Cyberpunk 2077 Devs Plan Witcher 3-Style Expansions

CD Projekt Red

Cyberpunk 2077 finally has a release date: April 16, 2020, but it seems that's just the beginning for CD Projekt Red's new RPG. Cyberpunk 2077's UI coordinator, Alvin Liu, recently told Prima Games that he expects the game to get expansions after launch, and that they will be just like The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt.

"We want to make sure everything's complete, but we also want to build open worlds," Liu said. "I know when I was playing The Witcher 3 and I finished everything, I still want to know what everyone was up to. I think we're going to have opportunities like that as well for Cyberpunk 2077."

According to Liu, the ending to Cyberpunk 2077 will be "rewarding" to players, who will encounter characters and see them develop over time throughout the game, but the game might still be open for additional storytelling just like The Witcher 3, which offered a lot of free DLC before it released two major paid expansions, Heart of Stone and Blood and Wine.

"So I don't want to spoil anything right now, but very satisfying story arc, right? You're going to see characters and you'll see them develop," he explained. "You're going to see them go through conflicts and resolve those conflicts. It'll be a very rewarding ending. We're not withholding content, we're not withholding story for the future to try to, you know, monetize it or sell it in pieces or anything like that. You're going to get the whole, full value game here."

The developers of Cyberpunk 2077 haven't announced any expansions or post-release content for the game yet.

Cyberpunk 2077 is set to release on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC on April 16, 2020. Keanu Reeves is playing a major role in the game.

CD Projekt Red's The Witcher 3 will be released on the Nintendo Switch.
