FULL STORY
======================================================================

CD Projekt has confirmed that no matter how good Phantom Liberty s sales are, 
there won't be any more expansions for Cyberpunk 2077 . This is partly down 
to a technological decision, according to CD Projekts SVP of business 
development, Micha Nowakowski. 

As VGC reports , in a quarterly earnings call on Wednesday, 30 August, CD 
Projekt was quizzed on how well Phantom Liberty would have to sell in order 
for the company to be convinced to make a second expansion. However, 
Nowakowski was clear that this wasn't a consideration at all. 

The decision has actually been made, Nowakowski said. As we have announced a 
long time ago, were not going to make a second or third expansion. This is 
the only expansion of the game, and it has nothing to do with the numbers and 
how satisfied or not we are with sales or anything of the kind. 

Its a technological decision, to be honest, he explained. This is the last 
time were working on the Red Engine for the time being at least, and in the 
foreseeable future as you know we are working on the Unreal Engine from Epic. 
This was one of the key reasons why we decided this was the only one. 

 Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty is set to release on September 26, 
exclusively on PC, PS5 , and Xbox Series X |S. Even for those who arent 
planning on buying the expansion, though, a handful of new features (such as 
vehicle combat and an overhauled police system) will be added to the base 
game for free as part of the 2.0 update. However, this will also only be 
available to those playing on current-gen consoles and PC. 

Even though Cyberpunk 2077 isnt getting any more expansions beyond Phantom 
Liberty , a second game in the series has been confirmed - currently 
codenamed Orion , its set to continue harnessing the potential of this dark 
future universe. Right now, its not clear when fans can expect it to release.
