Hey, it's been a while since we had a big old Cyberpunk 2077 leak, hasn't it? If true, this latest blunder is a big one, because it tells us loads of stuff about the game's first expansion, which is yet to be officially revealed. Apparently, dataminers have managed to pull this information from a patch, and subsequently leak it all online. As reported by VGC, the data includes hundreds of lines of dialogue from the aforementioned expansion, which basically outlines the whole thing.
The DLC will supposedly be set in the existing Night City map, but will open up parts of Pacifica that were inaccessible during the main campaign. The first expansion taking place in and around Pacifica has actually been a rumour for ages, but this pretty much confirms it (again, if the data is the real deal).
The leak references seven main story missions, a new character named Songbird, and a near total lack of Johnny Silverhand — the digital 'ghost' who lives inside of your character's head, played by Keanu Reaves. He's "silenced" by Songbird, apparently, on several occasions. Convenient!
Side quests and world events are also included in the leak, along with new dialogue that occurs at the end of the main game. This dialogue references the events of the expansion, but supposedly doesn't change much about Cyberpunk's conclusions.
It all seems fairly legit to us, but are you ready to jump back into Cyberpunk 2077? Wait for the inevitable announcement in the comments section below.

oh yes please more! can do so much more with this awesome game. theres very interesting lore in this game.
I gave up on this game 3 hours after it released.
A total lack of Silverhand? Ehhhhhh
Makes a lot of sense to do something more substantial with Pacifica. Silencing Johnny could also have some interesting implications in the broader story. I’m excited to find out!
Lol I couldn't even finish this mess to begin with.
7 meager missions added to the half baked mission and their icons bloating out the game map for a clearly unfinished and unrealized game from an oppressive developer of which much of the talent has since left. Not something I' m interested in.
How about using a new UI next game CDPR. The 15 year old one reminiscent of 90s pc games is well... Just old.
I can't wait to walk up to a symbol on my map, receive a phone call and a pdf that I won't read and infiltrate a building/rooftop so I can kill/hack/kidnap something. What a great gameplay loop! Games are so creative nowadays!
Keanu didn’t had time anymore for this game. Can’t blame him.
Playing it atm actually. It was absolutely horrible on launch even though it was stable on my ps5. Gave up after a few hours. Now tho…wow. Game is fricken awesome. Did a couple of early story missions but since then I’ve been focusing entirely on the side missions. Now I’m nearly 45 hours in and still have probably 8 hours or so of side missions left. They’re all so detailed with back stories and unique characters for every one of them. Absolutely loving it
Thank you, thank you…. Finally. This is Day 1 for me.
I started playing this again on PS5 last week and I'm absolutely loving it. I put 27 hours into the PS4 version (on PS5) before getting fed up/bored but on PS5 I'm 70 hours in and not even close to wanting it to end. I'd more than welcome some expansion content to extend it.
Can’t wait for this completed the campaign didn’t want it to end !
I’m actually very excited for this! I throughly enjoyed the base game despite its shortcomings. I do regret not waiting for the next-gen upgrade though.
"The DLC will supposedly be set in the existing Night City map, but will open up parts of Pacifica that were inaccessible during the main campaign."
I can't help but feel like this is paying for content I already paid for, especially since Pacifica was (might still be) an unfinished underdeveloped wasteland on release
I definitely ended up enjoying this game on my 5 but it was a bit of a mixed bag for me. Depending on the number of expansions, size of them and overall cost, I may go back to this if I can get all the DLC on sale at some point similar to the Extended Play sale Sony is running right now, but again, it just depends. If it ends up being free content, I’m definitely all in.
Very excited! I genuinely enjoyed this game on my PS5.
@Bismarck create something better I'm sure you have plenty of new and original ideas
@Rural-Bandit Colt Eastwood is a notorious Xbot, he's going to make Xbox look as good as possible so I wouldn't trust a word he says.
Love reading in 2022 the takes of those who gave up on this game after a couple of hours when it first launched. Very informative!
@brazzios_84 I played 4 hours and got bored
@ryanburnsred it’s a free update?
@AdamNovice 100% this! He blocked me on Twitter for telling him that if the Xbox had an a*sehole he would stick his tongue in it.
They better put this out for free.
Cyberpunk will never get another penny from me after that S***show of a release.
