Roughly half of CD Projekt Red's developers are working on the Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty expansion.

As revealed yesterday on September 7 by CD Projekt in their 2022 first half financial results presentation, a significant number of developers are working on Cyberpunk 2077's new expansion. On slide six, several gauges are used to show teams engaged in ongoing projects, and as of July 31, 2022, the gauge is dominated by devs working on Phantom Liberty.

This would be the Cyberpunk 2077 expansion that CD Projekt finally unveiled in full earlier this week. The Phantom Liberty expansion is due out at some point next year in 2023 for Cyberpunk 2077, seeing protagonist V working in tandem with the United States government for a change, but it'll only be coming to PC and new-gen consoles, ditching last-gen systems entirely.
