Escape from New York meets Ghost in the Machine.
I think it’s a shame it’ll be a month late as compared to the in-universe significant august 2023 event, but that’s fine.
I think it looks way more cinematic than the base game. I’m not sure how much were going to be feeling that, especially since that runs the risk of railroading players and removing our freedom.
Still, I am stoked.

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
- 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
- the difficulty curve is reworked/rebalanced
- the loot tiers are reworked
- archetypes of enemies have been redone for more variety in combat encounters
- 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
- you will be able to hack vehicles, similar to the Watch Dogs games
- vehicles are no longer bought from fixers, but bought through a website set up by wakako
- 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
Really hyped for this, while they fucked up the innitial launch of the maine game they constantly improved it over the past few years, ive completet it a few month ago and it honestly was one of my favorite Games ever
Man, I really love the game, and the trailer was good too. Idris Elba is a phenomenal actor, I hope he pulled the acting for a video game off.
Kinda bummed though that there were no news for the alleged patch 1.7 that should arrive with the dlc.
Apparently this expansion is effectively a 2.0 release that redos pretty much every core system in the game, from traits to police chases to perks, etc.

I loved the base game pretty much from launch and thought it was a masterpiece, glad to see the trailer looks so good. Very excited.
Wonder how they will handle the cure thing.
On one hand, it will be lame if it’s just bait for V. Like, really, really, really lame.
On another, if V actually finds a cure then that’s more interesting, but it means that they will need to include a new ending for the base game.
According to random rumors on plebbit, this should open a new ending to the base game. Take with a heap of salt.
I’m going to replay it because the main storyline has a false sense of urgency.
I had this game on launch and I’ve never been so disappointed by a game. Curious if after all the updates and this expansion if it will be worth giving a try again.
I waited until the first big patch to pick it up, but I definitely really enjoyed it overall. By that point I knew it wasn’t going to be GTA: Cyberpunk and just enjoyed the world and story for what it was.
I do wish the world was a little more interactive, but despite that it can be really fun to just wander around and get lost in it.
They can change systems but the story can’t change much.
There is a vibrant modding scene on Nexus for the game on PC. Lots of interesting mods to change the play experience. I feel the game will forever be solid but also somewhat disappointing. It had the potential to be so much more and isn’t at the level of The Witcher 3.
I’ll definitely be getting it, because I’d love more 2077 content. But as for “more cinematic”, that was one of the things that disappointed me about the main game was that it had such a specific story in mind. I mean overall it’s an enjoyable story, I was just hoping for a game that let you make up your own. I haven’t really played many crpgs (far more ttrpgs) so maybe that’s just not a thing? Or just less popular maybe? Idk lol. Still one of my favorite games ever.
Seems like this would start before “meet Hanako at Embers,” not after. V isn’t very alive in some of the game’s endings.

Bring it on, need to build up on those ~500 hours.
Is Cyberpunk worth playing on Series X these days? I know PC is the best way to play, but I’m not gonna be able to update my graphics card any time soon. I don’t know if I should wait until I’m able to upgrade, or just go ahead and play on console.
It even works like a charm on Series S, so Series X will be beautiful. It’s only last gen with their obsolete CPU’s and HDDs that don’t work well.
Far and beyond a great experience.
Played through two and a half times on my Series X and it looks beautiful. The Series X is a powerful console, so you’re still experiencing it the best way it can possibly be on console. The game is totally stable now and you’re doing yourself a disservice by holding off.