@Boucho11 I'm not sure why you're asking me that
@bozz I went from are you fricking kidding me? Off. To I’d actually pay extra for story based (missions) DLC. And I never pay for dlc. True, most of the games I like (action adventure games and rpg’s) a lot of the time don’t offer story based dlc but in the whole of ps4 being out I only bought one, the season pass for fallout 4 because I love me some solo offline fallout and extra missions, I’m in
Been to long.....I completed it and got all achievements/trophies and thought it was a solid 8 out of 10...but I don't think I can be bothered to return for any dlc
Dues ex was a better game
I was hoping for something involving Mr. Blue Eyes. Some of the side missions really messed me up like the Perales (?) family. Some of the endings were creepy. Cyberpunk 2077 was a lot of fun on the PS5. I think I’d be willing to go back to it for DLC someday but I’d rather a sequel or something.
Looking forward to it, been playing a lot of the game this past month and damn the side quests are so good.
@Rural-Bandit true though
Spoiler alert about Johnny. For some anyways.
@Rural-Bandit oh it was definitely silly. And quite funny in my opinion but yeah sometimes you have to hold your hands up and say it’s a bit daft. I have all consoles so find the arguments stupid. Chat again dude
whatevzz.. not playin this garbage again
Ive not long platinumed this so could go back but the fact Silverhand will be silenced is a bummer. Snarky Keanu made the game more fun for me, now il just be stuck with V.
@Bismarck
Games have always been heavily focused on shooting and killing things, Space Invaders came out in 1978. Only so much you can do with an action RPG
I actually really liked the Johnny and V relationship that bonds throughout the game. It's gonna be strange not seeing or hearing from him. This does sound interesting if true, though. Can't bloody wait!
@Rural-Bandit You can chose to believe him if you want but the fact is the guy is very often mocked on social media for his "everything Xbox is good, everything PlayStation is bad" outlook. So don't tell me to take my so called "negative fanboy stuff elsewhere" when your talking about a guy who does the very thing you accuse me off, so less of the moral high ground stuff.
DLC, as in content cut from the game, just so it could be sold as an add on?
I want to give this a try, but I want to make sure that is in a playable state, that, or the price drops drastically sub £20. Whichever comes first.
@TeapotBuddha plus I mean he had his story, time for a different one
I'm happy if they just open up more big buildings for exploration, or even more floors for the existing ones. Oh also allow us to take the skytrains.
I'm def less excited with the exclusion of Keanu Reeves, they should have waited and paid him accordingly to star in the DLC.
Looking forward to this, I didn't play Cyberpunk until the PS5 version came out & it was great imo.
Heavily flawed, but I can overlook technical flaws when there's a certain amount of IT factor in a game.
Cyberpunk has it.
That world is great, it's not perfect by any means, but Night City just feels different than other open world games, & the story was a cool idea that I kinda liked.
The absolute worst part of the game for me was Keanu Reeves being in it. He's such a completely mediocre actor that you could replace with a plank of wood tbh, & just comes across as try hard as *****. I wanted that dude gone from day 1, I'll never understand why he was cast because he's a terrible actor.
Anyway, less Keanu, more Pam & more content & it's an instant buy for me
Did they fix the mechanics and systems in the game? I had no issue with the story, found it really interesting as were the side missions. However the progression trees, augmentation system, everything else was woefully under thought and nowhere near where it should be for a true RPG. Also doesn’t sound like the new quests matter in the endgame, so this feels like cut content
I am terribly excited for more Cyberpunk but there's nothing about this that doesn't make me feel a bit disappointed if it's true. I was actually hoping for a new location to travel to with its own vibe and stories and characters. Pacifica is the worst part of the map so...
One of the worst games is have ever played even patched on ps5 I just hated the gameplay & the stupid hacking parts.
Keanu's character silver-handedly carried the whole game for me. That, and his interactions with V. If they're gonna remove the best thing about the game (imho), I'm not interested anymore.
Had this bought for me as an xmas gift 15 months ago. Was hyped waiting for it, read up on the lore etc. Saw the reviews and the YouTube vids showing how bad this game was rushed and the lack of features. CDPR mugged their fans off.
Waited until patch 1.3 to play it on my PS4, when it was a tad more stable - allegedly. Put in about 40 hours dealt with various bugs and crashes - could only recommend the excellent cyberpunk sci fi storyline.
Purchased a PS5 and waited for patch 1.5 and spent the last 2 weeks playing it. This time do the opposite choices and actions to my first play through. Even with the updates the game lacks basic features that could be found in Farcry 3 and GTA 3.
Again the storyline, the city and Johnny Silverhand make the game.
A DLC shouldn’t have V or silverhand as in game (spoilers) their dead or deleted, though as one of the other posters noted. V and Silverhands interactions make the game, so not sure how the DLC will fare missing those 2 characters.
All of the sudden someone spoke the word "Lore" and for some reason that made everything interesting..
I would execute the word if I could.
