What’s Next for Cyberpunk 2077?
As for Cyberpunk 2077, the game has certainly gone through a lot since launch. The title premiered in December 2020 with a number of infamous glitches and visual nerfs. However, in part thanks to its anime, the video game has flourished into a top-tier title. In 2023, Cyberpunk 2077 dropped its first DLC with Phantom Liberty that was met with high praise. Now, CD Projekt Red is looking to the future, and we have a sequel to thank.
In 2022, the sequel to Cyberpunk 2077 was announced, and we got a big update on the project back in February 2024. The game is now being developed with director Gabe Amatangelo on board. So if you want more Cyberpunk, the team at CD Projekt Red has your back.
