Cyberpunk 2077 DLC is officially finished. CD Projekt Red has issued a clear, unambiguous statement — “We have no plans for additional DLCs or expansions” — putting an end to speculation about a secret content drop that had been circulating online. The studio’s position is about as firm as it gets, and it arrives at an interesting moment: Cyberpunk 2077 is heading to Nintendo Switch 2 on June 5 in its Ultimate Edition form, and a collaboration with the game Wuthering Waves is planned for 2026. Night City is not going dark, but it is done growing.
Why the Cyberpunk 2077 DLC Door Is Closed for Good
The story of Cyberpunk 2077 DLC is really a story of a studio that had to choose between ambition and survival. When the game launched in a state that drew widespread criticism, CD Projekt Red made the call to cancel a planned moon-based expansion — complete with concept art, blueprints, and map data already in development — to focus resources on fixing the base game. That decision shaped everything that followed. Phantom Liberty, the single major expansion that did ship in September 2023, has sold over 10 million copies and stands as one of the more successful pieces of paid DLC in recent memory. It was a focused, high-quality bet, and it paid off.
What never came back was the broader expansion roadmap. The moon DLC stayed canceled, and now CD Projekt Red has made clear that nothing else is coming either. For players hoping that the 2026 Wuthering Waves collaboration might signal a broader return to Night City content, the studio’s statement is a cold correction. The collab is happening, but the details have not been revealed yet — and whatever it involves, it is not a new story chapter or map expansion.
The Scrapped Moon DLC and What It Means for Cyberpunk 2
The canceled moon expansion is more than a footnote. Cyberpunk 2 creative director Igor Sarzyński addressed the scrapped content in March 2026, responding to a question about a canceled Songbird romance option with a telling comment: “let’s just say we try to never tread the same path twice.” It is a carefully worded non-answer, but it strongly implies that ideas from the canceled Cyberpunk 2077 content — including potentially the moon setting — could find their way into the sequel rather than being discarded entirely.
Cyberpunk 2, known internally by the codename Project Orion, has moved into preproduction. Sarzyński’s comment about not repeating the same path also extended to structural decisions, referencing a desire to avoid an extended opening act — a critique that some players had of Cyberpunk 2077’s slow start. Whether the moon DLC concept resurfaces in that project remains speculation, but the creative director’s framing suggests the studio views its unused ideas as assets rather than dead ends.
Is a Witcher 3 Expansion Actually Happening?
While CD Projekt Red has been explicit about Cyberpunk 2077 DLC being finished, the studio has been conspicuously quiet on a separate set of rumors: a potential third expansion for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt. The two existing Witcher 3 expansions — Hearts of Stone and Blood and Wine — are widely regarded as among the best DLC releases in gaming history, which makes the prospect of a third installment genuinely exciting rather than just noise. Rumors have been circulating for 2026, but there has been no official confirmation from CD Projekt Red.
The silence is notable because the studio is simultaneously managing expectations around an entirely new Witcher trilogy, with the first game in that series targeted for release by 2027. Returning to Witcher 3 for a third expansion while also building the foundation of three new games in six years would be an enormous undertaking. The studio has not denied the Witcher 3 expansion rumors the way it has denied Cyberpunk 2077 DLC speculation — and that asymmetry is worth paying attention to.
Is Phantom Liberty the last major Cyberpunk 2077 expansion?
Yes. CD Projekt Red has confirmed there are no plans for additional DLCs or expansions for Cyberpunk 2077. Phantom Liberty, released in September 2023 and having sold over 10 million copies, remains the only major paid expansion for the game.
What is Cyberpunk 2 and when does it release?
Cyberpunk 2, codenamed Project Orion, is the sequel to Cyberpunk 2077 currently in preproduction at CD Projekt Red. No release date has been announced. Creative director Igor Sarzyński has indicated the team is drawing on lessons from the first game and will not repeat the same structural choices.
Will Witcher 3 get a third expansion?
CD Projekt Red has not confirmed or denied a third Witcher 3 expansion, despite rumors pointing to a possible 2026 release. The studio has remained silent on the subject, in contrast to its clear denial of further Cyberpunk 2077 DLC — a distinction that has kept fan speculation alive.
CD Projekt Red is in a transitional moment: one flagship RPG has been officially closed off, a sequel is in early development, and a beloved older game may or may not be getting new life. The studio’s willingness to be direct about Cyberpunk 2077 DLC while staying quiet on Witcher 3 tells you something about where its priorities — and perhaps its surprises — lie. Night City’s story is told. The question now is what comes next, and whether CD Projekt Red can build on the hard lessons of 2077 rather than repeat them.
