Cyberpunk 2077: No Coincidence is a brand-new adventure coming this year

CD Projekt Red’s dystopian future is getting another expansion with Cyberpunk 2077: No Coincidence, introducing a whole new story.

After clawing its way back to positive reviews, Cyberpunk 2077 is back on good terms with the majority of fans, with many believing its journey of redemption will be complete when the new DLC, Phantom Liberty, drops later this year.

Some fans have even reflected on the game’s rocky launch, believing it wasn’t actually as bad as people made it out to be, and criticised too harshly. Cyberpunk 2077 launched on Xbox One, PS4 and PC in 2020, and faced an avalanche of bugs, glitches and performance issues that severely impacted people’s experience with the game. The launch was such a disaster, it’s been admitted into the New York Museum of Failures.

It seems like it’s smooth sailing for now though, especially with Phantom Liberty on the horizon, which will extend the game’s story, add a new area to explore, and introduce several long-desired gameplay additions and features.

That’s not all though, another story expansion is on the way, this time in the form of a novel based on the CD Projekt Red IP.

Written by Polish science fiction writer, Rafal Kosik, Cyberpunk 2077: No Coincidence is a story novel set within the same universe as the game, following a different set of characters, but keeping the same setting of Night City.

Its description reads: “In neon-drenched Night City, a ragtag group of strangers have just pulled off a daring heist on a Militech convoy transporting a mysterious container. What do each of them have in common? Good, old-fashioned blackmail. Forced to do the job, they have no idea how far their employer's reach goes, nor what mysterious object the container holds.”

Sounds like a wild ride, and one that aims to expand on the lore of Night City and its denizens, including factions found in the game. No Coincidence is set to be a standalone story, so fans hoping for some crossover with V and Johnny Silverhand will likely be disappointed.

Cyberpunk 2077: No Coincidence will be released on the 8th of August, with pre orders available now.
