Cyberpunk 2077 is available now and, if you can get the game to run on your system, it tells a complete story. However, CD Projekt Red has DLC planned for the open-world RPG, and earlier said this content was planned for early this year. With the game’s troubled launch, which even included it being pulled from the PlayStation Store, that timetable now looks unlikely. But just when will we get Cyberpunk 2077 DLC?

When will Cyberpunk 2077 DLC release?

In a post on the game’s official website in January 2020, CD Projekt Red outlined a new roadmap for Cyberpunk 2077 in 2021. This roadmap still has free DLC releasing in 2021, but the studio says it wants to address the most pressing issues with Cyberpunk 2077 before it moves onto this content. More information is going to be shared “in the coming months,” but there isn’t a firm timetable for a release date.

The post also lists the free next-gen updates on Xbox Series X|S and PS5 as coming out after this DLC. If you’re waiting for those versions before you play Cyberpunk 2077 at all, that should at least mean all the free DLC will be available by the time those versions are out.

We expect there will likely be paid content to supplement the free DLC eventually, as was the case with The Witcher 3. However, because this content isn’t listed on the roadmap, it will probably be at least a year before we see it. Additionally, a separate team at CD Projekt Red continues to work on a multiplayer component for Cyberpunk 2077, and it’s also not planned to launch until next year at the earliest.

Cyberpunk 2077 has been available on Xbox One, PS4, and PC since December 2020, offering the full single-player Night City experience with Keanu Reeves, tons of side missions, and nearly as many bugs. Despite the game’s rough edges, it’s a fascinating look at the future, and CD Projekt Red has promised there will also be a Cyberpunk multiplayer experience eventually. But just when will we be able to play this, and what will it include?

When is Cyberpunk 2077 getting multiplayer?

If you were hoping to play a Cyberpunk 2077 multiplayer experience soon, then we have some bad news for you: The experience likely isn’t going to release until at least 2022. Though it’s already playable at CD Projekt Red, significant development time remains on the project and it’s being developed separately from the main game. Despite this, it will be available for free to anyone who bought Cyberpunk 2077.

Prior to Cyberpunk 2077’s release, CD Projekt Red said that news on the multiplayer component would come in the first quarter of 2021. Given the problems the game has had since launch and the development timeline for other elements, such as post-launch DLC, this could also be the case for any announcements.

What will Cyberpunk 2077 multiplayer include?

CD Projekt Red has kept the specifics on the Cyberpunk 2077 multiplayer experience under wraps, but apparent leaks from dataminers suggest it could contain a heist gameplay mode. Given the crime system in place in the game already and its mix of on-foot and vehicular gameplay, this seems like a plausible inclusion. However, it has yet to be confirmed officially.

Hitman 3 – Cloud Version for Nintendo Switch will be released on January 20, 2021 – the same day as PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, PC, and Google Stadia.

Announced on Twitter by IO Interactive, Hitman 3 – Cloud Version is the exact same version as the other platforms, but is a cloud-based version that requires a persistent internet connection to play.

Hitman 3 – Cloud Version was revealed at the Nintendo Direct Mini in October 2020 and follows Control’s Cloud Version that was released following that same Nintendo Direct Mini.

Ahead of its release, we were able to get one final preview of Hitman 3, in which we said “Hitman 3’s sandbox is vast and filled with many toys. Sure, it still has some cheesy dialogue and voice acting, as well as some goofy animations, but overall I’m extremely impressed by what I’ve played so far.”

Hitman 3 is the end of the trilogy that began with the first Hitman in 2016. Alongside taking Agent 47 to new locations like Chongqing, this new game will also bring the rendering, animation, and AI upgrades of Hitman 3 to the missions of Hitman 1 and 2, which are available free of charge to owners of the previous entries.

This Saturday has brought along many great PC related deals for you to look at. There are a ton of entire pre-built machines on sale right now, including many that are powered by the latest and greatest RTX 3000 GPUs. If that’s not your thing, we also have a few other nice deals on Final Fantasy Art Books, an LG Ultrawide monitor and more.

