Unexpected Return: Cyberpunk 2077 Gets a Surprise Final Update
Once believed to be finished and complete, Cyberpunk 2077 is making headlines again — and not just for its latest release on Nintendo Switch 2. Despite CD Projekt’s previous statements suggesting the game’s development was wrapping up, fans are now in for an unexpected treat: a secret, final patch for the beloved (or controversial) sci-fi RPG.
Announcing Patch 2.3: A Hidden Surprise from the Developers
CD Projekt has officially announced that patch 2.3 is on its way to Cyberpunk 2077. Paweł Sasko, the Associate Game Director at CD Projekt working on Cyberpunk 2, shared on social media, “We have been cooking for you in secret for a bit.” He added a personal touch, saying, “As usual, I’m taking care of the update myself, and we will share more details when it’s ready. Much love, chooms 🥰.”
What Could Be Included in the New Patch?
The developers have not yet revealed the specific contents of patch 2.3. However, considering the substantial updates introduced in December 2024’s patch 2.2 — which included expanded customization options, more frequent appearances of Johnny Silverhand (played by Keanu Reeves), and new secrets to uncover — fans are already brimming with anticipation.
Speculation suggests that patch 2.3 might introduce new quests, characters, or gameplay features that further enrich the Cyberpunk universe. Fans are eagerly awaiting more concrete details, which CD Projekt promises to share later this month.
Additional Developments and Future Plans
The announcement coincides with the release of Cyberpunk 2077 on Nintendo Switch 2, signaling ongoing efforts to bring the game to new platforms. Additionally, the company recently confirmed that work has begun on Cyberpunk 2, with development currently in pre-production. However, don’t hold your breath for a quick release — the new installment is expected to launch sometime between late 2029 and early 2031.
The Still-Alive Cyberpunk 2077
Despite being five years old, Cyberpunk 2077 continues to receive support, updates, and new content. It remains a game with a lot to offer, proving that even after its rocky launch, it still captures the imagination of gamers around the world.
