Details of Cyberpunk 2077DLC have Been Discovered - and a lot is coming

CD Projekt RED may be preparing up to 10 new downloadable content (DLC) for Cyberpunk 2077, breathing more life into the already massive but flawed game.

This is according to a leak by data enthusiast PricklyAssassin on Reddit, which states that the Epic Games Store (EGS) recently updated the server space allocated to Cyberpunk 2077 from 100GB to 500GB. The leak also states that EGS had listed 18 free DLCs in February, but reduced the number to 10 earlier this week.

Prickly Assassin also provided multiple screenshots as evidence, hinting at future DLC. The leaker has reportedly known this information since February, but has decided to make it public now.

According to Dataminer, the upcoming DLC is listed as follows:

The leaker also states that three paid DLCs have been added to the list, but no prices or names have been revealed yet. What is interesting is that two of the free DLC updates have similar names to the two official promotional videos released prior to the launch of Cyberpunk 2077; according to Prickly Assassin, these two DLCs will probably be released with the base game in December 2020. They were supposed to be released, but the developer allegedly "didn't have time."

The leak received a lot of backlash, with many questioning the reliability of the original source. The leaker then posted an update to his previous post, addressing the "miscommunication." In one of the comments, the leaker was asked to clarify "how he obtained this information," to which Prickly Assassin responded "for a price, yes." The leaker later clarified that this response was not meant to "ask for money."

"'Quid pro quo' means all the risks associated with releasing classified information. I have not received and will not receive any payment for sharing confidential information," the data miner stated.

Prickly Assassin was also accused of Photoshopping screenshots provided as evidence of the leak, but the leaker responded that the images shared were "all I could provide at the time without sharing any confidential information."

When asked about how the information was obtained, the data miner replied: Epic encrypts most of its servers with AES keys. Once the correct AES key is found and the encryption lock is bypassed, the information that should be available to developers will appear in the initial preview of the EGS storefront.

CD Projekt RED has not confirmed any of the above, but there are a few things we know for a fact: CD Projekt RED needs to deliver the promised delayed patch 1.2 by the end of March, which is two days away, and the second major patch delivery may be imminent.
