Cyberpunk 2077 is one of the most anticipated games of the year, and while it looks like its December 10 release date won’t be postponed again, we’ve now heard that the game’s DLC won’t be released as soon as planned.
CD Projekt Red president Adam Kiciński told investors that “the initial plan was to do it before launch, but after the recent delay, we decided to wait for the launch to provide the game to players and then start talking about projects. futures. So after launch “(via Seeking Alpha).
There does not appear to have been any change to the free nature of these expansions, in the same way that The Witcher 3 received free DLC after launch, although the studio’s difficulties in finishing the base game this year make the DLC delay unremarkable. surprising.
However, waiting to reveal DLC plans may be best for CD Projekt Red in the long run, allowing for continued marketing pushes that keep the game on players’ minds after launch, as with Smash’s DLC fighters. Ultimate Bros that are added to the game every few. months. We hope this DLC will contain optional content like side missions, as well as new customization options, weapons, and skins to use in the game.
Of course, The Witcher 3 also got some paid expansions, so we wouldn’t be surprised to see a mix and match of paid and non-paid content in the works.
Release Date: 2077?
Cyberpunk 2077 was originally scheduled to launch in April 2020, but had a considerable delay of five months to ensure development was complete. That was then extended to a seven-month delay, with an additional month to take the final release date as December 10, a full eight months after the game was expected to ship for the first time.
Game development is a tough business, of course, and we’re always more interested in a finished game than a timely one. At the very least, Cyberpunk 2077’s reported scale will keep us busy whenever we get our hands on it, and the delay for much of this year meant we paid more attention to other equally valuable titles that might have been swept away by neon. hype of this extensive open world game.
There’s plenty to do for CD Projekt Red, even after launch, including the promised next-gen iterations of the game for PS5 and Xbox Series X.
But at this point, with just a couple of weeks to wait at the time of this writing, there doesn’t seem to be any further delay coming, and we’ll have to shake up the DLC plans a bit if that means we don’t have to wait. more for the main experience.
