Long before Cyberpunk 2077’s embattled release, we already knew that were was post-launch content coming – a lot of it. CD Projekt Red revealed pretty early on that they will follow the post-launch model proven to work by The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt. Here’s everything we know about the upcoming expansions and free content.
What kind of DLC can we expect?
Cyberpunk 2077 will receive a great deal of small DLC packages bringing individual items, cosmetics, minor features and maybe a loose mission or two for free, available to all players who own the game, throughout the upcoming year and beyond.
You shouldn’t expect anything game changing, but additional content is always welcome – it’s free, right? Think new weapons, outfits for V, character customization options and the like. Considering the development cycle of these things, most if not all the content has already been planned out and much already created, but who knows, maybe the most requested features by the community will make it in too. We’d love to be able to customize V after starting the game, for example.
Alongside these free goodies, Cyberpunk 2077’s storyline will continue in at least two major paid expansion packs. If The Witcher 3’s Hearts of Stone and Blood and Wine expansions are any indication, expect entirely new locations, characters and dozens of hours of fresh gameplay. Considering the ending(s) of Cyberpunk 2077 as it is, we can definitely see some major narrative potential.
Due to the thematic importance of Night City, we suspect new locations will focus mostly on the Badlands. That said, CD Projekt Red hasn’t been very forthcoming with information yet.
