"CD Projekt Red posted that the company was hiring for Cyberpunk 2 on X, with the official job title being Lead Network Engineer. "As a Lead Network Engineer, you and your team will play a pivotal role in designing and implementing the network architecture and online systems," the description says. "You will lead and manage a team of talented engineers, working collaboratively to ensure seamless and robust online systems.""
"In January 2024, CD Projekt joint CEO Adam Badowski noted that they were considering multiplayer for Cyberpunk 2. In fact, there were plans for multiplayer either as part of Cyberpunk 2077 or as a standalone spin-off years ago. However, CD Projekt Red axed that multiplayer project in 2022 after the turbulent launch of Cyberpunk 2077 in 2020. Cyberpunk 2 is most likely a long way off from being released, as CD Projekt Red focuses on The Witcher 4 next."
CD Projekt Red posted a Lead Network Engineer role that explicitly references developing and optimizing multiplayer systems, including matchmaking, suggesting online multiplayer for Cyberpunk 2. The job description assigns responsibility for designing and implementing network architecture and online systems and for leading a team of engineers to ensure seamless and robust online services. Company history shows multiplayer was considered earlier and a separate multiplayer project was cancelled in 2022 after Cyberpunk 2077's troubled launch. Development priorities currently emphasize The Witcher 4, Cyberpunk 2 appears distant, and no official multiplayer announcement has been made.
