Cyberpunk 2077 Sequel will Feature Photorealistic Textures

Highlights

  • CD Projekt Red hints at more realistic textures for Cyberpunk 2077 sequel.
  • Fans speculate on how sequel, “Project Orion,” will improve upon predecessor’s open-world RPG format using Unreal Engine 5.
  • Job listings imply sequel will focus on cinematic presentation, with more life-like visuals and textures.

As a dedicated gamer with years of experience under my belt, I’ve been through the rollercoaster ride that is CD Projekt Red’s Cyberpunk 2077. The game, plagued by bugs and glitches during its launch, was a long-awaited disappointment for many of us in the community. However, CDPR’s commitment to fixing the issues and releasing the Phantom Liberty DLC was commendable.

CD Projekt Red’s latest job posting suggests that the upcoming sequel to “Cyberpunk 2077” may boast more lifelike textures. The journey to create “Cyberpunk 2077” was a long and complex one, marked by an extended development period and a contentious launch. Post-release, the team at CDPR dedicated significant time and effort to addressing the numerous bugs and issues that emerged upon launch, ultimately resulting in last September’s unveiling of the “Phantom Liberty” expansion.

Phantom Liberty would be Cyberpunk 2077’s only story-based DLC, and CD Projekt Red announced that it would be moving forward with a full-on sequel instead of expanding on the original further. Ever since the tentatively named “Project Orion” was first revealed in the fall of 2022, fans have been speculating on how this Cyberpunk 2077 follow-up will build on the open-world RPG format of its predecessor. There are plenty of rumors and leaks out in the wild already, but the only thing that is known for sure is that the Cyberpunk 2077 sequel will be built using Unreal Engine 5 by CD Projekt North America.

In the future, the visuals of “Cyberpunk 2077″‘s potential sequel could become even more lifelike, as suggested by a recent job listing at CD Projekt Red. For Project Orion, they are looking for a skilled Senior Environment Artist to collaborate with their Environment Team. The chosen artist would be responsible for designing intricately detailed worlds that players can explore in depth. To accomplish this task, they would create top-notch 3D models and photorealistic textures using a range of software and middleware tools.

Cyberpunk 2077 Sequel Could Be Going For A More Realistic Look

As a gamer, I’ve noticed that the upcoming Cyberpunk 2077 project from CDPR might be targeting a more cinematic experience. A job posting from March supports this theory by seeking a Lead Cinematics Designer to bring Project Orion to life with a harmonious blend of film and game elements. In contrast, the initial Cyberpunk 2077 seemed focused on immersing players in Night City’s gritty atmosphere, giving us the freedom to control the camera during conversations with NPCs. However, this meant fewer cinematic cutscenes.

Based on recent indications, Project Orion is leaning towards a more cinematic experience with potentially enhanced photorealistic textures. Cyberpunk 2077, its predecessor, successfully delivered a gritty, neon-lit futuristic world for players to immerse themselves in. It’s intriguing to consider how the upcoming sequel might introduce more lifelike characters, structures, and vehicles to enrich this experience further.
