As shown off in the teaser trailer for Phantom Liberty, the Cyberpunk 2077 expansion is set for a release date some time in 2023. It will feature a story taking place before the end of Cyberpunk 2077’s main narrative, with V making some sort of deal with a mysterious figure. Not much else is known about what the expansion will look like, but with a vague 2023 release date, there is plenty of time to learn about what new content will be coming to Cyberpunk 2077.

However, it seems that CD Projekt Red isn’t planning any other expansions following Phantom Liberty, though. As spotted in the YouTube comments of the DLC teaser, the Cyberpunk 2077 channel responded to a fan stating they hoped to see more expansions in the future by commenting “as for the future, Phantom Liberty is the only planned expansion for Cyberpunk 2077.” This suggests that CD Projekt Red may be planning Phantom Liberty as the first and last expansion for Cyberpunk 2077, meaning that there won’t be any more big content updates in the future.
This news will likely disappoint many, especially those who played through the Hearts of Stone and Blood and Wine expansions of CD Projekt Red’s previous title, The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt. This may have led fans to believe that Cyberpunk 2077 would follow a similar DLC pattern, but it appears CD Projekt Red may have other ideas. This does not necessarily confirm that Cyberpunk 2077 will only get the one expansion, as plans could change in the future. What it does mean, though, is that players won’t be getting another big DLC for some time after Phantom Liberty launches.
Apart from Phantom Liberty’s confirmation, CD Projekt Red revealed a bunch of other content dropping for Cyberpunk 2077 in version 1.6, its most recent update. There will be tie-ins to Cyberpunk: Edgerunners, including the protagonist of the series David Martinez being a playable character. Also, a transmog system is finally being added, allowing players to walk around Night City in style without sacrificing stats.
Cyberpunk 2077 is out now for PC, PS4, PS5, Stadia, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S. Phantom Liberty is set to release in 2023.
