CD Projekt Red's senior vice president Michal Nowakowski reveals that the studio planned to release three Cyberpunk 2077 expansions but two of them were cancelled due to technical reasons.
Agreed, bummer to see cancelled rather than delayed. That makes me think the technical reasons were either really difficult to overcome game breakers, or a complete scapegoat. “Technically we didn’t want to put the time or money into these” style
Hadn’t they been forward about this earlier? They canceled the 2 DLCs to focus on the follow up to CP2077 and the new Witcher IPs. Something to do with their old game engine, which they said proved harder to work with than expected, and moving onto an off the shelf engine.
Edit: here’s the Ars Techina article about it from Sept. 2023.
