Cyberpunk 2077: Ronin has an official release date set for April 18, 2026. This was reported by Game Rant and confirmed through IMDb’s announcement coverage. The physical release gives fans of CD PROJEKT RED’s RPG a fresh way to explore Night City, beyond just the digital version.
Right now, details about Cyberpunk 2077: Ronin are a bit scarce. Current sources describe it as a physical release connected to the Cyberpunk 2077 universe. However, CD PROJEKT RED hasn’t specified whether it’s a standalone expansion, a collector’s edition bundle, or a completely new product line.
This timing seems smart for CD PROJEKT RED. Cyberpunk 2077 has undergone quite a transformation since its launch in December 2020, where it received a Metacritic score of 73 amid technical issues. The game has bounced back, now boasting 88% positive ratings from nearly 400,000 Steam reviews. The 2023 Phantom Liberty expansion helped solidify this positive sentiment, and the game currently has 24,264 concurrent players on Steam, priced at $59.99.
CD PROJEKT RED hasn’t announced a sequel to Cyberpunk 2077 with a specific date yet. However, Project Orion — the codename for the next Cyberpunk game — is confirmed to be in early development. The April 2026 release window for Ronin suggests the studio wants to keep the Cyberpunk brand active and in the public eye during what could be several years before the next major release.

Community sentiment around Cyberpunk 2077 is generally positive ahead of this announcement. The Steam audience has largely moved on from the game’s rocky launch. The player base shows ongoing engagement more than four years after release, which bodes well for any new products related to the franchise.
What To Watch
- Product clarification from CD PROJEKT RED: The studio still needs to clarify what Cyberpunk 2077: Ronin really is — whether it’s a standalone release, a physical bundle, or something else entirely. We should expect an official product page or press release for more details in the coming weeks.
- Pricing and platform availability: There’s no announced price or confirmed list of platforms yet. Given the current $59.99 listing on Steam, how Ronin is priced will indicate how CD PROJEKT RED views it within the larger Cyberpunk catalog.
- Impact on Project Orion momentum: Keep an eye on whether Ronin garners enough commercial and critical interest to shift focus toward the next full Cyberpunk title, or if it mainly serves as a revenue driver for existing content.
