Mark your calendars, choombas! CD Projekt Red has just dropped news of a surprise 2.2 update for Cyberpunk 2077, set to be revealed in detail during an event on December 10th. Over a year after the release of the 2.1 update—remember the long-awaited metro system and shiny new vehicles?—players are now gearing up for the next big thing. But what’s in store? The devs are keeping their lips sealed for now.
What We Know (and Don’t Know) About Update 2.2
So far, CD Projekt Red has confirmed a few things that won’t be part of this update:
- No New Game+ mode.
- No support for the PlayStation 5 Pro.
For those hoping Cyberpunk 2077 would get a shiny upgrade for Sony’s newest hardware, sorry to burst your neon bubble. The devs had already squashed those rumors, but that hasn’t stopped the speculation train from rolling.
The Speculation Game: What Could Update 2.2 Include?
While the specifics are under wraps, fans are buzzing with theories. Here are the hottest guesses:
- Gameplay Tweaks: Improvements to mechanics, combat, or even new abilities are high on the wishlist.
- New Content: Could we see fresh storylines, gigs, or weapons? Fingers crossed!
- Official Modding Tools: Players hope for a modding platform akin to the one launched for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt.
- Cyberpunk: Edgerunners Integration: Given the series’ popularity, fans are dreaming of tie-ins with the Cyberpunk: Edgerunners Netflix anime.
The update will roll out for PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S, leaving last-gen consoles (sorry, Xbox One and PS4 players) in the dust.
Cyberpunk 2077: Still a Heavy Hitter
Despite its rocky launch, Cyberpunk 2077 has cemented itself as a gaming juggernaut. The title has sold over 30 million copies worldwide, and its expansion, Phantom Liberty, has added another 8 million units to the tally.
While the spotlight may be shifting to upcoming projects like The Witcher 4, Cyberpunk 2077 continues to thrive, proving that Night City still has plenty to offer.
Stay tuned for December 10th to see what surprises CD Projekt Red has in store. Until then, polish your mantis blades and keep your optics peeled for more updates!
