GameRant makes the case that Project Orion aka Cyberpunk 2 should dive head first into multi-player. As a side note to this CDPR has stated in past investor calls all new games will have some type of MP. Exactly what kind or how deep said MP will be is unknown. But I think GR will get their wish, it just may not be GTA Online style MP as they seem to be hoping and more co-op style. We'll see, either case here is a snip;
While Cyberpunk 2077 was still in development, CD Projekt Red promised that a multiplayer mode would be added to the highly anticipated game sometime after launch. Fans were excited about the chance to test their augmented V against another player's in encounters that could combine Cyberpunk 2077's hacking, driving, and fast-paced combat. However, the developer eventually decided that due to the attention required to improve the base game's single-player, multiplayer would need to be scrapped. Thankfully, Project Orion presents a brand-new opportunity to bring multiplayer back in a big way.
