Cyberpunk 2077 confirms multiplayer elements are coming post-release

Gather your chummers

CD Projekt RED has revealed that its red-hot upcoming title Cyberpunk 2077 will include multiplayer components, but they won’t be arriving until some time after the sci-fi RPG’s initial launch.

“Until now, the only thing we said about multi was that it was in R&D,” said the Polish studio on twitter this morning. “As we’re getting closer to launching ‘single player’ Cyberpunk 2077 in Apr. 2020, we’d like to confirm that multiplayer’s in the works! The plan for now is to deliver Cyberpunk 2077 in April, then follow up with DLCs (free!) and single player content, and – once we’re done – invite you for some multiplayer action.”

There are no further details regarding whether the multiplayer element will be co-op, competitive, or be implemented into Cyberpunk’s exciting-looking story campaign. But it looks like such questions will have to be shelved for now, as these particular elements are still a long way from coming to fruition.

Cyberpunk 2077 launches April 16 on PS4, PC, Xbox One and Google Stadia.
