With the state of affairs for some video games being pushed back due to the ongoing pandemic, CD Projekt<\/em> Red<\/em>, creators of Cyberpunk 2077<\/strong> believe they will still be releasing their next adventure this September. In a Q&A translated by VGC<\/a>, CD Projekt President Adam Kici\u0144ski<\/em> also confirms that the DLC content will be massive.Witcher 3: Wild Hunt<\/em> massive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt had two full story expansions plus 16 DLC packs to boot, a whopping 45 hours of content<\/a>. CD Projekt also revealed the DLC packs and the story expansions 3 months before the release date and a few weeks prior to launch, respectively. Kici\u0144ski said to expect \u201ca similar scenario\u201d in regards to the reveal of Cyberpunk\u2019s DLC and\/or expansions to come.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWith Witcher 3 the game got better with quality of life updates for the community as well, like how we improved the UI and things like that.\u201d<\/p>– Level Designer Max Pears<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt dropped two free pieces of DLC content every week for 2 months following it\u2019s release. The content in those DLCs ranged from quests, weapons, armor, cosmetics, and a New Game + mode. The two story expansions were released 6 months and a year after its release but added an additional 30 hours of gameplay into the life of the game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve learnt from that and that is the strategy for how we\u2019ll apply DLC to Cyberpunk as well. We\u2019ll look to take what we\u2019ve learnt from Witcher 3 and apply that.\u201d<\/p>– Max Pears<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Kici\u0144ski said that there will be \u201cno less DLC\u2019 than the Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, which leads us to believe there will be even more to explore come this September (we all hope). DLCs and expansions can be a great way to extend a game\u2019s shelf life. It\u2019s also a great way to dive deeper into a story, see what the fans like and love and give more to that idea. When done right, these additions can make a great game greater. When done wrong, it could fall on it\u2019s face and look like a money grab. That being said, my money is on CD Projekt Red hitting another home-run with Cyberpunk 2077. Especially when they have Keanu Reeves<\/strong> involved in the project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

An open-world<\/a>, action-adventure story set in Night City, a megalopolis obsessed with power, glamour and body modification. You play as V, a mercenary outlaw going after a one-of-a-kind implant that is the key to immortality. You can customize your character\u2019s cyberware, skillset and playstyle, and explore a vast city where the choices you make shape the story and the world around you. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

CD Projekt<\/em> Red<\/em> intends to release Cyberpunk 2077<\/strong> on September 17th of this year. Although they don\u2019t see this being a launch title, they do plan on this title being a full blown Next-Gen game for both the Xbox Series X and PS5. Is this a game you\u2019ll be getting on day one?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
