CD Projekt RED proudly announced that Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty has won awards for Best Polish Game and Best Polish Narrative at this year's Digital Dragons.
For those unfamiliar, the Digital Dragons Awards are the oldest and most prestigious awards in the Polish games industry. The winners are selected by the votes of experts appointed to the jury and the entire game development community. The gala, which took place on Monday, May 20, was right in the middle of the three-day-long Game Development Conference, one of the largest events of its kind in Central and Eastern Europe.
The Best Polish Narrative Award was received by Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty Open World Designer Jakub Tomczak and Quest Designer Maria Mazur. The game was also nominated for Best Polish Game Audio, Best Polish Game Visual Art, and Best Polish Game Design awards.
Here's the full list of Digital Dragons winners:
- Best Polish Game - Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty
- Best Polish Game Design - Against the Storm
- Best Polish Game Visual Art - Inkulinati
- Best Polish Game Audio - The Invincible
- Best Polish Narrative - Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty
- Best Polish Mobile Game - Hero Legacy

Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty launched in late September to great reviews, completing the game's comeback alongside the free 2.0 update. I wrote in my review:
Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty builds upon what was an already great game to deliver more fantastic storytelling (with a spy thriller theme, this time around), exciting combat, and very high-quality side content. The perk tree overhaul is a major improvement to progression, and additions like vehicle combat and the overhauled police system are very welcome, albeit not game-changing. If you've been holding out on Cyberpunk 2077 until now, you'll find a huge game with over 120 hours of quality content and an incredibly immersive game world to literally lose yourself in. On top of that, it's by far the most beautiful and technically advanced game available if you have the hardware for it (PC and RTX 40 GPU).
The game went on to sell over five million units in 2023. CD Projekt RED is now busy with the next The Witcher game, but they are also already planning the Cyberpunk 2077 sequel currently codenamed Project Orion. It will be made at their Boston studio, which was recently bolstered by recruiting many high-profile industry veterans.
