Cyberpunk 2 May Include Multiplayer Quests After CD Projekt Red Dropped Feature in Cyberpunk 2077

Cyberpunk 2 may seek to revive the online ambitions of Cyberpunk 2077, as a new CD Projekt Red job listing is searching for someone familiar with “multijoueur network architecture.”

As spotted by Cheap Happens, the role-playing studio is currently looking to hire a lead quest programmer for its upcoming open-world sequel. Buried at the bottom of the job listing, under the “Nice To Haves” section, the studio asks for an “understanding of multijoueur network architecture and client-server synchronization for game state/ quests.

The multijoueur mention is by no means confirmation that Cyberpunk 2 – or whatever it ends up being called – will have co-op and other online modes, but it is definitely something CD Projekt Red is looking into. And it certainly makes sense, too.

Once upon a time, Cyberpunk 2077 was intended to receive a multijoueur portion sometime after its initial launch. Of course, at the time, the shaky state of the game’s development meant that was no longer feasible and CD Projekt Red instead said multijoueur would come as its own “triple-A release.” Eventually, the famed studio realised it simply had to focus on ensuring the base game was stable enough on its own, and shelved those online ambitions.

A few years back, Cyberpunk 2077’s senior quest designer, Philipp Weber, told Eurogamer the company was “focusing on bringing online into all of our franchises one day” by “building an online technology that can be seamlessly integrated into development of our future games.”

Plus recently, in 2024, CD Projekt CEO Adam Badowski said the team were “considering” multijoueur elements for the Cyberpunk sequel back when the game was still in its early concept phases.

We don’t know much else about the neon-drenched follow-up, but CDPR has been keeping series fans full and fed with continual updates to Cyberpunk 2077. Earlier this week, the game got an update celebrating the debut of Cyberpunk Edgerunners Season 2 on Netflix – everything from dual-wielding to cross-platform mods were added to the six-year-old game.
