Cyberpunk 2 has already been confirmed as being in development by CD Projekt Red, but not all that much has been revealed about the game aside from its massive budget and a potential 2030 launch date. Now, a new job posting by CD Projekt Red has potentially confirmed recent rumors that multiplayer support is being worked on for Cyberpunk 2.
