A dataminer claims to have discovered subtitles for an upcoming Cyberpunk 2077 growth within the February patch that introduced CD Projekt’s underwhelming open-world recreation as much as model 1.5. An archive containing textual content information, principally of English dialogue however some in Polish, has been uploaded to a number of subreddits, together with r/GamingLeaksAndRumours (opens in new tab).
Contained in the archive are folders known as “quest” and “open_world”, the second of which has subfolders for “fixers”, “mini_world_stories”, “scene”, “street_stories”, and “world_encounters”. The textual content lays out a storyline and associated sidequests that start with V infiltrating the Fight Zone, an space of Evening Metropolis that wasn’t beforehand explored in Cyberpunk 2077.
The questgiver is a netrunner utilizing the identify Songbird who hacks into V’s head and quickly replaces Johnny Silverhand, which looks as if a handy means of explaining Keanu Reeves’ absence. Presumably getting him again into the recording sales space for even a sizeable DLC would not be value the fee.
Whereas the meat and potatoes of this growth looks as if a facet story, there are additionally information regarding Cyberpunk 2077’s endings, suggesting that in the event you play via it you’ll be able to unlock a special model of at the very least considered one of them. All of it seems fairly legit, nevertheless it’s additionally most likely an excerpt from a work-in-progress that would change drastically by the point it is executed, and is presently scheduled for a 2023 release.
Earlier this yr CD Projekt joint CEO Adam Kiciński reiterated that Cyberpunk 2077 expansions were still in development, saying, “I can affirm we’re engaged on expansions; nothing’s modified right here.” Nevertheless, the announcement of the next Witcher game talked about “the upcoming Cyberpunk 2077 growth” within the singular, and through a CD Projekt Q1 2022 outcomes convention Kiciński also seemed to refer to a “Cyberpunk expansion” (opens in new tab). Redditors who had been anticipating two add-ons are usually not taking the concept there’ll solely be one properly, although it is totally potential they’re studying an excessive amount of into inconsistent plural utilization by non-native English audio system. We’ll have to attend and see.