The Best Deals for January 16th

[poilib element=”commerceDeal” parameters=”slug=daily-deals-january-16th-2021″]

Dell and Alienware RTX 30XX Gaming PCs

Alienware gaming PCs are generally more expensive than most other brands, but you get what you pay for in terms of quality and customer support. Unlike most other vendors, Dell designs its own cases and cooling systems. Their desktops (especially the entire Alienware lineup) feature great build quality and brand-name components. Dell’s customer service is also considered one of the best in the business, especially if you opt for the higher tiered packages.

HP RTX 30XX Gaming PCs

HP OMEN PCs offer high quality construction at a price that usually beats out most other competitors. Like Dell, HP designs their own chassis. The OMEN 30L and 25L gaming PCs are understated yet very well built. They’ve been around for a while and their customer service is reliable.

RTX 30XX Gaming PCs Sold and Shipped by Amazon

These PCs are sold and shipped by Amazon, not a 3rd party marketplace vendor. Some of these configs show a 1-2 month estimate, although often times you’ll receive it much sooner than expected. That said, Amazon carries very low inventory for the rigs (in some cases less than 10 units) so expect them to sell out very, very quickly. There’s even an ASUS ROG config in here!

Adam Badowski, the studio head of CD Projekt Red, has responded to a recent report regarding Cyberpunk 2077’s alleged fake E3 demo and development issues.

Badowski took to Twitter to respond to certain points of a report by Bloomberg’s Jason Schreier about Cyberpunk 2077, and first addressed the claim that the E3 demo was “entirely fake.”

“It’s hard for a trade show game demo not to be a test of vision or vertical slice two years before the game ships, but that doesn’t mean it’s fake,” Badowski wrote. “Compare the demo with the game. Look at the Dumdum scene or car chase, or the many other things. What the people reading your article may not know is that games are not made in a linear fashion and start looking like the final product only a few months before launch. If you look at that demo now, it’s different yes, but that’s what the ‘work in progress’ watermark is for. Our final game looks and plays way better than what that demo ever was.

[ignvideo url=”https://www.ign.com/videos/cyberpunk-2077-cd-projekts-commitment-to-quality”]

“As for ‘missing’ features, that’s part of the creation process. Features come and go as we see if they work or not. Also, car ambushes exist in the final game almost verbatim to what we showed in the demo. And if we get a bit more granular about our release, the vision we presented in this demo evolved into something that got multiple 9/10s and 10/10s on PC from many renown gaming outlets in the world. As for the old-gen consoles, yes that is another case, but we’ve owned up to that and are working super hard to eliminate bugs (on PC, too – we know that’s not a perfect version either) and we are proud of Cyberpunk 2077 as a game and artistic vision. This all is not what I’d call disastrous.”

Badowski then responded to the claim that many Cyberpunk 2077 developers knew the game would not be ready for release in 2020.

“You’ve talked with 20 people, some being ex employees, only 1 of whom is not anonymous,” Badowski said. “I wouldn’t call that ‘most’ of the over 500-people staff openly said what you claim.”

Lastly, Badowski addressed the claim that Polish-speaking employees would speak Polish in front of non-Polish staffers, which “violated company rules” and made them feel “ostracized.”

“Everyone here speaks English during meetings, every company-wide email and announcement is in English – all that is mandatory,” Badowski explained. “Rule of thumb is to switch to English when there’s a person not speaking a given language in a casual conversation. It is, however, pretty normal for Germans speaking German, Poles speaking Polish, Spaniards speaking Spanish etc. (there are 44 nationalities at the studio, you get the point) when there’s no one else around. We are working in a multicultural environment. If the question is if it’s hard to move to another country, sometimes culture, and work and live there, then the answer is yes. But that’s universal to every company all over the world, and we’re doing what we can to ease that transition.”

Schreier responded to Badowski’s message, saying that “CD Projekt chose not to respond to specific questions or make Badowski available for our article, so it’s interesting to see these comments arriving now.”

[ignvideo url=”https://www.ign.com/videos/2020/12/18/sony-pulls-cyberpunk-2077-from-ps-store-will-offer-refunds”]

He also mentioned that he does regret bringing up the language issue, as it has gotten a “disproportionate amount of attention and is not a particularly big deal,” but also notes that Badowski did not address the “brutal crunch and the unrealistic timeline.”
