CDPR confirms that the first plot expansion of Cyberpunk 2077, Shadow of the past, is a paid DLC.

CTOnews.com, November 15 (Xinhua)-- the first plot expansion of Cyberpunk 2077, Shadow of the past, will be launched in 2023, and developer CDPR has now confirmed that the expansion will be a paid DLC.

In comments provided to foreign media GamesRadar+, Radek Grabowski, CDPR's global director of public relations, said: "as for the pricing of the expansion, we cannot disclose the exact details, but it will be paid for."

In this way, Cyberpunk 2077 will follow the practice of "Wizard 3", packaging some small decorative content as free DLC, while those with large plot content as paid DLC, it is not clear whether Cyberpunk 2077 will launch a similar "version of the year" integration package.

In addition, Grabowski confirmed that the paid DLC of Cyberpunk 2077 will be cheaper than full-price games.

CTOnews.com learned that Cyberpunk 2077 was by far one of the most controversial games in the gaming industry, and there were so many problems with its launch that it was removed from PlayStation Store shortly after its release. CD Projekt gave players a refund and was fiercely criticized. However, with the popularity of the adapted animation "Cyberpunk: marginal Walker" and the continuous optimization of the game itself, sales and word-of-mouth have rebounded.

CD Projekt is currently planning to launch a number of new games, including a sequel to Cyberpunk 2077, codenamed Orion, which is expected to provide online multiplayer features, as well as a remake of the original Wizards game with Unreal engine 5, as well as a new Wizards trilogy in the works.
