Cyberpunk 2077’s Future May Be Stuck in Night City Forever
Based on Pondsmith’s remarks, Project Orion might be set in Chicago or a city much like it within the Cyberpunk universe. Although the prospect of exploring more of the world beyond Night City and its surrounding wastelands is intriguing, moving too far away from the iconic location could potentially be risky. CD Projekt Red has worked diligently to make Night City the centerpiece of their Cyberpunk universe since games like Cyberpunk 2077, Phantom Liberty DLC, and the Cyberpunk: Edgerunners anime. Abandoning such a richly developed setting could be squandering its full potential.
