CD Projekt Red has announced that a massive update to Cyberpunk 2077 that is coming with Phantom Liberty DLC will also bring improvements to the base game.
It had been assumed that to benefit from all the gameplay and system updates players would have to purchase the DLC. However during Opening Night Live it was revealed that the base game would also see a whole host of improvements.
Dubbed Update 2.0 the exact updates that will be included outside of the DLC wasn’t announced but the Phantom Liberty includes the following…
• A dangerous new district
• Dozens of new story quests and gigs
• Vehicle combat and mounted weaponry
• Revamped police system
• Combat AI overhaul
• Endless dynamic events and missions
• Redesigned cyberware and perks
• All-new relic skill tree and abilities
• Increased level cap
• 100+ new items
Obviously the new district and story quests will be part of the DLC but the rest of the features may well make their way into the base game.
We won’t have long to wait as the Phantom Liberty and Update 2.0 are poised to arrive on September 26th for PlayStation 5.
PlayStation 4 players will not receive the 2.0 update or have access to the Phantom Liberty DLC.
If like me you’re yet to start Cyberpunk 2077 it seems like September 26th will be a perfect time to finally start.
Ahh yes the “upgrades”. I would call them mamdatory patches to make the game into something remotely promised but whatever. It was my first and last game I have ever preordered and it was a good life lesson for my money.
