As officially revealed by CDProjekt in April during the presentation of the firm’s financial results, Cyberpunk 2077’s first expansion will arrive in 2023. The Polish studio seems to be maturing its project, which is not to displease us, especially given the somewhat chaotic start of the license. Patience being the mother of virtue, we cannot blame the developer for taking his time to deliver a qualitative extension to us as soon as it is launched.
However, things seem to be progressing: hundreds of dialogue files have been leaked for this future extension. They were accidentally shipped with a game patch and it’s in a subreddit that a dataminer has revealed its analysis of the various elements revealed inadvertently.
There would thus appear a not inconsiderable quantity of dialogues, concerning seven main missions, that would be present in this additional content. The plot would revolve arounda female character named Songbird. The amount of content, customization concerning her in the leaked files assumes that she was present in the initial development of the game and then dedicated to the DLC. Despite a difficult analysis of the dialogues, these being non-contextualized, we could think that the plot will take place in the combat zone of the Pacifica area, hitherto inaccessible. Finally, a new epilogue would involve Hanako Arasaka.
Perhaps CD Projekt will take advantage in future conferences to formalize this information with, we hope, gameplay.
