Vice president and chief financial officer Piotr Nielubowicz said on Thursday: "For everyone who has already walked the streets of Night City – we're working on further DLCs as well as on a major expansion featuring a new storyline."

He also claimed that Cyberpunk 2077 has now sold over 18 million copies.

Today, as part of the fiscal year 2021 earnings report, CD Projekt RED revealed that Cyberpunk 2077 has sold over 18 million units across all platforms, according to internal estimates based on information gathered from retail distributors.

Chief Financial Officer Piotr Nielubowicz said the Cyberpunk 2077 next-gen release was satisfying for the studio. He also confirmed a Cyberpunk 2077 expansion is coming featuring a new storyline.

One of our priorities has been to further improve Cyberpunk 2077. The eight updates published over the past year significantly enhanced gameplay performance.
Another milestone was the release – in February 2022 – of the game's next-gen console version, along with a large update for last-gen consoles and PCs. We are satisfied with the reception with which our work has been met by gamers.
I can also share with you that we have sold 18 million copies of the game in less than a year and a half. For everyone who has already walked the streets of Night City – we're working on further DLCs as well as on a major expansion featuring a new storyline.
I've already touched upon internal changes. They were triggered by the release of Cyberpunk 2077, which taught us a great deal. We responded by updating our Group's strategy.

Nielubowicz added that Cyberpunk 2077 fans can also look forward to the release of Edgerunners, an anime adaptation produced by Netflix, in the latter half of 2022.

The CD Projekt RED CFO then switched from Cyberpunk 2077 to the other major IP owned by the Polish studio, The Witcher. Over 65 million copies of The Witcher games have been sold to date, with the critically acclaimed The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt surpassing 40 million copies sold on its own.

The executive mentioned both the next-gen version of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt (which got delayed out of Q2 just yesterday as CD Projekt RED opted to finish the development on its own) and the recent announcement of a new chapter in the saga to be developed with the Unreal Engine 5 in partnership with Epic Games.

Financially, CD Projekt RED announced topping $207 million in revenue last year, while net profit reached $48.79 million. Nielubowicz boasted that the company's financial reserves actually increased by nearly $65.3 million despite having paid their highest dividend ever (over $116.7 million).

Hell yeah, I'm ready for more.

Hopefully it's a completely separate story.

 

[Cravis]

I am ready. Love the world they have created.

Haven't touched it for over a year at this point after around 100 hours put in. Would be 100% excited to jump back in with a meaty expansion the size of TW3 expansions. Panam was my favorite character so would like to see something focused there, but hopefully it'll be good whatever it is. In view of the branching endings not sure how they could do something postgame focused on V and would be less thrilled about some extra side story that takes place pre-endgame. But we'll see.

Also waiting for the story DLC before I go back. But nice to hear about these sales, guess no amount of twitter-outrage was able to harm this game.

 

[Barnabot]

it'd be interesting if they add a 3rd person mode. not through mods but as a official patch.

Cool to get the official word on further content for CP. Still havent played it (despite getting on PS5 during a sale), but I have read alot of people saying there was not as much content as they expected. This should make them happy, though i wonder how many will comeback at this point.

 

[GreyHorace]

So after the whole shitstorm that was initial launch, CP2077 is now amazing? Has it achieved a No Man's Sky style redemption?

Would like to play it at some point, but only on next-gen systems.

I actually hope for a VR-patch in the future. That would be amazing.

Maybe this is accounted for, but how many of those 14 million were reversed by quick refunds? If that number was more than a couple million, the tail looks significantly less bad.

I don't know, I didn't have major issues with it even running it on a 970 at launch (since upgraded to 3070) so my word of mouth was almost all positive. I know the console versions were trash.

I loved the game, PC version on a high-end system was fine for the most part. The stories and side missions were unique and really great.

Can't wait to jump into a beefy DLC!
