Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty will add a ton of new features and mechanics to the base Cyberpunk experience, but CD Projekt Red has revealed that fans who don’t want to buy the DLC won’t be left out in the cold.
As part of Gamescom Opening Night Live, CD Projekt Red gameplay designer Yuliia Pryimak joined Geoff Keighley on stage to announce the Cyberpunk 2.0 update.
“I’m really happy to announce that a lot of what we’ve just seen in the trailer will also be coming to Cyberpunk base game for free for current-gen consoles and PC,” Pryimak said.
Cyberpunk 2.0 is coming to PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC next month alongside the Phantom Liberty expansion on September 26. We don’t know exactly which features will be part of the base game and which will be locked behind Phantom Liberty, but this is the list of new features CD Projekt Red included in the trailer:
- 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 – Weapons, cyberware, and fashion
It feels safe to assume that new story content like missions and locations will be exclusive to Phantom Liberty, while changes to the gameplay, combat, and AI will be universal.
