"Cyberpunk 2077": New DLC and news on the Netflix series
CD Projekt Red has presented the first major story expansion for "Cyberpunk 2077". Playstation 4 and Xbox One will be left empty-handed.
After a disastrous launch, "Cyberpunk 2077" has slowly fought its way back into the hearts of fans over the past two years with countless bug fixes and smaller updates. With the "Phantom Liberty" expansion, the first major content update for the futuristic open-world game now follows. . The Polish developer studio CD Projekt Red presented some info on the DLC as well as a short teaser trailer during a "Night City Wire" livestream.
"Cyberpunk" fans can look forward to a gripping spy story, numerous new weapons, new characters and a completely new district. In addition, Keanu Reeves returns in the role of Johnny Silverhand. How the story expansion relates to the story of the main game is not yet known.
The DLC is scheduled for release in 2023 for PC, Playstation 5, Xbox Series X/S and Stadia. Last-gen consoles will not be served with the new update. Smaller content updates will also no longer be released on Playstation 4 and Xbox One - instead, CD Projekt Red will limit itself to bug fixes and stability updates in the future. In view of the game's still very poor performance on the old console generation, this decision is not surprising.
Those who want to shorten the time until the release of "Phantom Liberty" should mark 13 September in their calendars. That's when the anime series "Cyberpunk: Edgerunners" will be released on Netflix. As a small foretaste, CD Projekt Red has published a promising trailer (Attention: NSFW) for the series. Also announced was a free "Edgerunner" update for "Cyberpunk 2077". The small expansion is available on all platforms and offers cosmetic items as well as a new questline that is linked to the story from the series.
My love of video games was unleashed at the tender age of five by the original Gameboy. Over the years, it's grown in leaps and bounds.
