CD Projekt has revealed what to anticipate from the Cyberpunk 2077 2.5 replace, which ties in with the discharge of Netflix anime Edgerunners 2.
Edgerunners content material features a new facet quest known as Clampdown, which is about earlier than the occasions of Edgerunners 2 (CD Projekt recently confirmed that Edgerunners 2 is set in 2078, only one yr after the sport itself). Throughout this quest you’ll get a brand new 5-piece gear set primarily based on the character King from Season 2. There’s additionally a brand new radio station that has tracks from the Edgerunners sequence.
However there’s loads extra coming with 2.5 unrelated to Edgerunners, together with extra facet quests. The Welcome to Paradise! facet quest takes you on a journey to uncover a thriller and discover Evening Metropolis on a guided tour narrated by Richard Evening, the founding father of Evening Metropolis itself. There’s additionally a brand new facet quest that acts as an extension of Idiot on the Hill, which incorporates new tarot playing cards.

Maybe essentially the most vital addition with 2.5 is the brand new Double Bother perk within the Cool tree, which helps you to dual-wield Pistols and Revolvers from the Energy class for the primary time. The hope is that the perk will allow a completely new playstyle, and I’m positive followers will get a kick out of making an attempt it out.
Elsewhere, there’s cross-platform mod assist on PC, Mac, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 5 Professional and Xbox Sequence X and S, and varied quality-of-life enhancements, equivalent to saves within the “Load Sport” menu grouped by separate playthroughs, and, lastly, an FOV (Discipline Of View) slider on consoles.
On the tech facet of issues, there’s assist for DLSS 4.5, together with as much as 6X Multi Body Technology or Dynamic Multi Body Technology, and the 2nd Technology Transformer Mannequin, and varied efficiency enhancements.
Total, 2.5 is a welcome shock for Cyberpunk 2077, after CD Projekt had indicated it had no plans for additional DLC for the massively profitable recreation. After all, The Witcher 3 is getting a brand new enlargement 12 years after launch, so maybe CD Projekt will return in a while with a brand new enlargement for Cyberpunk 2077. For now, although, 2.5 is certain to spark a return to Evening Metropolis for lapsed gamers, and provides followers of Edgerunners a push to leap in in the event that they haven’t already.
