It only took one message to restart the speculation machine. Five years after its release, Cyberpunk 2077 could well experience a new burst with a unexpected update scheduled for December 2025. A post published by CD Projekt Red on X (formerly Twitter) was enough to arouse the community’s curiosity, just a few days before the game’s anniversary date.
In this deliberately vague message, the Polish studio evokes an imminent transmission to players. “SECURE COMMUNICATION CHANNEL ESTABLISHED. PREPARE FOR PRIORITY TRANSMISSION…” we read, accompanied by an enigmatic image showing three dates: December 10 (initial launch of the game), December 12 (arrival of the character Solomon Reed), and December 29 (appearance of Songbird). So many tracks that suggest an event or an update in several stages.
A 2.4 update awaited by Cyberpunk 2077 fans
Nothing is confirmed yet, but the majority of fans agree that this message announces the arrival of version 2.4. After the major 2.0 updates and the Phantom Liberty expansion, Cyberpunk 2077 seems well on its way to offering a new round of content.
Speculation is rife: addition of new quests, extension of the end of the game, return of secondary characters… Some are even betting on a multiplayer surprise. CD Projekt Red’s message, if it remains deliberately cryptic, revives the wait around the studio’s flagship title.
A well-established teasing strategy by CD Projekt Red
This is not the first time that the studio has relied on mystery to mobilize its community. The use of coded messages, combined with minimalist visuals, is an integral part of their strategy. The published schedule clearly emphasizes the December 10, 2025day of 5 years of Cyberpunk 2077as a marker not to be missed.
This type of communication creates an almost cinematic narrative tension: an expectation, clues, then a revelation. And for a game inspired by a cybernetic thriller, the parallel is well found.
Cyberpunk 2077 crosses 35 million sales and prepares for the future
Beyond this teaser, the universe of Cyberpunk is far from being at a standstill. The game recently surpassed 35 million copies sold in the world. An impressive performance for a title which had a stormy launch. Furthermore, CD Projekt Red has confirmed that it is actively working on Cyberpunk 2with a massive recruitment planned by 2027.
A recently published job posting even suggests that this sequel could include a multiplayer modea highly anticipated feature since the debut of the first opus. It remains to be seen whether the future update 2.4 will be a simple birthday nod… or the first milestone of a new chapter.
