Well, news dropped and this thread is dead so...well, *ahem*...
Wake the fuck up,Samurai! We have a city to burn.The expansion for Cyberpunk 2077 got announced and a trailer dropped.
Cyberpunk 2077 - Phantom Liberty. Release date is Sept. 26, and will come with an update that reworks a lot of base game systems:
* A complete rework of the police system. There will be NCPD/Mercs chasing based on your “wanted” level (5 levels max).
* The perks and skills system has been thoroughly overhauled. Now very few of them will give simple passive bonuses and stats. Instead, they will provide interesting active abilities and meaningful changes. Some examples are dash, different melee finishers, and bullet-deflecting with melee weapons.
* The 6th skill tree was added. It uses Relic Points as a resource, and players will use it to add new abilities to Cyberware.
* The difficulty curve has been rebalanced and reworked for a better pace of the game.
* New enemy types and archetypes were added, and many existing ones have been reworked to introduce more variety in combat.
* Several changes to how Cyberware works, including a negative effect if you have too much of it.
* The highly-requested vehicle combat improvements are now added to Cyberpunk 2077 Phantom Liberty. For example, you can use your Katana while driving a bike. In addition, some vehicles now have weapons installed on them, like machine guns and rocket launchers.
* Speaking of vehicles, you will now be able to hack cars. Additionally, you no longer buy cars from fixers. Rather, they are now purchasable via Wakako Okada’s website.
So if you've avoided CP2077 because of it's launch state, but if you're a fan of games like Fallout: New Vegas and Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines...well, September may be time to reconsider. And if you've already beat the game...well, this actually sounds like it may be worth a fresh playthrough.
(Of course, never preorder. Wait to make sure they haven't broken everything. But CP2077 is in a very good state now, and with any luck they've learned their lesson on actually checking the testing on platforms other than a couple of variants of PC).
