Technological limitations stopped the CD Projekt RED from bringing any more expansion of Cyberpunk 2077

In a recent meeting with investors, CD Projekt RED announced that Phantom Liberty will be the last expansion of Cyberpunk 2077 title. When asked about the chances of further expansions, Michal Nowakowski, from CD Projekt RED said that the team decided not to bring any more expansion because of technological limitations.

However, the company announced in March that they had entered into a 15-year partnership with Epic, shifting their focus to Unreal Engine projects.

CD Projekt RED is currently working with other external studios as well, apart from their own in-house projects. According to the sources, there might be a sequel for Cyberpunk 2077, as well as a new Witcher title. Developers previously announced that for the next Witcher installment, they will start using Unreal Engine 5. They decided to bring more content to the game’s open-world platform. In fact, the company used its own REDengine for the development of The Witcher 2.
