We still don't know the exact scope of Cyberpunk: Phantom Liberty, but the upcoming expansion has an even bigger budget than The Witcher 3's Blood and Wine.
that Cyberpunk's Phantom Liberty expansion would be the studio's largest post-launch add-on to date—in terms of budget. CD Projekt global PR director Radek Grabowski was quick to emphasize this point on, cooling a rush of speculation that the long-awaited expansion would surpass The Witcher 3's highly regarded Blood and Wine in size and scope.
CDPR has an excellent track record of post-launch additions to its games. The enhanced editions of The Witchers aside, The Witcher 3's Hearts of Stone and Blood and Wine remain a high water mark for videogame expansion packs. That latter DLC especially is a tough act to follow, a $20 add-on that included an entirely new open world zone, Gwent faction, and substantial main quest line.
After Cyberpunk 2077's long marketing cycle and subsequent blowback, CDPR's been keeping its cards close to the chest, but I'd be thrilled even if Phantom Liberty was something more in-between Hearts of Stone and Blood and Wine in scope. That first expansion remains my personal favorite of the two, boasting inventive multipart quests, a fascinating story, and one of the best villains I've ever seen in a game.
Full voice acting from Idris Elba and Keanu Reeves definitely goes some of the way toward explaining Phantom Liberty's expanded budget, and games are just taking more time and money to make in general these days. I've got high hopes for Phantom Liberty though, I want it to take after Hearts of Stone in showing off CDPR's capacity for weird, thoughtful, and surprising storytelling,
