CD Projekt says a major Cyberpunk 2077 expansion will include a new storyline

CD Projekt has revealed that an upcoming Cyberpunk 2077 expansion will include a new storyline.

Vice president and chief financial officer Piotr Nielubowicz said on Thursday: “For everyone who has already walked the streets of Night City – we’re working on further DLCs as well as on a major expansion featuring a new storyline.”

He also claimed that Cyberpunk 2077 has now sold over 18 million copies.

“We believe in the long-term potential of our newest release; thus, one of our priorities for 2021 was to improve Cyberpunk 2077 gameplay,” he said.

“We are now satisfied with the game and encouraged by the gamers’ reception of its next-gen console edition, which launched this February. Altogether, we’ve now sold over 18 million copies of Cyberpunk 2077.”

Cyberpunk 2077’s post-launch plans were significantly altered following the game’s troubled release, but the title finally received its first piece of DLC last August.

Saber Interactive had previously been handling development

The following month, CD Projekt said nearly a quarter of its development staff (160 people) were working on Cyberpunk 2077’s first expansion.

In comparison, just over a third of the company was working on Cyberpunk 2077’s new-gen console version, which was released this February, as well as support for the original game.

On Wednesday, CD Projekt delayed the new-gen versions of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt again and brought development in-house to complete the project.
