Here's an interesting little detail picked up through a recent CD Projekt conference: the Polish company currently has not one, not two, but three Cyberpunk projects in the works. One of them is obviously Cyberpunk 2077, but what about the other two?
As Polish publication Bankier.pl reports, CD Projekt president Adam Kiciński has confirmed that the developer is busy behind the scenes. Kiciński said, "We're working on three Cyberpunk things -- that's the main game and two more. These are three [development] teams."
One such team is based in Wrocław, where reportedly, around 40 people are working some form of multiplayer for Cyberpunk 2077. CD Projekt has previously said that multiplayer is something that the developer was considering for Cyberpunk 2077, but always reiterated that the game would launch as a single player title only. Going by this new report, it sounds like a multiplayer mode is all but confirmed for some point after release.
So what about the third project? Well, this is where things get even more juicy. Vice president Piotr Nielubowicz states that CD Projekt's next "big" game will also be set in the world of Cyberpunk. "Our next big project will also be in the 'Cyberpunk' universe, and we're already working on it and treating it as a really big and innovative project for us," Nielubowicz said. Very interesting.

sounds to me that the cyberpunk MP could be it's own game?
good leave it out of the main game.
The third one is a cyberpunk expansion for gwent.
the keyword MP got me triggered but as long as it has nothing to do with the single player i don't care about it.
The 3rd team is censoring the game to make it Sony-compliant.
They speak about the 3rd project being innovative - I'd guess at a VR version or spin-off
The Witcher 4 in Cyberpunk universe
Cybergwent. Obviously. Where you can unlock a wrist mod to help you cheat.
I hope cdp will have cyberpunk 2077 next-gen version when ps5 released
I hope It's either Cyberpunk 2077 + 2 big DLC expansions or Cyberpunk 2077, 1 DLC, and a Gwent crossover where Ciri teaches V how to play and he-she starts a tournament.
Multi-player could be interesting but not something I am particularly bothered about right now. Maybe it could be more of a co-operative experience rather than a competitive FPS game (like CoD, BF etc). A co-operative MP set in the Cyberpunk world would appeal more (I think) but until I know exactly what an online experience entails, I won't get to excited or dismiss it.
As for the third, I can't really think of what they maybe - a 'mobile' spin-off game? A RTS game? a spin-off from a past-time activity like Gwent?
@BAMozzy It’s the sequel to Cyberpunk. It says so I’m the third paragraph.
Usually I get an allergic reaction whenever I hear MP, but I'd be curious to see what they do within the cyberpunk universe since it's based on a ttrpg.
Not interested in multiplayer even for Cyberpunk 2077. Seeing another player teabagging whilst shouting obscenities about my dear old Mum would totally ruin the experience somewhat.
I doubt that there'll be any "gwent" or something like this in cyberpunk and I doubt that they're talking about dlcs at all.
I firmly believe that we will have a strategy turn based cyberpunk game.
@ShogunRok It's now looking like this is a miss translation. Game Informer is commenting that it has 3 teams working on CyberPunk but 2 of those are working on 2077. The third is R&D team, so could still potentially be multiplayer component.
@BearsEatBeets Yeah, this is to do with a number of sites saying it's three different Cyberpunk games, which isn't what CDPR said. They specifically said "projects" which could mean anything!
