Here are the latest updates on the Cyberpunk 2077 DLC release date. When will CD Projekt Red release the first expansion of its troubled action-adventure game?
It has been a rocky journey for Cyberpunk 2077 since its launch back on December 10, 2020. From its early stages after launch to its current state, the title has received numerous patches with hefty file sizes. After more than a year, the dystopian action-adventure can now offer a stable experience with fewer performance issues.
And now the players are curious about the Cyberpunk 2077 DLC release date. With the announcement of a new The Witcher game, most players are wondering if CDPR is done with Cyberpunk 2077.

According to Paweł Sasko, the Quest Director of the game, CDPR acknowledges that “there is still work to be done“. Sasko said that they are still working on the issues of their most recent title during a stream.
So the fans should not be worried at the moment. Even though the Polish video game giant joined forces with Epic Games and changed its game engine, they are not planning to shelve the post-development process of Cyberpunk 2077.
Cyberpunk 2077 DLC Release Date
CD Projekt Red announced that the first expansion of the action-adventure will arrive in 2023. So we will not be able to jump into a whole new adventure in Night City in 2022. They shared an official production plan for their projects back in April.
And based on this roadmap, CD Projekt Red does have a lot on its plate. And it does not seem like they are going to stop working on Cyberpunk 2077 anytime soon. Though this old infographic is rather worrying for CP2077 fans.

Development of the first expansion of CP2077 will start before 2022 ends. CDPR will also initiate the early development stages of the new Witcher game on Unreal Engine 5. An unannounced project based on the existing franchises will start this year as well.
Cyberpunk 2077 Free DLC Leak
Though that does not mean there won’t be anything new. A new Cyberpunk 2077 DLC leak indicates that a batch of new content is on its way.

We know this from an accidental leak coming from the Quest Director Pawel Sasko. During his stream on Twitch, a bookmark titled DLC4 Gigs can be seen easily. We know that CD Projekt Red is not planning to release the first major expansion anytime soon. So this one might be a free DLC that might add new content to the game. It will probably add new side hustles and Night City gigs to the game, hence the name of the spreadsheet.
It is also possible to get some new photo mode angles, new weapons, or even some hot cars. The latest patch updated the game’s version to 1.5 and added new weapon muzzles alongside four new apartments. Various other fixes were also there to improve combat AI and animation quality. We think that the upcoming DLC will bring some new open-world quests to Cyberpunk 2077. This is especially great for those who enjoy completing NCPD Scanner missions.

Poland-based video game developer released a ton of free DLCs following The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt‘s release. Various extra Contracts and missions were later added to the action RPG. Knowing that they need to do a lot more after the disastrous launch of Cyberpunk 2077, we might actually jump into new adventures in the City of Dreams soon.
What to expect from the DLCs?
There is no doubt that Cyberpunk 2077 is still far from the game we have seen in E3 and during other showcases. It is obvious that they had to cut a great amount of content to make the game ready for launch. Even after numerous patches and hotfixes, the dystopian FPS still has game-breaking bugs that damage the immersion. Knowing that they poured passion into the title still makes us think about how great it could be with its amazing potential.
Yet it will be remembered for its disappointing launch and disastrous performance on the last-gen consoles. Even though a comeback like Hello Games’ No Man’s Sky is always possible. For that to happen though, CD Projekt Red should come up with works that are similar to The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt’s DLC packs. Hearts of Stone and Blood and Wine offered such an amazing experience that playing them sure felt like we are playing a whole new The Witcher game.
We currently don’t know the exact Cyberpunk 2077 DLC release date. But we do expect the DLCs to come with new unique weapons, cars, and even a new location. While it is a delight to roam around Night City, we expect to go somewhere else and see another place in 2077. The new expansion packs should focus on the features like Braindance as well. CDPR made a 40 minutes-long stream about the feature only to make us use it only three times throughout the story.

A DLC focusing on the wars between the megacorporations sounds amazing. Taking part in a clash between Arasaka and Militech sounds just as great. But there is also a group of players who want to give life to Johnny Silverhand once again. A Cyberpunk 2077 DLC on Keanu Reeves’ rockerboy can be a thrilling adventure.
Well, here’s what we know about the current DLC plans of CD Projekt Red alongside leaks and confirmations. We hope it turns into that game we have been waiting for all these years. Even though that’s a long shot, we are always hopeful when it comes to gaming.
