Miles Tost explained it on twitter. Try checking this out:
It's just not confirmed yet. NGplus is one of the (if not the most) requested features, I'm pretty sure they're trying to put it into the game.
I think Cyberpunk 2077 eventually gets NG+. But expect it to be one of the last features due to the balancing around it and stuff.
Like if this upcoming expansion is the only expansion they release - I would imagine NG+ will be part of it or release pretty soon after it. If they are going to make another expansion or two, then I imagine they will wait to implement NG+ until close to or after whatever the last expansion is.
Seems a lot easier to go back and implement it all at once rather than have to keep it in mind for every single thing you develop.

I still don't see what the point of NG+ is supposed to be when you can max everything out on a single playthrough anyway 
For me to be incentivised, NG+ would have to add something genuinely interesting and new, like TPP cutscenes. It has to feel different to a regular playthrough somehow. Otherwise, I'd just as well start up a whole new playthrough from scratch.

I feel the same way about NG+.
I have done like... 3-4 full runs of The Witcher 3. I tried NG+ once - was like... this is dumb... and just started a fresh run.
But a lot of people seem to really enjoy it. I just don't know why.
I like how new game + is 'hard', but cross platform save is 'easy'...
Simple version likely is "one day". Every enemy is max level, yet you one-shot 99% of mobs due to full build and crafting options. Starting or maelstrom mission force-equip junk weapon, Victor installs you a blue weapon grip over a legendary one and white Kiroshi over your epic one
the end. Oh, and the game may break if you don't have a cyberdeck equipped for the first mission so likely force equip cyberdeck for it over your sandevistan or berserk build Much wow, much gameplay.
cross platform saves are a piece of piss. translate flat file with a readily defined structure to another then ftp it if it has to go somewhere else. Adding NG+ by comparison is a massive undertaking
But other games have figured out NG+, and on a much quicker turn out too. I think cross platform save is still a relatively new next gen feature/thing.
The games complexity and architecture govern how easy it would be to implement. There's a lot of moving parts in cp2077 to consider. Miles wrote a long post on his twitter I think about it. Found a link..
I almost never tried NG+ in any games, but the last one was Star Wars Fallen Order... Absolutely useless... Maybe present day one, but nothing interesting (you just keep the cosmetic stuff... how great^^).
Better to replay a new game
If we do get NG+, I know this is wishful thinking, but I would really love a rework of the way saves are stored. Probably impossible because it might risk everyone's saves in the process! But this is definitely a game that is fun to play again and again. It's very difficult telling my corpo/nomad/streetkid saves apart in the regular save/load menu. Obviously they say corpo/nomad/streetkid on the save, so that helps. But I wish we could have some way of displaying character's saves separately instead of all lumped together into one screen. Always makes me scared that I am going to overwrite the wrong save and lose important data. So, if we DO ever get NG+, I really think we need a cleaner save/load organization to match it.

Never quite understood it myself either.
NG+ always removes most if not all of any sense of progression and turns any game into easy mode. Even souls game become significantly easier on new games.
I'll never get it.
What does that guy know?
He is just a developer on the game.
I know that...but hell, they got NG+ to work on Witcher 3.
I hope my posts aren't coming off has "CDPR sucks" and as hater. I'm just wondering.
In fact, just a guess, but I think they want a "good and interesting" NG+ (even for those like me who doesn't use NG+ in general) and not the usual "cheap & boring" that generally games have.I know that...but hell, they got NG+ to work on Witcher 3.
So it take time and they will probably release it, almost as the final DLC (if it's like TW3).
I'm not sure they ever said they planned to do it. Someone ripped a list of DLC names from the game files and then took it upon themselves to announce that this was what CDPR was going to do. Which is not the same thing.First for the new patch but.....
Do you still plan to implement this at any point ?
By now I think I would just hope for a modder do something about it.
