Cyberpunk 2077 fans are once again buzzing with excitement after a new piece of evidence suggests that a second DLC may be in the works. While CD Projekt Red has repeatedly stated that Phantom Liberty would be the game’s only expansion, recent activity from partner studio Virtuos has sparked new speculation.
đ§ What Sparked the Rumors?
The latest wave of speculation began when a Reddit user, Free_Carpenter151, shared a LinkedIn profile of a senior writer at Virtuos who lists Cyberpunk 2077 DLC as an ongoing project. The writer, who only joined the company in April 2025, notes that they are working on:
âAnalyzing existing Cyberpunk 2077 character voices to inform writing their dialogue in multiple new side quests,â and
âCoordinating with the narrative designer to conceive, write, and polish side quests for upcoming DLC releases.â
This development is significant because Phantom Liberty, released in 2023, was supposedly the game’s final expansion. However, this new information suggests that Virtuos may be developing fresh content for the game.
đ¤ Virtuos and Update 2.2
This isnât the first time Virtuos has worked on Cyberpunk 2077. In December 2024, the studio helped overhaul the game’s UI as part of the widely praised Update 2.2. Now, with writers actively referencing side quest development and DLC, the community believes there’s more to come from Night City.
đ CD Projekt Redâs Redemption Arc
Cyberpunk 2077 had a rocky start back in 2020, but CD Projekt Red has turned the game around with significant patches, performance improvements, and new content. The game now boasts a “Very Positive” rating on Steam with nearly 750,000 reviews. The release of Phantom Liberty further elevated the gameâs standing, delivering what many consider one of the best RPG expansions in recent years.
Given this turnaround and CDPRâs close partnership with other studios, it wouldn’t be far-fetched for the company to explore more contentâeven if unofficially for now.
đ¨ Nothing ConfirmedâYet
To be clear, CD Projekt Red has not confirmed any plans for a second DLC. But with credible LinkedIn job descriptions and a pattern of silent teases, fans have good reason to remain hopeful.
Could Night City have more stories left to tell? If these findings are accurate, Cyberpunk 2077âs world might not be done expanding just yet. Until CDPR makes an official statement, weâll be watching Virtuosâand LinkedInâvery closely.
