PS5 and Xbox Series may miss out on Cyberpunk 2

Cyberpunk 2 Development Expands with Team Growth and The Witcher 4 Release, Anticipated Beyond 2029 on Next-Gen Consoles

Gamers eager for Cyberpunk 2 will likely need considerable patience. CD Projekt Red is already developing the sequel and intends to almost double its team size over the next two years. Because CD Projekt Red is also developing The Witcher 4, some team members may transition to Cyberpunk 2 after that game's release. Given CD Projekt Red’s lengthy development cycles, a release is unlikely before 2029 or 2030. This timeline suggests Cyberpunk 2 will likely appear on next-generation consoles, expected to arrive around 2027. The development of The Witcher 4, potentially launching by 2028, could also affect Cyberpunk 2's release. Following The Witcher 4's launch, a portion of the team may move to Cyberpunk 2 to accelerate its development and deliver a polished game, avoiding the pitfalls of its predecessor. Little is known about the sequel's story; however, Keanu Reeves has expressed interest in reprising his role. While the return of protagonist "V" seems improbable, Johnny Silverhand could reappear if Reeves participates. CD Projekt Red is keen to include the character if Reeves is willing, a possibility that the extended development timeline makes more feasible.
