Cyberpunk 2077 started with huge expectations, deservedly crashed to the ground after a more than disappointing start, and has since steadily improved to become what it was meant to be from the start. A few months ago, we defined it as a redemption path that reminds us a lot of the one we lived a few years ago with No Man’s Sky, which tells about developers rushing to choose the release date of their games. , who, however, are able to accept their mistake and, with a pickaxe in hand, start working persistently to undo everything they did wrong at the beginning.

As of today, we know that CD Projekt Red is working on Phantom Liberty, a paid expansion that will hit the market in 2023 and that will add several hours to the plot of the original game. This is expected to be the only paid DLC for Cyberpunk 2077. And what we learned from IGN is that they will start working on something long-awaited after the release of this expansion.

i mean of course launch of the GOTY (Game of the Year) edition., which was confirmed by Adam Kiciński, president and co-CEO of CD Projekt Red, during a recent conference call with the company’s investors. «It’s the natural order of things“, he claimed. «The same thing happened with The Witcher, which after two expansions was eventually released as a Game of the Year edition and has been on the market ever since. The same can be expected in this case.«.

So we can be clear that Cyberpunk 2077 GOTY Edition will follow in the sign of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt. Additionally, since Phantom Liberty will only arrive on PC and next-gen consoles (another example of the lessons learned after the original game’s release), we can assume that exactly the same will happen with this GOTY edition, which will leave the PlayStation 4 and the PlayStation 4 behind them. Xbox One , consoles unable to offer the necessary performance for the proper operation of the game.

Although we already confirmed with the arrival of the Cyberpunk 2077 update for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S that Cyberpunk 2077 has finally reached the state we have hoped for since its launch, the future arrival of the GOTY edition marks a new and important milestone. in the story of a game that was destined to go down in history at the time, having terribly disappointing beginnings, but now shining with its own light.
