All Cyberpunk 2077 updates and free DLC delayed to 2022

By Otto Kratky October 29, 2021

Cyberpunk 2077 developer CD Projekt Red quietly announced today that the game wouldn’t be receiving anymore updates, or anymore of its long-promised free DLC, until next year. The announcement comes just a week after the company announced that next-gen versions of Cyberpunk 2077 and The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt were also delayed to 2022.

The announcement was made through a subtle change to a news post on the game’s website. The header image for the post previously listed other updates for the game, as well as its free DLC, as arriving later this year. However, both have now been tacked on to the latter part of the image, showing that they’re scheduled to arrive in the first quarter of 2022, along with Cyberpunk 2077‘s free next-gen update.

Updates have been a regular fixture of Cyberpunk 2077 since the game’s disastrous launch. Its various hotfixes and patches have solved a majority of the game’s problems and improved performance, although the game still needs work as of its latest update, patch 1.31.

As for free DLC, CD Projekt Red hasn’t won fans over on that front, either. The game received one batch of free DLC in August, with the game’s 1.31 patch. However, it only offered some new clothes for players, new outfits for Johnny Silverhand, and a few new cars for players. In all, fans were left disappointed with the developer’s offerings. It’s not clear what CD Projekt Red is giving players with Cyberpunk 2077‘s second batch of free DLC.

Cyberpunk 2077‘s next-gen update is slated to arrive in the first quarter of 2022, with the same type of update for The Witcher 3 arriving in the second quarter of 2022.

The Witcher is getting a full remake built in Unreal Engine 5

The Witcher

CD Projekt Red has announced a remake of the first game in The Witcher series from the ground up, built using Unreal Engine 5. Polish studio Fool's Theory will be developing the game and there are veterans of the franchise involved in its production. CD Projekt Red is providing full creative supervision for the game.

“The Witcher is where it all started for us, for CD Projekt Red. It was the first game we made, ever, and it was a big moment for us then. Going back to this place and remaking the game for the next generation of gamers to experience it feels just as big, if not bigger,” says studio head Adam Badowski in a statement. “Collaborating with Fool’s Theory on the project is just as exciting, as some of the people there have been previously involved in The Witcher games. They know the source material well, they know how much gamers have been looking forward to seeing the remake happen, and they know how to make incredible and ambitious games. And although it will take some time before we’re ready to share more about and from the game, I know it’ll be worth the wait.”

The world is big and open enough for you to earn your keep in a wide variety of ways, but if you're pressed for time -- or just have your eye on a new weapon, piece of clothing, car, or anything else that you just can't live without -- you will want to know how you can earn that sweet cash as quick as possible.
