Fans hoping for another reason to jack back into Night City will have to temper their expectations. CD Projekt Red has officially stated that Cyberpunk 2077 will not be receiving any additional downloadable content or expansions, putting to rest speculation that the studio might surprise-drop new material for its futuristic RPG. The confirmation came directly from the game’s official account on X, where the developer responded to a fan inquiry with a definitive statement: the team has no plans for further add-ons, though it promised to keep the community informed should that stance ever change.
The question from the fan appears to have been inspired by swirling rumors that CD Projekt Red is quietly developing a secret DLC for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt — a game that first launched over a decade ago. Recent reports have suggested the rumored Witcher 3 expansion could feature a desert, “Dune-style” location and might arrive sometime later this year. While the studio has neither confirmed nor denied those reports, the contrast between the two franchises’ treatment has not gone unnoticed by the Cyberpunk community.
Unsurprisingly, the announcement drew a wave of disappointment from Cyberpunk 2077’s passionate player base. Many pointed out that with the sequel still years away, there will be a prolonged drought of new Cyberpunk content. As Eurogamer noted, Cyberpunk 2 remains in pre-production, and co-CEO Michał Nowakowski has indicated the game likely won’t see the light of day until at least 2030 — leaving fans with a considerable wait before they can return to the franchise’s dystopian world.
That said, the Cyberpunk universe is far from dormant outside of video games. According to GameSpot, the original game was recently added to Game Pass, a Fortnite collaboration has been teased, and a Cyberpunk 2077 card game developed with WeirdCo is in the works featuring characters from both the game and the Edgerunners anime series. Meanwhile, early details about Cyberpunk 2 have trickled out, including hints of a second playable city described as “Chicago gone wrong” and the revelation that the sequel will include online multiplayer options. Franchise creator Mike Pondsmith has also expressed enthusiasm about finding ways to bring Keanu Reeves back as the iconic Johnny Silverhand.
For now, CD Projekt Red’s primary focus remains squarely on The Witcher franchise. The Witcher 4 is deep in production with a projected launch no earlier than 2027, and the studio has laid out an ambitious six-year roadmap that also includes The Witcher 5, The Witcher 6, and a remake of the original Witcher game being co-developed with Fool’s Theory. The company has also bolstered its ranks by bringing on the cinematic animator from Sandfall Interactive, the studio behind Clair Obscur: Expedition 33.
While the door to new Cyberpunk 2077 adventures appears firmly closed, the Polish developer clearly has no shortage of projects on its plate. For Cyberpunk devotees, the message is clear: the next chapter in Night City’s story will come with a brand-new game — they’ll just need plenty of patience to get there.
