Cyberpunk Orion Leak – Chicago-Set Sequel Build

Pre-alpha Cyberpunk Orion footage leaked — setting Chicago. Engine UE5. Launch window 2028.

Leaked clip shows weather effects, traversal mechanics, Chicago-style street layout. Protagonist third-person by default with first-person toggle, mirroring Cyberpunk 2077’s late-cycle camera options.

What changes from 2077

UE5 is a clean break from CDPR’s in-house engine. Boston Studio leading development with Warsaw team in support. Setting shift opens narrative possibilities CDPR has telegraphed for two years.

TFZ read: 2028 is realistic only if Phantom Liberty’s expansion success transfers. Worth tracking quarterly.
