Phantom Liberty will not be released for PS4/Xbox One because CD Projekt Red is ending new updates for those platforms. The expansion will also feature Keanu Reeves’ Johnny Silverhand.
Cyberpunk 2077 didn’t have the smoothest launch in December 2020, but it went on to sell 20 million copies, making it one of the most commercially successful RPGs in the history of video games.
As for other upcoming projects, CD Projekt is currently developing the next Witcher game, which will run on Epic’s Unreal Engine 5. It is also developing a Cyberpunk 2077 sequel.
