In a surprising turn of events, Cyberpunk 2077 Update 2.2 will be releasing on December 10, 2024, injecting new life into Night City's neon-soaked streets. This unexpected news follows earlier statements from CD Projekt Red indicating that their focus would be shifting toward The Witcher 4 and a Cyberpunk sequel, leaving many fans doubtful about further enhancements to the original game. Yet, this update demonstrates the studio's commitment to refining their flagship RPG with improved stability, enhanced NPC interactions, and potentially even fresh narrative beats.
