Cyberpunk 2077, a highly acclaimed action role-playing game, has captivated players with its richly detailed futuristic world. As the game’s development transitions to its sequel, Project Orion, a significant location change has been announced. This move is intended to enhance the authenticity and immersion of the game’s setting, focusing on an American backdrop.
Cyberpunk 2077 is now complete, and the development focus has shifted to its sequel. The new project is being developed in the USA, with teams from Boston and Vancouver taking the helm. But why the change of location?
According to Dan Hernberg, the goal is to create a more authentic depiction of the USA for Project Orion. The sequel, set in America, aims to be not only written in the country but also actively developed there. This approach is intended to infuse the game with a genuine American atmosphere.
In Cyberpunk 2077, the influence of European design is evident. Elements such as manhole covers, which resemble those found in Germany, highlight these subtle influences. While these details contribute to the game’s uniqueness, the developers believe that improving the authenticity of the American setting will enhance the quality of the sequel. By embedding the development process within the cultural context of the game’s setting, the team hopes to achieve a more immersive and realistic experience for players.
