Cyberpunk 2077 Expansion Confirmed for 2023 by CD Projekt Red

At long last, CD Projekt Red has announced a 2023 release window for its eagerly-anticipated Cyberpunk 2077 expansion. For many months, the development studio maintained silence about its paid DLC plans for Cyberpunk 2077. The team recently offered somewhat of an update, though, informing players that despite news of the next Witcher game moving to Unreal Engine 5, all of the sci-fi RPG's content, including DLC, will remain tethered to the proprietary REDengine technology.

CD Projekt Red began teasing Cyberpunk 2077 DLC months ahead of the title actually hitting store shelves in December 2020. Such teases hinted the post-launch content support would resemble that of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, complete with free DLC and paid story expansions. Notably, a number of freebies entered the mix earlier this year, thanks to the 1.5 update unlocking access to new apartments, additional customization options, and extra side missions in Cyberpunk 2077. As of now, however, details regarding the long-awaited expansion remain scant at best. And it seems as though CDPR will keep the specifics under lock and key for a little while longer.

Following a financial call wherein CD Projekt Red outlined its production plans for 2022, the official Cyberpunk 2077 account followed up with a post noting that the long-awaited story DLC will launch in 2023. Details about the expansion, including its content and a firm due date, presently remain unknown to the public. More information concerning Cyberpunk 2077's future content release should go live later this year, though. The Twitter post in question reads as follows:

Thus far, the response from fans seems tepid at best, with some willing to wait for a quality product while others question the length of time between the main game's and expansion's respective releases. That this news comes on the heels of an indefinite delay to The Witcher 3's next-gen update ruffled a few feathers, as well. All in all, however, most would likely agree that CD Projekt Red taking its time on both projects is for the best, especially after Cyberpunk 2077's troubled launch nearly two years ago.

Fan theories about what the expansion will entail have inundated the web for quite some time. A fair few posit that CD Projekt Red will expand upon one of Cyberpunk 2077's multiple endings. Others believe Jackie Welles' story could use deeper exploration. Whatever the case may be, it's clear that many remain eager to go on one more adventure through the neon-lit streets of Night City.

CBS' Ghosts: Every Main Ghost Time Period & Backstory Explained

One of CBS' newest sitcoms,  Ghosts , features a cast full of spectral characters that each hail from a distinct time period and come with their own unique backstory and death. Though each of the eight ghosts has a wildly different perspective based on their different experiences throughout history, they nonetheless form a sort of family, which is one of the show's greatest charms. After all, being stuck with the same people for all of eternity allows for plenty of time to get to know each other. Ghosts , which is an adaptation of a BBC show of the same name, stars Utkarsh Ambudkar and Rose McIver (who played Liv Moore on five seasons of  iZombie ) as Jay and Sam, a young couple who inherit a mansion in upstate New York. To their surprise, however, the house also comes with several ghostly inhabitants, who Sam is able to see after a near-death experience. These are Thorfinn (Devan Long), Sasappis (Román Zaragoza), Isaac (Brandon Scott Jones), Hetty (Rebecca Wisocky...

The Hateful Eight's Original Ending Explained (& Why Tarantino Changed It)

The Hateful Eight has an ending full of blood and betrayal, as expected from any Quentin Tarantino movie, but this wasn’t the original ending – here’s why he changed it. Tarantino has explored different genres throughout his career; though he’s best known for his crime movies like Reservoir Dogs and Pulp Fiction , he's also visited genres like martial arts (with both Kill Bill  films) and black comedy ( Once Upon a Time in Hollywood ). In addition, he's shared his version of westerns with Django Unchained and The Hateful Eight , with the latter going through some problems and creative changes even before it began shooting. Set in 1870, Tarantino's The  Hateful Eight follows eight strangers, all with different (and secret) motivations, who end up in a stagecoach lodge after seeking refuge from a blizzard. These characters are Major Marquis Warren (Samuel L. Jackson), John “The Hangman” Ruth (Kurt Russell), Daisy Domergue (Jennifer Jason Leigh), Chris Mannix (Walton Gog...

Why Spider-Man 3's Uncle Ben Retcon Doesn't Change Peter's Origin

Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man 3 is often criticized for a major retcon made to Uncle Ben’s death , but this retcon ultimately doesn’t change Peter Parker’s classic origin story. Raimi’s third film in the iconic Spider-Man trilogy is often criticized, perhaps unfairly. While the film suffers from too many character arcs and plot threads and would have been better as two or three separate films, it does a more than adequate job adapting the Spider-Man comics and telling a sincere story about relatable, flawed, characters who are intertwined with the extraordinary, just as Stan Lee and Steve Ditko intended when co-creating the character. Uncle Ben’s retconned death may alter classic elements from the comic version, but it retains its most important aspects in regards to Peter’s characterization. 2002’s Spider-Man is, for much of the film’s first half, a faithful adaptation of Spider-Man’s 1962 origin story in issue 15 of the Amazing Fantasy comics. An awkward social pariah, Pete...
