A CD Projekt Red developer has confirmed there are Cyberpunk 2077 expansions in development, reassuring fans the RPG isn’t dead.
“We’re still improving the game because we are all aware that there is work to be done,” Quest director Pawel Sasko said in a recent livestream captured onReddit(viaTheGamer),
Sasko’s comments come on the heels ofCyberpunk 2077 patch 1.5, the game’s biggest update yet, which fixed some key issues with the title, such as car handling, AI crowd reactions, and rebalancing the loot system. The patch also ushered in dedicatedCyberpunk 2077 PS5 and Xbox Series Xversions of the game.
“I cannot tell you anything about our future plans,” Sasko said on the stream, “but I can assure you that we are working on expansions.”
Sasko’s assurances will be a relief to players worried CD Projekt RED had abandoned Cyberpunk 2077 to focus onThe Witcher 4. The game had a disastrous start to life when it launched at the end of 2020,Sonyeven pulled Cyberpunk from the PlayStation store because it was so full of bugs.
While patch 1.5 has improved the game, according toSteamChartsit didn’t bring a big boost to the player count, only hitting 59,000 concurrent players alongside the patch’s release – a far cry from the 830,000 it had at launch.
However, the patch’s reception seems to have been enough for CD Projekt Red as Sasko said: ‘We’re very happy you guys liked 1.5, and that gives us more…incentive to work for you guys because you show your appreciation for it.’
