Cyberpunk 2077 will expand its reach in April with some fresh physical goodies for fans to collect. The iconic RPG has some new additions to help keep the community moving. While Cyberpunk 2077 world is already incredibly deep, an upcoming item aims to bring some of that atmosphere to the real world.
The road Cyberpunk 2077 has taken since its launch in 2020 is impressive in the gaming industry. After a launch filled with bugs and frustration, the team at CD Projekt Red worked tirelessly to fix the experience and eventually turned it into a title that is now loved by many gamers. A big part of what makes the world so addictive is the atmosphere, and a big part of that feeling comes from the music. Songs that play while you drive through the city have become as famous as the characters themselves, helping players feel that they are truly part of a futuristic society. This year, that same celebration of music culture will intersect with the world of video games in a way that should make longtime fans very happy.

New Cyberpunk 2077 collectibles for Night City fans
The biggest news for audiophiles is the arrival of Cyberpunk 2077: Ronina special vinyl record that will hit shelves on April 18th. This release is part of the 19th Record Store Day, an event where over 300 independent stores across the UK and Ireland come together to sell exclusive physical media. Singer Olivia Dean is the official ambassador for the event this year, which will also feature special soundtracks from other big names such as Pokémon and Undertale. This particular disc, created by Angel of Man, was not actually part of the original game's soundtrack, but was instead built from the ground up as a “love letter to the world of Cyberpunk 2077.” While fans have been able to listen to these tracks on streaming platforms since last year, this is the first time they can own a physical version, and it even comes with a brand new never-before-heard bonus track.
For those interested in the technical details, the Ronin disc is designed to be a true collector's item. The album contains 12 different tracks, ranging from high energy songs like “The Heist” and “Extraction Action” to much slower, more thoughtful sounds like “Rite of Passage”. The disc itself is a limited edition 'Katana CyberRed' vinyl weighing 180g, ensuring high quality sound for those who actually want to play it. It comes in a premium jacket that features original artwork inspired by the game's neon-heavy aesthetic. Materia Collective is the group behind the release, and it describes the project as a “striking new entry into the world of cinematic game-inspired music.” By picking this up at a local store, fans aren't just getting an awesome story—they're also helping to support the independent record stores that keep physical media alive.
If music isn't a priority, another big release is just a few days earlier. A new high-end figurine of Cyberpunk 2077 the character Songbird officially launches on April 8. Produced by Dark Horse, this 9-inch model captures the likeness of the famous netrunner who played a major role in Phantom freedom expansion. Songbird was a key figure in the story of V's survival, and this figure features her in her iconic denim jacket with all her unique cybernetic markings and gear. Priced at approximately $70 USD, this statue is meant to be displayed alongside the previously released Solomon Reed figure for the ultimate setup. Dark Horse Direct is already accepting pre-orders for the item, which has been highly anticipated by players who spent dozens of hours exploring Dogtown during the expansion's main quest.
While these physical items are exciting, many fans are still looking forward to the next big game. CD Projekt Red has confirmed that a sequel to Cyberpunk 2077 currently known as Project Orionis in the works, but reports suggest it won't be ready until 2030 at the earliest. The studio is currently putting most of its energy into the next Witcher game, which means waiting for more Cyberpunk the content will be long. The developers have officially said that there will be no more secret DLC or expansions for the current game, despite rumors that occasionally surface on social media. While there won't be any new digital missions to play, the release of things like the Ronin vinyl and the Songbird figure show that the franchise is still very much alive. For now, fans will have to make do with these collectibles and their own imaginations while they wait for the next chapter in the Night City saga to eventually begin.
