cyberpunk 2077 is game 1 of the coming Cyberpunk 2077 series, with the second title being a multiplayer spin-off release while the third title is CD Projekt Red’s next AAA release. CD Projekt Red has since released a statement to clarify the situation, revealing that three development teams are “focusing on the development of Cyberpunk 2077”. 

Below is a statement from CD Projekt Red; 

We currently have a total of five teams working on a number of projects, with three focusing on the development of Cyberpunk 2077.
These include CD Projekt Red Warsaw and Kraków, who are handling the main game, as well as the Wroclaw studio, where around 40 industry specialists are engaged in technology R&D.
