CD Projekt Red is apparently sparing no expense for Phantom Liberty. The Cyberpunk 2077 DLC will be the most expensive expansion the Witcher studio has ever developed.
The first and only story DLC for Cyberpunk 2077 will be released sometime in 2023 with Phantom Liberty And while we are currently still waiting for a concrete release date, we know at least for now: Phantom Liberty will be the most cost-intensive and therefore most expensive expansion CD Projekt Red has ever worked on.
At least that”s what CD Projekt Red Investor Relations Manager Marek Bugdol reveals in an interview with Polish magazine (Parkiet). So Phantom Liberty is already breaking an internal studio record and even beating the excellent Blood and Wine expansion for The Witcher 3 in this respect.
We remember: In terms of large story DLC, CD Projekt Red sometimes set standards in the gaming industry. The Witcher 3 expansions Hearts of Stone and Blood and Wine are still among the best add-ons we were able to test at GameStar. Expectations are correspondingly high for Phantom Liberty, which is scheduled for release at a currently unknown date in 2023.
By the way, if you are wondering: Previously, there was a misunderstanding in the Cyberpunk 2077 community due to a wrong interpretation of the Polish interview. In the meantime, there was talk that Phantom Liberty would surpass the developer”s previous DLCs in size and scope as well.
Because of this, community director Marcin Momot, among others, clarified in a post on Reddit and also PR director Radek Grabowski on Twitter that the statement definitely only refers to the budget of Phantom Liberty. Regarding the actual scope of Phantom Liberty, CD Projekt Red will only officially comment at a later date.
*budget-wise, as per the source article.
