An industry veteran who dedicated 10 years to EA, half of which were spent at BioWare, Gabe Amatangelo joined CD Projekt Red in 2020. Amid Cyberpunk\u2019s tumultous launch, the studio appointed Amatangelo to the role of Game Director after Adam Badowski stepped down from the assignment. Notably, Amatangelo has since led Cyberpunk 2077 through its most significant updates and helmed the production of Phantom Liberty. The developer isn\u2019t taking a leave of absence from Night City anytime soon, either. Cyberpunk 2077\u2019s DLC Director confirms his return for the sequel In an interview with Bloomberg\u2019s Jason Schreier about the upcoming expansion, Gabe Amatangelo confirmed CDPR has entrusted him to head up the next Cyberpunk installment. It seems a shrewd choice on the part of the studio, given that Amatangelo spearheaded Cyberpunk 2077\u2019s game-changing 1.5 update. The strenghts of the Game Director\u2019s leadership will likely feel most evident once the Phantom Liberty DLC drops in September, though. Next to nothing is known about the Cyberpunk 2077 follow-up at this time, barring a codename \u2013 Project Orion. CD Projekt Red initially teased the sequel in an October 2022 Strategy Update; this same update confirmed the existence of several other Witcher-branded titles, as well. The studio noted in a Q1 2023 report that Project Orion remains in the \u201cinitial research\u201d phase. Thus, it won\u2019t see the light of day anytime soon. Regardless, fans of sci-fi RPG have plenty to look forward to in the months ahead. The Phantom Liberty expansion arrives in September packed with new story content and a host of previously unseen features. Better still, the gameplay-related additions \u2013 such as modified skill trees and improved police AI \u2013 will be free for all, irrespective of a DLC purchase.
