As CD Projekt RED gears up for the long development road ahead for Project Orion, the official sequel to Cyberpunk 2077, fans of the original game have plenty to keep them engaged thanks to the vibrant modding community and the enduring legacy of the game’s expansions.
Cyberpunk 2077 has undergone significant transformations since its initial release, marked by updates and the notable expansion, Phantom Liberty, which released last year. This expansion not only marked the end of an era but also fulfilled the developers’ original vision for the game, which was celebrated with a BAFTA award for Best Evolving Game. Despite no further expansions being planned, the game continues to hold a special place in the hearts of its creators and fans alike.
Maciej Włodarkiewicz, executive producer at CD Projekt RED, hinted at ongoing commitment to the Cyberpunk universe in a recent interview following the BAFTA win. “I don’t want to promise anything but definitely, Cyberpunk is deep in our hearts and if we find any reasonable way to keep it up, we will,” he stated, suggesting that the journey with Cyberpunk 2077 may not be entirely over.
For those players who are not ready to leave the neon streets of Night City behind, the PC modding community offers new adventures and enhancements. One such mod, ‘Missing Persons – Fixer’s Hidden Gems’ created by NexusMods user Darkcopse, introduces 194 new Fixer gigs and over 400 new SMS messages that guide players through the game. These quests not only add depth to the gameplay but also provide rewards such as Euros, experience points, and street cred.
This mod has proven to be incredibly popular, with nearly 400,000 downloads, highlighting the community’s ongoing enthusiasm and engagement with the game. It is available for free, making it an accessible option for PC players looking to expand their experience in Cyberpunk 2077.
As fans continue to enjoy these community-driven updates, all eyes remain on CD Projekt RED for any news regarding Project Orion. While it may be a long wait until more details are revealed, the developer’s track record suggests that the sequel will be worth the wait. In the meantime, Cyberpunk 2077 continues to offer a rich, immersive world thanks to the dedication of its developers and the creativity of its modding community.
