The biggest and free Cyberpunk 2077 update is coming on September 21

Idris Elba’s involvement in Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty all but guarantees that fans will flock to it.

2020 saw the release of Cyberpunk 2077, a massive city that was first revealed to the world by CD Projekt RED. However, the highly anticipated launch was tainted by controversy because of several flaws, particularly on the Xbox One and PlayStation 4.

After over three years, Cyberpunk 2077 has managed to rise above the negative reviews and bombings to reach its full potential.

Continuous post-launch upgrades and unmatched support have allowed Cyberpunk 2077 to significantly advance on a number of platforms. But the 2.0 update’s introduction, which claims to maximize the power of the newest gaming technology, is what has drawn the most attention lately.

The eagerly awaited 2.0 upgrade is scheduled for release on September 21 and will be accessible to all Xbox Series S/X, Windows PC, and PlayStation 5 users. This update offers a plethora of new features, numerous enhancements, and adjustments to the game mechanics and systems. It’s more than just a patch. As demonstrated in the Night City Wire presentation, the 2.0 version includes updated elements such as a police system where encounters with the Max Tac force may result in fatalities. In addition, players will notice enhanced cyberware and capacity systems, a revised skill tree, and a revamped user interface. Players might anticipate discovering new skills that drastically change the way they play, as opposed to the typical small percentage improvements.

Five days after the 2.0 release, fans can go into Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty if they’re itching for a deeper story. It’s important to remember that none of these features will work with previous PS4 or Xbox One machines. Some people may find this decision difficult to accept, but it’s necessary in light of the launch troubles that predominantly affected older platforms.

Rewinding, the premium DLC is described as a “rebirth” for the game, broadening Night City’s horizons and improving the richness of in-game options.

Players will take control of V, the main character of the game, as he goes on an espionage operation to free the NUS President, who is trapped in the dangerous Dogtown neighborhood, against a backdrop of intrigue and suspense. Additionally, this update gives you the opportunity to form friendships with new people, such the endearing Idris Elba’s portrayal of Solomon Reed. This plot arc has drawn interest, with some suggesting that gamers may be forced to decide between Elba’s character and Songbird. All of the characters seem to be being portrayed in the story as victims of their circumstances, which heightens the impact of the actions they make.

In addition to the story, the expansion will have improved gameplay and technological improvements. It is anticipated that CDPR, which is renowned for its cinematic abilities as seen by the trailer for Edgerunners and their Witcher series, would add narrative layers through cinematic scenes.

It’s evident that CD Projekt Red believes the Cyberpunk world has a bright future. The successor to Cyberpunk 2077, Project Orion, is also under development and promises to explore the “full power and potential of the Cyberpunk universe,” in addition to the painstaking work being done to reimagine the game. There’s also talk of CDPR’s ongoing dedication to their popular Witcher series and a brand-new IP called Project Hadar.

On September 21, a titanic battle will take place in an RPG-heavy universe as the 2.0 update for Cyberpunk 2077 and the new patch for Baldur’s Gate 3 drop simultaneously. With their different gameplay and visual styles, both games will compete for players’ attention, making this a week to remember.

There are just a few weeks left till then, so you might as well start sleeping in because after September 21 you won’t be able to.
