CD Projekt RED reportedly developing multiplayer for Cyberpunk 2

Recent job postings from CD Projekt RED suggest that the sequel to Cyberpunk 2077 may feature multiplayer or cooperative gameplay modes. A listing for a lead mission programmer specifically seeks expertise in multiplayer network architecture and client-server synchronization to support shared and cooperative missions with tailored narrative content.

While the exact scope of the online component remains unconfirmed, possibilities range from a full-scale multiplayer experience to a cooperative mode similar to Borderlands or Baldur’s Gate 3. The development is expected to utilize Unreal Engine 5. Some industry analysts suggest the inclusion of multiplayer elements has contributed to a total project budget of approximately $400 million, with a potential release window in the fourth quarter of 2030.
