Earlier today, the official Cyberpunk 2077 Twitter account promoted the upcoming Night City Wire broadcast, teasing that surprises were in store for anyone who viewed it. The Cyberpunk 2077 Night City Wire broadcast was first announced earlier this month and the popular assumption is that some kind of DLC news will be announced during the stream. Whether these assumptions prove to be correct, however, remains to be seen.The development history behind Cyberpunk 2077 is a long and involved one. The first teaser trailer for the game was released all the way back in early 2013 before the game was finally released in late 2020 to a mountain of controversy regarding its performance issues. This indefinitely delayed any DLC plans CD Projekt Red had for the game but at long last, it appears that a DLC announcement may be coming for Cyberpunk 2077.CD Projekt Red has been teasing DLC for its latest game for quite some time. The first noticeable tease for Cyberpunk 2077 DLC came in mid-August, and it was assumed that the announcement would come at Gamescom which did not happen. During an earnings call, however, the company revealed that the marketing for the DLC for the game would happen at some point during the second half of the year. While this doesn't confirm anything, it does make it more likely that an announcement will happen during the stream.
When Cyberpunk 2077 was released in 2020 it was savaged by critics for its technical performance. As mentioned above, this led the company to indefinitely delay its plans for any and all DLC as it worked to fix the game's various technical issues. As of this writing, a 1.6 Patch is currently in the works and could possibly be released alongside the planned DLC. However, story details for Cyberpunk 2077's DLC were leaked earlier this year, cutting out some surprises for the long-delayed content.
In addition to the Cyberpunk 2077 content, CD Projekt Red is also working on a new Witcher game. The Witcher franchise did extremely well for the company and saw an extra boost in sales following the release of the Witcher Netflix series, which saw the company's stock hit new heights. Following Cyberpunk 2077's release, however, CD Projekt Red's stock has fallen by over 75%. The stock prices peaked at $31 a share in late 2020 and currently sell at $4.19 a share. Whether a new DLC announcement for the latest game will help the company bounce back remains to be seen.
Cyberpunk 2077 is available now on PC, PS4, PS5, Stadia, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
