It won’t be happening at launch, but everyone who speculated about a joint cyberpunk future, pat yourselves on the back.
CD Projekt Red late Wednesday Australian time confirmed that while their cyberpunk RPG would ship as a singleplayer story when it launches in April 2020, that isn’t all the story has. After the single-player DLC content is released — some free, some not judging by the company’s wording — the Polish-based studio would look at adding multiplayer into the mix:
1/2 Until now, the only thing we said about multi was that it was in R&D. 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!

2/2 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.

Don’t expect multiplayer for a long-time, mind you. The link in the tweet goes to the CD Projekt Red careers page, which contains listing for multiple multiplayer-focused roles:
But hey — at least we know its coming. It’s not like Cyberpunk 2077 will have an absence of replayability when it launches.
Cyberpunk 2077 is due out on April 16, 2020 for PC, PS4 and Xbox One.
