Like many of CD Projekt RED's games, 's DLC contains a great number of excellently concealed Easter eggs, hidden details, and subtle pop-culture references. Although some of 's secrets are easily discovered, others are incredibly hard to uncover — this, however, is part of the fun. While simple awareness of a reference is rewarding, having to spend a great deal of time and effort in locating an Easter egg amplifies the reward.
Yes, Phantom Liberty and patch 2.0 really are Cyberpunk 2077's 'last big updates' and it's finally time to start the sequel, director confirms
27.09.2023 - 19:15 / pcgamer.com / Gabe Amatangelo / Johnny Silverhand / And It
Cyberpunk 2077 is, finally, having its big launch moment. On Tuesday, buoyed by the 2.0 patch and expansion Phantom Liberty, the game hit its highest peak playercount since 2020. We loved Phantom Liberty, saying in our review that it's "CD Projekt firing on all cylinders to tell a great RPG story." It's been a long but impressive comeback for Cyberpunk, and the fact that the game is finally getting universal praise made me wonder if CD Projekt was reconsidering its plan to move on to a new game. After all, The Witcher 3's Hearts of Stone was good, but Blood & Wine was even better…
But no, this really, truly is it, game director Gabe Amatangelo said in an interview with PC Gamer on Wednesday. «2.0 and Phantom Liberty are the last big updates. We'll do a little something more, but those are the last big ones,» he confirmed.
There are still some bugs for CD Projekt to clean up in Cyberpunk 2.0, like the one I wrote about on Monday that caused Johnny Silverhand's glitchy effect to «stick» on my screen. CD Projekt told me it's working on a fix for that one, and I'm sure there's more to be done. But in terms of expansions, features, and systems reworks? Cyberpunk 2077 is donezo. Once those little bits are wrapped up?
«Then it's Cyberpunk 2. Or 'Orion,' I should say, whatever we end up naming it,» Amatangelo told me.
It's the answer I expected—after all, CD Projekt has been working on this one game for about a decade now, between initial development, post-launch fixes and the expansion. I'm sure even a sequel will feel like a liberating fresh start after spending so long with this one project. Now I'm wondering when the sequel will be set—will it jump further into the future, or jump back to 2045, the time period of the latest Cyberpunk tabletop rulebook?
Either way, I hope they're already talking to Studio Trigger about the next anime tie-in. Maybe next time it will coincide with the release of the new game, rather than dropping nearly two years later. Then again, Edgerunners did turn out to be exactly the shot in the arm Cyberpunk needed to get fans back on board.

Want to try a new playstyle in Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty? Here's the director's 'warlock netrunner' build
When it comes to cyberpunk, I'm a simpleton: I'm always chasing the initial radioactive wave of cool that emanated from the pages of William Gibson's Neuromancer and its prequel short story Johnny Mnemonic. When I saw the monowire cyberware in Cyberpunk 2077, I knew it was the weapon for me, and I was even more excited when Cyberpunk director Gabe Amatangelo recommended a particular monowire build to me, capitalizing on all the changes to Cyberpunk's skill system in 2.0 and Phantom Liberty, in an interview this week.
