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
Dont get baited into preorders. The game is not going anywhere and there is unlimited number of copies.
Wish there was a pin comment feature here.
I’m very excited for this expansion, but at best I’m buying it on the release date
If you want to play it on release, Gamepass is a safer bet than pre-ordering
Really? That was one of the few games on the Xbox direct I saw that didn’t have game pass on its title card.
Everything is safer than pre-ordering…
They’re really pulling a No Man’s Sky here. I hope the game continues to see development
I always get a chuckle out of that comparison. NMS just piles on more stuff on top without ever fixing any fundamental issues the game has.
Sadly the rumor is this is the only developed content for the game. They already cancelled their roadmap IIRC.
They’ve already developed a ton of stuff in free updates and small dlc, the game is very different than what it was on launch.
Yeah, this is going to be the only expansion. The next cyberpunk game is already in the works.
I’ll come out and say that I see it as a good thing. I’d rather not another “Skyrim” that lasts 12 years and can’t move on. I also can appreciate a story that “ends” to get my rpg -closure as well.
Are we going to see NMS like redemption story on Cyberpunk? Hope so.
Haven’t they said this is it for CP2077? One expansion, load of upgrades, and nothing else is planned.
This sounds very encouraging.
I haven’t played CP2077 since launch. I didn’t have that many problems with it, I put in 60 hours and shelved it. Hopefully this increases the replay value of the game.
Oooooh. I adored the original. (Well, I played it in 2022, so the bugs were worked out). I can’t wait for this!
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.
I don’t think it was disproportionate at all, the game was nonfunctional for large swathes of people.
Buying a 3070 for the game shouldn’t have been necessary, but having done so, I had basically zero functionality issues. I went into the game with zero expectations and enjoyed it big time.
All of these changes are exciting. It’s what we were promised in the initial game.
The entire trailer and images feel as if something massive happened in the previous game. Like the government went down or something, and it’s chaos in the streets.
TBH I didn’t finish the last mission. I got to it, and didn’t finish it.
il pireate the dlc 1ste .before im buyin it - i own the base game .never pre order .on day 1 .
Oh, looks like the time is coming to finally buy this game.
Hold tight, no preorders!
I thought I couldn’t get any more excited about this upcoming DLC. Turns out I wss wrong. I love how all of this sounds!
Cool. The original is visually stunning but the gameplay leaves a lot to be desired.
Hotdamn thats amazing, gives me a bit of No Man’s Sky vibes in terms of fixing what is broken or what they still didn’t like. I cannot wait.
Or like The Witcher: Enhanced Edition. This is always how CDPR worked.
This sounds like an incredible update. Can’t wait to replay this game.
That would be great, but we were also hyped before release of the base game…
