A leak suggests that a new story DLC for Cyberpunk 2077 may be in the works. Despite its troubled launch, Cyberpunk 2077 has become one of the most significant titles in gaming over the past five years, thanks to continuous updates and improvements from CD Projekt Red. The game was initially criticized for its numerous bugs and lack of depth, but it has since evolved into a well-regarded experience, particularly following the release of its first and only DLC, Phantom Liberty, which sold over 10 million copies.
Phantom Liberty allowed players to explore a new section of Night City, called Dogtown, where they navigated a conspiracy against the President. Initially, CD Projekt Red indicated that this DLC would be the last for Cyberpunk 2077, as the company looked to shift focus to new projects, including a Cyberpunk sequel and The Witcher 4. However, recent developments suggest that more content may be on the horizon.
Fans exploring social media noticed a post from a Virtuous employee, a developer that collaborates with various gaming studios, claiming to have worked on Cyberpunk 2077 DLC since April 2025. This employee’s LinkedIn profile indicates they served as a Senior Writer, analyzing character dialogue to develop new side quests. They also mentioned collaborating with the game’s Narrative Designer on crafting and refining this content.
Though CD Projekt Red is hosting a live stream to celebrate the Nintendo Switch 2 launch, they’ve clarified that new DLC discussion will not be part of this event. Fans remain hopeful that information regarding additional content might surface at upcoming events like Summer Game Fest. The involvement of Virtuous at this stage suggests the creation of new side quests might be nearing completion, though fans should remain cautious about these developments until more details are confirmed.
The potential for a new Cyberpunk 2077 DLC excites players, especially as the wait for a sequel may be lengthy. Fans can look forward to another adventure in Night City, reigniting their passion for the rich narrative and vibrant world of Cyberpunk 2077.
