Copying this from another comment /edit: all of these updates are coming to the base game

TL;DR: This is not a DLC. This is Cyberpunk 2.0.

•	virtually every system of the main game has been changed and/or updated
•	police system is completely reworked with multiple tiers of NCPD/mercs chasing you down in vehicles according to your wanted level, apparently on level 5 maxtac will chase you down and it will be some sort of bossfight against them (source: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=riK1i8lQwRM&t=511s)
•	perks and skills have been completely overhauled, no longer simple passive stat boosts, much more active abilities like different melee finishers, a dash, or the ability to deflect bullets with melee weapons
•	the difficulty curve is reworked/rebalanced
•	the loot tiers are reworked
•	archetypes of enemies have been redone for more variety in combat encounters
•	an entirely new 6th skill tree that uses a different type of skill points (relic points) that will be used to add new abilities to your cyberware
•	installing cyberware now has an effect on your body and you cant install too much or else you will go cyberpsycho (no idea what that looks like in game)
•	installing cyberware now has a first person cutscene added to it, just like in the prologue at Vik’s clinic
•	you can now “attune” cyberware to one of your attributes, making it more efficient if you have invested in that attribute; example here optical camo is attuned to the “cool” attribute: https://i.imgur.com/1UI9SEX.png
•	armor is no longer tied to clothing, it instead tied to your cybernetics
•	vehicle combat is added to the game, you can even use your katana on your bike
•	vehicles are no longer bought from fixers, but bought through a website set up by mama welles
•	some vehicles have guns installed on them (machine guns, rocket launchers)
•	new type of infinitely replayable/repeatable missions are being added where you need to steal certain vehicles marked on your map
•	new activity introduced “airdrops”, loot caches that drop randomly on the map that you can fight over and retrieve for yourself
•	tons of new random events/activities are added to make the world feel more alive, like car chases and gang fights

That would be great, but we were also hyped before release of the base game...

NGL, I just pre-ordered after reading this. I know folks HATE pre-ordering literally because of the first release of CP2077, but I loved that game so much and always felt like the internet just had a disproportionate tantrum over it.

This isn't to say that we shouldn't have been disappointed at all. I certainly wish that they didn't hype so hard, but I think of all the games to over-promise and under-deliver, Cyberpunk and the projektRED team didn't deserve poster child status.

Also, god damn Keanu as Johnny Silverhand fulfilled all of my Cyberpunk2020 dreams from my nerdy-ass childhood, and I don't want this IP to die. So I'll buy the game and expansion for PC. I know that I'll get it anyway, even if it has bad reviews, because I did the first time and didn't regret it for a second.

What the heck? Advertise THAT instead of story content for I game I have not played for more than a few hours.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (3 children)

So are these updates free or only for Phantom Liberty owners?

Nice but the new spec req make me unable to play the game now :)

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Definitely enough new interesting stuff for me to replay the game probably. I will have to let my buddy know as he is absolutely ready for the dlc.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Oooooh. I adored the original. (Well, I played it in 2022, so the bugs were worked out). I can't wait for this!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Super excited for this. I've been meaning to replay cyberpunk for some time now but i will hold of until this is released. For all its faults and bugs and rushed content, I am someone who thoroughly enjoyed cyberpunk and over about 120hours playtime I did almost everything that was possible to do on a single character.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Holy cow, i really need to buy it now, that looks pretty amazing

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

That is like my wishlist for the game since it first came out.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I'm afraid to be optimistic but holy shit this sounds good.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I love the current iteration of cyberpunk but I'm also excited to see this new version of it. I'm most excited about the new skill trees.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Cyberpunk was one of the few games I played to completion (after all the post-launch updates to fix it). I'm excited to start over with these updates.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I am quite excited. Gonna wait for it to drop and then for a few patches, but I really LOVE the original game.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

The only thing I'm still missing is an actual open world mode that isn't tied to the storymode. It does seem a bit like the DLC might bring that, but I'm not too certain yet to be honest.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

This sounds interesting. I've held off playing it waiting for at least a 75% or under $20 discount.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

It's funny, I have been waiting as well, and just bought it last night for 50% off. I think I'll wait for this update to actually start playing it, though

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I had dropped the game after the intro, wanted to give it another try, so maybe this will be a good reason to try again !

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Sounds great, can't wait to finally play this. I've been putting it off after the disappointing feedback from the original release.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Cool. The original is visually stunning but the gameplay leaves a lot to be desired.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

This sounds like they're finally making the game what it should have been in the first place. New perk system in particular peaked my interest. Still haven't played it, and not picking up this at launch, but if it comes out and they didn't fuck it up this time I might pick up the game+dlc on sale after a couple months.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I can't wait to play this game for the first time when this expansion goes live. I've been a patient gamer and haven't even bought the game yet. Glad to see it will probably pay off especially since people seem to be happy with the game as is. There's going to be SO much to play this fall.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Same here, I was hoping the game would get an overhaul like Square did with FFXIV, glad to see it happening. I'll probably pick up a used copy of it now, or see if it goes on sale on Steam soon.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

If they can get close to what the witcher 3 delivered, then this would be one of the best games ever.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

The totk of cyberpunk

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I'm definitely going to play through again with all of that added.
