Cyberpunk 2077
As we all sit around and wait for Cyberpunk 2077’s 1.2 patch which may or may not make it out in the next few days here before the end of the month, there allegedly may be a look at coming future DLC to the game, at least in name only.
I am taking this with a mountain of salt as the sourcing on this is a little all over the place. A redditor, u/PricklyAssassin, claims to have found these names within the developer backend of the Epic Game Store. This is different than past Cyberpunk “leaks” about the game’s rocky development that were elaborate stories that CDPR itself shut down. This is just a list of ten potential DLC names, presumably the free ones that are supposed to be coming out within the next few months.
Here are the names, and what I think they could be focused on:
Ripperdocs Expansion – This may be the “plastic surgery” expansion that lets us change our appearance past the character creator. Or it could be something with new cyberware.
Body Shops Expansion – This could also be a plastic surgery expansion. Or it could be a way to customize cars.
Fashion Forward Expansion – This seems pretty obvious and might just be new clothing options, but also hopefully QoL things like previewing clothing or transmog.

Gangs of Night City – This could be a story thing, or perhaps the ability to reactivate a bunch of gang encounters all over the city after you clear them.
Body of Chrome – Given that a hugely popular mod is the ability to add more visual cyberware to your body, including full Lizzy Wizzy style chrome, that’s my guess for what this could be. Or it could be the name of a Lizzy Wizzy mission.
Rides of the Dark Future – New cars, which seems pretty obvious. Would love to see a garage.
The Relic – Some are guessing this could tie into the sixth ability/stat slot in the game that is currently blank, but who knows.
Neck Deep – No idea. Sounds like a mission name.
Night City Expansion – Maybe a generic name for all of this, or a literal map expansion to some extent.
Unnamed DLC - ?

So, that’s what I can gather from these. They could be entirely made up and just be a “wishlist” of content, and while I’ve certainly seen more elaborate fakes in my time, I don’t know, I have a feeling this could be legit. I do expect the free DLC of the game to focus mostly on cosmetic additions or things like new clothes or cars or guns, with a handful of missions, and this list would make some amount of sense in that regard.
We are supposed to get free DLC before the second half of the year according to the very nebulous roadmap CDPR released a few months ago, and we’re about halfway to that deadline already. For now, we still need that patch to come, and it’s possible when it does, people will be able to extract more potential DLC info from those files. I suppose it’s also possible CDPR could surprise drop some free DLC alongside this patch, but I’m going to absolutely not get my hopes up for that. Stay tuned.
