Cyberpunk: Edgerunners Season 2 premiered this week on Netflix. To celebrate a new season of the award-winning anime, CD Projekt Red cooked up another major update for Cyberpunk 2077, likely to entice players to return to Night City for one more playthrough. Though the update isn't live yet, its contents have been leaked ahead of release.
CD Projekt Red isn't one to let its games go gently into the night. The Witcher 3 launched over a decade ago, but it's still receiving support with the release of numerous patches, a remastered update, and new DLC content. Despite a rocky launch in late 2020, CD Projekt Red has poured its time and resources into Cyberpunk 2077, which has fixed the game, providing its value and steadily growing its fanbase.
The first season of Edgerunners told the story of David Martinez, but Season 2 takes off in a whole other direction and follows a completely different group of people. Edgerunners Season 2 premiered on Oct. 20. Not far behind is the release of a new update for Cyberpunk 2077, inspired by the anime. Cyberpunk 2077 2.5, also known as the Edgerunners 2 update, is coming to consoles and PC on Oct. 22 — two days after the release of the anime on Netflix, giving players enough time to binge-watch all 10 episodes of Edgerunners Season 2.
Cyberpunk 2077 2.5 update details leaked
CD Projekt will unveil more about the update later today, but gamers can already find out more because, according to Push Square, a content creator published a now-private video detailing what's coming in Cyberpunk 2077. By the time the video was removed, it was too late, as enough fans had seen it to start sharing details online.
This update includes various exciting features that will cause thousands of players to boot up their games and start a new playthrough. Console players will at last be able to use mods through mod.io, similar to The Witcher 3 Remastered. A perk called "Double Trouble" is being introduced to the Cool skill tree, allowing dual-wield combat for pistols and revolvers. Music from Edgerunners will be added to a new in-game radio station. Cyberware will receive an array of customization features, and V will gain access to more hairstyles and clothing options. And there's also some new content to explore with the addition of two side quests.
Whether Edgerunners is for you or not, the Edgerunners 2 update for Cyberpunk 2077 is definitely worth trying. Learn more about it in CD Projekt Red's livestream on Oct. 21 at 11 a.m. ET.
