We're wary about being swept up in the hype again, but the team at CD Projekt Red is gearing up for a Cyberpunk 2077 sequel and one job listing makes it sound as though it'll be bigger in scaleTech16:32, 20 Feb 2025Will the sequel take us back to Night City?(Image: CD Projekt Red)Cyberpunk 2077 was a mess when it first launched, but its subsequent road to redemption has been nothing short of legendary.
