I think it&#8217;s safe to assume that between 350 and 500 developers should be required.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><output class=\"widget-container\"><button type=\"button\" style=\"display:none\" class=\"jsx-2337568644\"\/><\/p>\n<div class=\"jsx-862123036 slideshow-preview\">\n<p>Every CD Projekt Red Review<\/p>\n<div class=\"jsx-862123036 images-container\"><button type=\"button\" aria-label=\"Open Slideshow\" class=\"jsx-862123036 hero-image\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"jsx-3600606818 aspect-ratio-container aspect-ratio-16-9\">\n<div class=\"jsx-3600606818 aspect-ratio-child\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/button><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/output><\/p>\n<p>Given that development hasn&#8217;t begun yet, CD Projekt Red didn&#8217;t say too much about Orion, but promised it&#8217;ll be &#8220;the next Cyberpunk game that will fully unleash the potential that this universe offers&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>The studio certainly has a busy few years on its hands, as a new Witcher trilogy was announced alongside a Witcher universe game from CD Projekt Red&#8217;s The Molasses Flood and another &#8220;full-fledged&#8221; Witcher title from a mysterious third party studio.<\/p>\n<p>The studio is still working on Cyberpunk 2077&#8217;s long awaited first expansion, Phantom Liberty, in the meantime.
