Cyberpunk 2077 will get expanded later this year with the Phantom Liberty expansion, and it sounds like fans of the open-world role-playing game by CD Projekt Red will be in for a threat, as it will be the studio's largest expansion to date.
Speaking with Polish publication Parkiet, as spotted by Reddit user pablo397 CD Projekt Red IR Manager Marek Bugdoł revealed that the expansion will be the studio's biggest yet, which is definitely exciting, considering it should be bigger than the massive Blood and Wine expansion of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt.
