Although massively controversial upon launch due to the game practically not being finished,Cyberpunk 2077has come a long way. It’s a much more enjoyable (and complete) experience these days, and many are excited about version 2.0 of the game, as well as the DLC.
In fact, the next major patch for the game is so huge, developer CD Projekt Red (or at least its customer support) recommends a new save. A post on Twitter/X says that while 2.0 will let you continue your currentCyberpunk 2077playthrough, a fresh start is recommended.
Hey, chooms! While you’ll be able to continue the game with your current character on an existing save, we recommend starting a new game after@CyberpunkGameUpdate 2.0. Due to the number of changes, starting fresh will enhance your overall gameplay experience!pic.twitter.com/rqdokahhAg
The post goes on to say that this is down to the sheer amount of changes that have been made to the game for this next update, which releases September 21.
Then there’sPhantom Liberty
A few days afterCyberpunk2.0, CDPR will also be releasingPhantom Liberty. This new bit of content will be available from September 26, bringing with it a new area, characters, story, quests, gigs, boss fights, and more. Oh, also Idris Elba voices a character.
When the game originally came out at the end of 2020, it was met with immense backlash due to the poor state of the released product. It was so bad thatSony pulled the gamefrom its digital store and began issuing refunds.
CD Project Red’s otherwise stellar reputation was ruined overnight. Fortunately, after a series of immense bug fixes,Cyberpunk 2077finally became the game it was meant to be. Which is good, because no one would have wanted DLC of a game that was too buggy to play.
