CD Projekt RED Confirms No Further Cyberpunk 2077 Expansions as Development Shifts to Project Orion Sequel and The Witcher 4 Polaris RPG Projects
The developers at CD Projekt RED announced their decision against further expanding Cyberpunk 2077. CD Projekt RED (CDPR) has brought an end to the expansion rumors about Cyberpunk 2077 which started in March 2026. The studio announced that they would not create new story content for the 2020 game after five years of ongoing rumors about its development.
The developers confirmed to a question about their active work on new expansions after the studio learned about the ongoing rumors. The people who follow the Expansion 2 rumors will receive confirmation about its end after Phantom Liberty launched. The company stated that they would inform the public about development roadmap changes through official channels because current plans do not allow for first game content creation.
The CDPR team dedicates its full resources to two major internal projects. The company chose this strategy because they want to speed up the development process of their upcoming RPG games.
The Cyberpunk sequel (codenamed Project Orion) has entered full production for its first game sequel according to current development status. The studio operates two development teams who create the next Witcher game (Project Polaris). The Witcher 3 game will receive one last update according to industry insiders despite Cyberpunk 2077 no longer receiving expansions. CD Projekt plans to launch a minor DLC for the third Witcher game which will serve as a plot connection to The Witcher IV. This bridge will provide fans with a transition period until the next major fantasy game arrives.
The CD Projekt RED company announced the end of Cyberpunk 2077 development after they finished multiple years of patch work and technical improvements and successful Phantom Liberty deployment. Night City players who want new content must wait for the sequel while the studio focuses its team on upcoming RPG projects.
